frilly | Yu Private Convos

[ she refrains from saying that they did get the right answer, in a way. even if by accident, it was still murder. rachel's wish is gone because she took julius's wish away, and both of them will come back alive in the end.

at least she's smart enough not to say that to a grieving friend. ]

... We definitely could have come to something better. If we had more time... Maybe if we had been faster, looking around...

[ It's a right answer.

Does that make it the best answer? ]

... we didn't do enough. We failed them... Ambition, Fortune, Rachel. Blackfire and Hector, too. ... I don't know how we can make this up to them. All of them.

[ Madoka steps back, because somehow it seems in poor taste to say negative things in the middle of a hug. ]

... I don't think we can make it up to them. It's a contest.

[ He is quiet for a long moment, just kind of looking at her. ]

There may be something.

... I spoke to Ray. He told me what you plan to do.

[ she kind of expected that information would be shared between them, and doesn't really mind. but still just waits for him to confirm it himself instead of saying it... ]

... I was going to do the same.

[ So soft. ]

I promised Ambition Rachel, and then we voted for Ambition. I can't promise her a follower she'll have to eliminate. So I was going to go myself.

... do we both need to go?

I don't think so.

Someone used their powers on me. I have to switch no matter what. So - if you don't want to...

[ His eyebrows lift. ]

Kaname-san...

[ Advancement Opportunity? On Madoka? But ... who? ]

... have you spoken to Sincerity, yet?

Yes... I wanted to make sure they knew that I wasn't leaving them on purpose. Although I haven't spoken to them since deciding who to align with.

... you're positive you're willing to switch to Cunning? You could go with someone else, and I could defect to Cunning this week...

[ He at least wants to make the offer. ]

[ Madoka's smile actually brightens at that. Not at the offer, but because she gets to tell him 'no.' She gets to be useful. ]

No - I'll do it. You should stick with the god you really believe in.

[ God. He's too emotional for a tiny pink to come through for him like this, because he visibly struggles for a moment with keeping his emotions in check.

In the end he'll just kind of -- reach for her? It's time for a(nother) hug. ]

I still plan to speak to my god. But I ... Kaname-san, thank you. For doing this for them.

[ Oh! This hug startles her a bit, but she still returns it.

She speaks soft and gentle, as if these are comforting words: ]

I don't know if I deserve that gratitude. If no one had used their power on me, I don't know that I would be doing this...

Still. This was what you immediately decided to do, when you ended up in this situation...

[ He'll drop a hand on her head once more, smiling down at her. ]

Between the two of us, we would have been able to save Cunning, one way or another. For me, that's all I need to know.

[ She smiles back. ]

I'll have to introduce myself to Cunning properly.

... want someone to come with you? [ He offers and means it, even with the little smile on his face. ] I'd like to get to know him too.

Really? That would be nice...! I would be less nervous if I didn't have to go alone.

Of course. I mean it. [ He looks her in the eyes, quite serious. ] Just tell me when you want to go, and I'll be there.

I'll go tomorrow - and I'll come get you when I do.

Sounds good. ... can I call you Madoka-san? [ out of the blue, but, god. she's given him the only reason he has to smile tonight. ]

Oh - of course...! Just Madoka is okay, actually!

[ A laugh. ]

Madoka. Call me Yu, alright?

[ He'll reach out, and hook the pinkies of their hands together. ]

You're the person I always thought you were. I hope you know that.

[ Aw, she shakes their hands once like a pinky promise.

Even if she still looks like she's not sure how to take that praise. ]

Thank you...!

[ He'd die for her, it's fine.

Yu smiles a little, swinging their hands just a little. Then, regretfully, he'll let go. ]

I need to go back. Rachel is waiting for me. Come find me tomorrow, alright?

I will...

[ Poor Rachel... But she's glad that Yu is going to be there for her, at least... ]

Um, tell her I had fun baking together. We weren't very close, so I don't want to take up any of her time, but...
