Those reactions, those tasty feelings; you can't help wanting more of that, it's what you are. To tease her further (as much as you can, really), you aim your shot and ask cute little Sana-chan to which Prince Charming the bus is gonna take her. As expected, this short-circuits the Sana; but it’s you who ends up amazed when her features are quick to lighten up. Because, again, she giggles. Like when she was in that fantasy happy land inside her head.
λ Sana: I wonder if that would work.
Talking so fast, you asked something obvious. Love is often tarnished by mixed wants and desires, like money, status, or loneliness; Sana had found the cleanest one yet. She lost it, and too soon. Everyone who knows her knows that has to live missing it every day. You ask nothing more.
...
At least thinking again about Rumors, it’s only then that you even consider wondering:
λ Sana: …Kaname-san; maybe this Rumor doesn’t exist yet?
That’s a detail too heavy to omit, especially for an almighty Goddess. Shame, shame!! If Homura snuck that thing into this timeline back then, how much time did it have to manifest a Rumor? Enough? Is it barely getting started? Does the damn thing even cause Rumors with a capital 'R' in the first place?!
λ Sana: Nemu-chan was unique to the timeline I come from, so… I wonder why the resemblance is so strong.
Before you start spitting fatalist theories, before the Pink Kyubey crumbles under the weight of that ugly caveman stick- it rears its back, it rears closer, it’s a red bus turning a corner- in reverse!
λ Sana: Kaname-san! The Rumor…
…is a lot bigger than expected. It’s not just a bus; it’s like a red metal snake with clear segments with two floors. You feel so many things at once. One is relief. The other is anger. The final is a secret craving for pizza that upsets you even further. The red-bus-in-reverse stops right in front of Sana, its door folds open. Inside, sitting on the bus driver’s seat, is a normal bus driver like any other. Green words float around him; green words float around the long red bus.
You remember that the Uwasas, the monsters in charge of stopping anyone rendering their rumor false, can be exposed by going against their rules. Destroying them, at least before, destroyed the Rumor itself.
Then you notice that there's people already inside the buses-
-then you remember the fare.
>Step into the long red bus.
>Go against the Rumor.
