Miscellaneous realization: It's actually a good thing MikiMom's factory exploded just then.

Gave Sayaka something to take her mind off Kyosuke.

Only because social situations are a subset of situations in general. To qoute what I think is Schlock Mercenary: "The number of problems a bomb can't solve is inversely proportional to it's blast radius."

Only if it's bluegreenviolin.

Which isn't an option anymore. I just think it's hilarious when Hitomi likes Sayaka, because that makes Sayaka's death even more ironic.
 
Gotta feel bad for Hitomi.

In addition to the boy drama, her two best, and quite possibly only friends besides Kwijibo suddenly start drifting away from her, hanging out with new people and seemingly excluding her, and they won't even tell her why and get cagey whenever it's brought up. Sure, even if they knew she was always busy, they at least invited her, but now they don't even bother.

Honestly, I think her "Girls can't love girls!" running gag was partially teasing and joking, partially hoping it was true so that she wouldn't have to possibly choose between her best friend and her crush, and partially terror that she's drifting apart from the only friends she has, and she's covering up her fear by making silly excuses.

And then, when she finally does start dating Squeegeeboard, she can't enjoy it. Her best friend's dead by that point, and she will probably feel very much responsible for it, even if she knows that's not the case.

If they get together and are somehow still together after Sayaka's death, the guilt will probably tear their relationship apart.

...

Man, this series comes up with new and creative ways of being a fucking downer.

Not really, since the same thing ends up happening in one of the endings of School Days. Well, not the exact same thing of course. But the end result is.

...And Putting Them Back Together Again. [112]

    • OOC: Oh, he did? Huh. I only remember one moment from a long ass fuckin' time ago.

    [X] Talk to...
    -[X] Hitomi.
    [X] About...
    -[X] Kamijou

    "...You have a crush on him, right?" You move aside to Hitomi. "Looks like you have a chance now, huh?"

    She nods slowly. "I...yes. I do." She says.

    "You don't sound too sure 'bout yourself." You say. "You're pretty! I'm pretty sure he'll give you a shot!" You grin at her like a moron, but just saying this hurts a little.

    She just sighs with a blush. "I know I do." She says to you. "But-"

    "Hey, don't be modest." You wrap an arm around her shoulder. "Should be fine!"

    She nods at you. "Thanks, Sayaka."

    [X] Talk idly to...
    -[X] Everyone

    So you do. You start talking about stupid stuff with Hitomi, Madoka, and your mom, starting with the movie you watched last night and ending at a discussion on the ethics of cyborg pigeons.

    "Well, I think it'd be pretty damn cool!" Your mom says. "I mean, robo-pigeons!"

    "Yes, but isn't that against their will?" Madoka says. "I mean...pigeons can't give consent to these kinds of things."

    "But still. ROBOT PIGEONS." Your mom crosses her arms. "Sure you'd have to deal with a few things in order to make them not die, but still. It's friggin' awesome!"

    Just as she says that, the door swings open. You all turn to look and, just as you do, Junko Kaname comes in, finger raised, arm straight, and eyes half-asleep. "Awesome, maybe, but what about the consent and the...wait what are you talking about?"

    "Mom!" Madoka shouts.

    "Hi, Madoka." She says with a smile. "Today wasn't quite as hard, but..." She notices your mom. "Oh! Miho!"

    "Junko." Your mom grins. They both walk to each other slowly, both of them glaring. "I see that business is good?"

    "Of course. How about yours?"

    "It exploded."

    "In popularity?"

    "Literally."

    "Oh." Junko frowns. "That's unfortunate. I guess you're just shit out of luck?"

    "Maybe." Your mom doesn't cry at that. "How're the miserable fucks at your job?"

    "You just said it. Miserable and fucks." Junko smirks. "So I see engineering is carrying you well?"

    "How about running a company that's more often than not incompetent?"

    They both seem to glare at each other...before they laugh riotously and give each other a huge hug. "It's good to see you!"

    "I know! It's like we barely even see each other!" Your mom wipes a tear. "Oh, man..."

    "...So is it true? Did it actually burn down?"

    "I wasn't joking when I said it exploded." She says.

    Junko gasps. "You weren't? That's horrible! Don't tell me you're..."

    "I'm out of a job, yeah." Your mom says, sheepishly.

    Junko frowns. "Oh, fuck that. I'm gonna find you one as soon as possible. Should be an open position." She rushes off, and your mom just sighs.

    "...She's a lot busier than I remember her being."

    "It's gotten more hectic over the past year." Madoka says. "She got promoted."

    "Hm." Your mom nods. "Why the hell isn't she the boss yet? I mean he-"

    "You can swear." Madoka says, flatly. "I don't know. I actually don't know how it works that well...you can ask her later, though."

    See? Good feels get you nowhere. It's got to be trauma all the way.

    I told you, I told you about feels bro! I warned you dog!
     
    We should probably head to meet up with Kyouko soon. We can probably afford to stay for a bit longer, though.

    Wow. Madoka, Miho and Junko are weirdly synchronized*. Madoka and Junko say the same thing in response to Miho's wild idea. Junko even manages to get the same answer without fully knowing the context!

    I wonder how Sayaka and Junko interact?

    *Not quite the right word, but...
    "Junko." Your mom grins. They both walk to each other slowly, both of them glaring. "I see that business is good?"

    "Of course. How about yours?"

    "It exploded."

    "In popularity?"

    "Literally."
