[revelation]

I'm scared. I'm scared that she will hate me, but more than that- I'm scared she'll hate herself.

[ a hiccup and Madoka hurriedly rubs at her eyes, but the question gives her pause and when she speaks the confusion is clear; ]

I-I know she's upset after seeing Mami-san earlier, so... I thought she might be training like she usually does. [ but, this phone call didn't come out of nowhere. there was a reason- ] Is... is she with you?

[precludes]

I imagine she idolizes you. I wonder what she'd think of your solution.

[Oriko sighs. There's no need to be evasive.] She's sleeping now.

Something happened with Mami Tomoe. [What? the statement asks, implicitly.]

[revelation]

[ idolize, huh? the thought just makes the whole situation hurt more but she tries to cover any sign of this by sighing. ]

As long as she's okay. [ and that's really all that mattered. ]

M-mm, did you know her too? [ she remembers seeing Mami from time to time at school in that timeline that ended with a witches' barrier appearing in their school but beyond that... she knew nothing of what happened to their mentor. ] But- ah, Sayaka-chan really looks up to Mami-san but she doesn't really... remember us.

[precludes]

You might say that.

I see. I presume that she encountered some trouble. [Dead, it seems, or something that passes for it.

It seems, really - and her tone implies it - that there's a lot Sayaka Miki doesn't know, the way one small lie can snowball into a mountain.]
