-The voice on the other end is... tired. Weak from fasting. But probably from spending days upon days crying in her room as well. No one is keeping score.-

If my miracle powers were working... I could solve this famine. Why won't they work? Why can't I do any good here?

... I really am just taking up space, aren't I? A waste of everyone's time...

[ Madoka pulls herself together to respond. Hungry and exhausted, yes, but not about to sit back and let someone say those things. ]

Wh-what? No, hey! Don't talk about yourself like that! It's not true at all!

[hihou]

How do you know?

[fatedmagica]

Deciding if you're a waste of someone's time isn't yours to decide. You might not feel like it right now, but I know lots of people here definitely love you and definitely don't want you thinking that way. So please...

[hihou]

You don't know that... you don't know any of that...

[fatedmagica]

Well... you're right about that. I don't know it... I don't know much of anything sometimes... but I believe it. I definitely believe it, even at 120%! You're not a waste of time. I'm sure of it!

[hihou]

So... you'd put your faith in me? Even if I am so powerless?

[fatedmagica]

Of course I will! So please... please, have faith in yourself too, okay?

[hihou]

I don't know if I can... but the faith of others...

I'm not sure you know how important it is to me.

[fatedmagica]

Then don't worry. No matter what, I promise to always believe in you. So let's do our best together, okay? As long as we have faith, we'll be okay.

[ Except faith isn't going to make food appear... and Madoka would admit otherwise that, being a food lover, she misses her meal variety. ]

[hihou]

Okay... If you're willing to put your faith in me...

-It may not, but even if Sanae can't make miracles, that faith still strengthens her, still inspires that divinity within her.-
