[No—no, no, no, no. She remembers Monoko, too, but she has pushed it away and pushed her way through it like she always did, but she should have known that it would have been worse for Madotsuki. No, he had, but she hadn't done enough for her—she was sempai, wasn't she, didn't she owe her protegee more than that?]

M-Mado, please... [Her voice is softer now, and she is as gentle as she can be. She didn't know the Nexus well enough to see where that assumption came from, but can she blame Madotsuki for trying? That was hope, that might have been her only hope, and it's gone.] You don't have to be a witch, okay? We're strong enough. There are enough grief seeds. Please, just...just come down. It—it's going to be okay.
