Until we meet again in Kamogawa.

1.

[Shortly after the battle Midori is brought back to Novumundus instead of the Chalice. The Voxes were sort of their property after all. It doesn't take them long to get Madoka out. She didn't look that sad, though she didn't seem particularly happy either. Her mind was still trying to process everything that happened.  Muginami leaving, Lan's big brother showing up, Midori suddenly just stopping., Youko almost dying. Oh and the fact that she caused the deaths of hundreds of people and very nearly killed Mad and Pit. That realization just got her down a tiny bit.

She's currently just chugging down bottle after bottle of energy. Talk to her? Stop her from imploding her heart?]

2. [Dated to sometime after Lan leaves but sometime before the Chalice leaves Kamogawa]

Sooo I've been thinking some things over and...I've decided that I'm going to stay here with Kamogawa and Novumundus.

[Yeah, there will be none of that. Yui goes for a backhand, right on Madoka's face.]

Don't you joke about this. What you did...what you almost did to Mad...That's not something I can really...keep my emotions in check about.

[kamogawa_maru]

[Madoka just takes it without retaliation.]

Yui, I know alright, I know. Maddy wasn't the only one out there that I care about.

[gamenojikan]

[aaaand now she's flipping out a switchblade! Totally normal times ahead.]

But she's the only one I care about.

So I'd appreciate it...if you showed a little...more restraint...

[Yui starts holding her head with the other hand. Somebody's having trouble.]

[kamogawa_maru]

[Alright, that was new. Time for defensive posturing.]

Yui, don't do this.

[gamenojikan]

[Aaaah and now she's smiling. Still got that hand on her head, but Yui doesn't move anywhere-it's like she's straining against some pressure, either to charge forward or hold back.]

Ah...and why not? You almost destroyed my entire life, you know! And if this...happens again...

[Finally, she drops the knife, and takes two steps back-first one, then the other. There's still the sound of her strained breathing going through the hallway.]

Gah...not...yet...not...this time...

[kamogawa_maru]

[Well there was the fact that you were in the middle of the Novumundus base threatening to kill one of there pilots. Of course Madoka wasn't going to say that out loud.]

Wait, Yui!

[Only Madoka would chase after her still.]

[gamenojikan]

[Yui can be found in some random corner in the depths of Novomundus, sitting on the ground and hugging her knees to her chest.]

[kamogawa_maru]

[Well against COMMON SENSE, Madoka sat down next to Yui once she found her.]

...I know that the two of us have had very different lives, and you might not believe me but...I can understand what you're feeling right now.

A long time ago, I lost someone that I loved and it broke me.

[Madoka gets on her knees and bows over next to Yui.]

I almost did that to both you and myself again. For that...I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry.

We all go a little mad sometimes

[gamenojikan]

That's...

...That's fine.

[And the cool Yui you all know is back.]

I just...lost control, for a bit there. Just...make sure it doesn't happen for real.
