2nd wish: Be careful what you wish for [Written]

[deadlyribbons]

[Mami stares at the page for the longest time. She's been meaning to do this for days but... Even today she's still not sure it's such a good idea but since it's not something she could manage to talk about with her crew, even with Madoka and Homura then...]

I would like to ask all of you here a few questions.

The first one is: If you were given the opportunity to make one wish, one single wish, would it be about yourself or about someone else?

And the second one is: Did you ever regret wishing for something to happen once it had actually become true and it was too late for you to do anything about it?

I undestand those could be seen as very personal questions. So feel free to answer anonymously if you prefer.

Thank you very much in advance for your time.

[She sighs, re-reading what she's just written. Well all what's left for her to do now is wait.]

You sound like a very goodhearted and selfless person. [Mami had failed to protect the ones she loved when she had made that wish.]

[diamondlight]

I'm not so sure about that. I try to do what I can, but... I've pretty much devoted my life to one person, whether she's okay with it or not. She knows, but... I think I'm a little overbearing on her, sometimes, and she just doesn't tell me. So no, I don't think I'm the selfless person you're reading me as. I'm... just someone that couldn't stand to live without a certain person.

[deadlyribbons]

May I ask what makes that person so important to you? I realize it's a very personal question, so I would understand if you preferred not to answer.

She is... [There are dots on the page where Rikka takes a few seconds to think.] ...it's hard to express. She's been my friend for pretty much my whole life, and it feels like sometimes she knows me better than I do, and I know her like the back of my hand. I just don't ever want to know what it would feel like if I didn't have her. In the moment I had to make a decision, that was what went through my head. [Well, one of the few things, at least.]

[deadlyribbons]

Then I can only hope she knows how precious she is to you, and feels the same about you. [It'd be so sad otherwise.]

[diamondlight]

That's one of the few things I'm certain of anymore. [The writing is a little less neat, and a little faster.] She needs me, and I need her. I just feel so weird when she's not around.

I'm sorry, it sounds so cliché, but... it's how I feel.

[deadlyribbons]

Is she here, then?

[diamondlight]

Yes, she is, and I couldn't be more thankful. I think I'd be a wreck if she wasn't. [A pause.] Not that I'm not a wreck without her, sometimes, but she helps a lot.
