-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...

[The message isn't signed, and the writing looks...agitated, somehow.]

You aren't taking up space, and you're not a waste of everyone's time. If your powers aren't working, it's the fault of the people in charge here, not you.

[hihou]

-Oh... the vine had picked that up. Of course. Sanae stares at the message for a moment before speaking again.-

I can't do my job here. I can't be who I am. I'm just a body. I'm nothing without my divinity and the purpose of that divinity. Your words are kind, but this is the truth.

[undefines]

It's not the truth at all. You're more than just your job. I know that it's upsetting to feel like you can't do anything, but that doesn't make you worthless.

[ 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!

[unbrkableteen]

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. We're all in the same boat here.

[shy_flier]

Um... I... um, don't know you really, or... what powers you might have but...

But when times are lean it's not good to blame anyone for it. That's... something that happens. Even... if it happens in a really strange way.

[shanghaiworld]

... Do you guys want me to bring or send some stuff over to the shrine? I have more than what two people really need, and besides, I most likely don't need as much as a human.

[hihou]

Then what does it make me?

[hihou]

How do you know?

[hihou]

No... I'm different. I've always been different. I'm supposed to be able to do more.

[hihou]

I'm not sure what you mean.

[hihou]

I'm not sure...

[shanghaiworld]

Are you really that out of it, to question this kind of gesture?

[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...

Don't say that, Sanae! [ Some people might be tired and listless, but Subaru seems to have energy to spare. Her eyes are bright... too bright, really. ]

[hihou]

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

[hihou]

Will it really change anything?

[hihou]

It's the truth... I'm useless like this. Just a burden.

[shanghaiworld]

And just what would you want changed?

[reverentresistance]

Sometimes the most we can do is try, and keep trying.

[The door suddenly flies open and there stands Reimu, looking like her always annoyed self.]

Ok, that's it. I am not going to let you stay here and mop any longer!

[undefines]

You have worth as a person. You deserve to be happy.

[hihou]

...

The last person who told me that wound up hating me because I held her back...

[hihou]

I'd still be useless.

[hihou]

I shouldn't need to just 'try'. I'm a living avatar of divinity. I should be different. Be better than this...
