( Madoka’s expression grows quieter、though there’s confidence in her eyes。)
I know the world isn’t a playground 。。。 But I’m not as helpless as you think。
( She gives him a small、determined smile。)
I can protect myself。I just choose to care about others too。

《 Accelerator clicked his tongue, shifting his weight on his crutch. He looked at her like she was completely out of her mind. 》
That's a fast way to get yourself killed . There's no softness when idiots try to kill you everyday . The world isn't a playground .
ㅤ
( Madoka’s smile turns a little more serious、though she still looks gentle。)
Maybe I am a little curious .ᐟ But there’s no need to call me a brat。
( She pauses、then smiles softly。)
I just care about people。I can’t help worrying about everyone。
ㅤ
《 He let out a long, deeply defeated sigh, dropping his head back for a moment. He just couldn't win an argument against her piece. 》
. . . You're a nosy little brat , you know that . . . ?
ㅤ
@VampireKirika ( Madoka’s expression brightens at Kirika’s excitement、clearly happy for her。)
Hmh 。。。 You really care about her a lot、don’t you .ᐣ
( She tilts her head curiously。)
How did you two meet .ᐣ I’d love to hear about it。
( Madoka happens to glance to the side、only now noticing the girl sitting a little ways away。The familiar uniform catches her attention。)
( She tilts her head、quietly wondering how long she’s been there。)
Um .ᐣ I don’t think we’ve met before。
@madokaria *Maybe she’s already been noticed and she just doesn’t know it. There’s a girl sitting nearby Madoka, though still far enough that she wouldn’t recognize the girl was there unless she looked. She was wearing the same school uniform, along with black hair.*
( Madoka smiles a little、seeming much more at ease now。)
Alright、alright .ᐟ I believe you。
( She tilts her head、looking at him curiously。)
You really don’t like being misunderstood、do you .ᐣ

《 Accelerator choke on his own breath, his face tightening with an intense, irritated flesh. He aggressively looked away, crossing his arms tighter. 》
Tch ! S - Shut up ! I only noticed because your pathetic sighing was too damn loud m. Don't read into it !
ㅤ
( Madoka blinks at his words、her expression softening as she looks back at him。)
I’m okay 。。。 Really。
( She quietly sits back down、a faint smile returning。)
You say it’s annoying 。。。 but you still noticed、didn’t you .ᐣ
ㅤ
《 The heavy silence made him stop. He glanced back, his crimson eyes narrowing as he saw her faded smile. A sharp click of his tongue. 》
. . . Don't look like you're about to cry . It's annoying . Sit back down . The sun is too hot for you to walk alone anyway .
ㅤ
( Madoka’s smile falters、a quiet sadness hidden behind her expression。)
Maybe you’re right 。。。 We might never cross paths again。
( She looks away for a moment、as if holding back something she doesn’t want to say。)
Still、 I’m glad I got to meet you、Accelerator。
ㅤ
《 He rolled his eyes, a faint, annoyed click coming from his throat. The comparison to that other brat in his life was impossible to ignore now. 》
. . . Bold of you to assume that we'll cross paths again one day . . .
ㅤ
( Madoka’s eyes widen at his sudden reaction、then she laughs softly。)
I-I didn’t mean I’d follow you around .ᐟ
( She smiles a little、slightly amused now。)
I just meant I’d remind you if we happened to meet again。
ㅤ
❗️❗️
《 He instinctively looked away, a faint rush of heat hitting his cheeks as he aggressively clicked his tongue. 》
Tch ! Oh please , like hell I'll let you follow me around to " remind " me of anything ! Don't get ahead of yourself . I don't need a babysitter .
ㅤ
( Madoka’s serious expression softens、a small smile returning to her face。)
Hehe 。。。 Then I’ll remind you if you forget .ᐟ
( She gives him a warm smile。)
I’m glad you understand、Accelerator。
ㅤ
《 He stayed silent for a long moment, a conflicted look passing through his eyes before going back to his posture and letting out a defeated sigh. He clicked his tongue and looked away. 》
Tch . Fine , whatever . I have a bad memory anyways . . .
ㅤ
( Madoka’s expression softens、but she still looks serious。)
I understand 。。。 If that’s just how you are、I won’t judge you for it。
( She pauses、looking at him gently。)
But being kind doesn’t hurt。So please try to remember that、okay .ᐣ
ㅤ
《 He groaned, aggressively scratching his white hair as he looked away. Her words left him with no more comebacks, which irritated him even more. 》
Tch . Fine . I'm not being mean for no reason , I'm just always like this . Whatever . Stop making that face . . .
