[The image of a rather unhappy Sayaka fills the mirror. Some people have left, but one of those that managed to leave has left Sayaka in a bout of denial, with a rather easy idea to latch onto, even if it is false.]

Hey, something happened again and I missed it, right? Another mass abduction, or a note showing the way to some sort of treasure that went up when I was asleep? Or a multi day sleepover? Anything?

[Of course, nothing of the sort has actually happened. It's just that someone she had grown fond of is no longer there.

She's still handling it better than the last time part of her life went bad.]

Well, I knew Madoka since we were kids... but the others were a little recent.

Even so, it still counts. [ Upbeat. ] They're important to you, so I'll do my best! [ Complete with a little salute. ]

... While you're at it, could you check the 'out of bounds' areas? I ended up lost there for a week once, so...

I can do that, since I won't have to touch down. Mach Caliber and I will do our best. [ That much, she can promise. ]

[tookupthesword]

Okay. [... She's not entirely up for meaningless talk right now...]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

I'll report in later, Sayaka. [ Probably with poor results.

She waves. ] Bye for now!

[tookupthesword]

Yeah, bye. [Not that she is expecting good news...]
