>Ask Angel why she thinks she wasn’t made part of the relay.
After a while, both felt comfortable enough to share the silence. Emma nibbled at her burger, absent-mindedly for once. Part of the Emma inside of her had always chided her for eating meat- after all, it was once an animal, living and breathing. She even practiced being a vegetarian for a while- until she realized the truth of the Witches.
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Um- Angel?</span>
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Yup?</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Did you use your power to be away from town last night? Or this morning?</span>
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Nope.</span>
Angel takes another big bite off the wrapped dead animal she didn’t have to hunt, enjoying every second of it.
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">I wonder if Magical Girls can get fat.</span>
But Emma isn’t eating hers anymore.
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Angel, why did you think you weren’t made part of the Magical Relay?</span>
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">I dunno?</span>
It’s like she didn’t hear her. Angel must be very interested in that burger.
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Why do you think that you aren’t connected to other Magical Girls like I am?</span>
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">I dunno. I still think it’s freaky that you are. Like, they can read your mind and all?</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Yes? Yes, that’s what it feels like.</span>
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">But like everything?</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">I think so?</span>
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Like when you take a shit?</span>
Emma’s jaw drops so hard that those old cartoons don’t seem so silly anymore. Even Angel seems concerned for the first time.
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Dude, are you ok?</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Yeah?</span>
Yet her voice almost didn't come out. Regardless, Angel collectedly stands from the table as if she hadn’t just gained twice her weight in burger bread alone.
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Let’s go.</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Huh? What? Wait!</span>
Emma is still shell-shocked when Angel walks out of the room. Of course, her not-twin-sister then peeks from the corner of the exit- before dashing away like before.
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Come on! Again?</span>
Thankfully, Emma didn’t eat that much.
