And now Emma is mumbling.
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Oh, nonono…</span>
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Stomach ache? Bathroom’s down there, the toilet even sings.</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">No, it’s just-</span>
Emma is looking at a pink-haired girl through the eyes of Erika Kruppman… who doesn’t have a care in the world anymore. Both she and Jimena Gimenez, two of the Magical Girls linked to her through the Relay, have been taken in by none other than one of the Faction Leaders of the Order of the End, Hush.
Erika Kruppman knows all there is to know.
Emma shivers visibly. No. Not now, she thinks. I need this moment for myself. But... But...
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Hey, I can take you there if you want to. Don’t suffer in silence.</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">No, no, it’s not that it’s just-</span>
Emma deflates, as if defeated.
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Remember what I told you right before we got here? About their plan?</span>
Angel does her thing.
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Who’s plans? The Order’s?</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">I have these… voices inside my head. There is this thing… um, Angel, haven’t you also been connected to other Magical Girls? Through the Magical Relay?</span>
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">No?</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">I have my mind connected to that of other… other Magical Girls. We see what the others see, we know what the others think… it’s like we became a single person but with many bodies scattered all over. Although, we can’t control each other, so scratch that</span>
Angel winces as if a dog had bitten her little finger.
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Jesus fucking Christ that sounds terrible. Ehm… let me see if I get this straight. You and other girls are sharing brains?</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Um- pretty much.</span>
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Why?</span>
Now Emma understands completely.
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Because, if the Order ever brainwashed any of us, we’d know where they are and what they are going to do.</span>
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">That’s weird as fuck, not gonna lie.</span>
Yet Angel curls her lips, suddenly looking up as if inspiration stuck her like thunder.
<span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Can I share brains with you too?</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">Absolutely fucking not.</span>
Said with a straight face and a straight smile, with not a second of hesitation. Angel is left blinking.
