>>6188644I-I'm a Magical Girl. I'm a goddamn Magical Girl! Fighting monsters, destroying evil and most important of all… Burning incandescently like a violent shooting star as I pummel them into tiny bits?! Ha! So that pallid muppet is just my magical mascot?! Kyubey, what an odd name. Not cute at all. He’s been awfully absent… But that’s what I’ve got Marisa for right now! One day you’re just casually stretching by your patio and then your life is suddenly overturned in a chance meeti- W-Wait! Chance? No-no-no-NO!! Both Sailor Queen, SeCure White AND SeCure Black were chosen because of their fortitude, empathy and ability to do good deeds! D-Does… Does that mean I’m a special girl, like the heroines from my anime? A-Am I really more important than my peers? …Is that right? HAH!! I always, ALWAYS, knew that! I knew I always had the potential to be different from them and I’ve finally gotten confirmation that it’s true!
“I’ve become involved in a world that I’m more than glad to be in, Marisa! I may not know a whole lot about it… But trust me, I’m more than ready to prove my worth! Who cares if I’m ‘cursed’?! Who cares if I have to face that gut-wrenching spire of despair on a random Tuesday?! Who cares if I have to tread through labyrinths that want to gobble me right up?! From now on I’m a bonafide Magical Girl! Plus… I’ve got you here to act as my mentor… He-he-he-he~! Don’t try and deny it! You looove it.”
I’m surprisingly taking things in stride.
“H-Hey, Marisa! Before I forget and you stuff me away in that basement of yours (please don’t) …Uhm…What was that about impurity? It’s awfully specific wording. I can manage my ‘Grief’ just fine, don’t you worry, I haven’t cried at all since I was a babe. But you’re saying that witches are concentrated forms of ‘Grief’? And… Impurities are born in our Soul Gems..? O-Oh… Don’t tell me that they’re Magical Girls that have turned to Evil’s side allowing their Soul Gems to be consumed! That'd be completely unforgivable!!”
Why did her line of thought lead her that way? Huh? She didn’t mean to jump to that assumption so why-?! Oh. That annoying sixth sense is leading her like a fiddle.
“...Oh. And come on! You know that what you said before is idle prattling with me. Of course I want to learn those runes! Most Magical Girls wouldn’t even bother, so imagine if they stumbled upon a translator fluent in the language - They’d have to rely on her, totesies! …And I guess it’d also help us fight and understand witches better, but that’s just an afterthought.”
And it’s time for Alba to follow her down into the totally non-suspicious basement. Alba trusts her, and sometimes, just sometimes, she gets her hat dirty on purpose to get an excuse to see her. Not like she’d ever truly admit it to herself - and god forbid - Marisa.
