[ Madoka sounds a little bit unsure when the message starts - perhaps even more unsure than unusual. There's even a slight silence at first, as if she isn't sure how to start about this. But then after those few moments she does speak up, although a bit slowly and hesitantly. ]

... Um.. Sorry to ask this, but I was wondering if anyone has seen Homura-chan around. A-ah, that would be Homura Akemi. For those of you who don't know her, she's about my age, and she has really long black hair and dark purple-like eyes.

[ She takes a deep breath. ]

Y.. you see, I wasn't able to find her anywhere this morning, so I thought she might have gone out on her own.. But since she didn't tell me anything, I looked across the village to make sure, but.. [ her tone drops a little. ] I couldn't find her anywhere by myself..

So I'm sorry to bother all of you with this, but if you've seen her around, then.. please tell me. I would be really grateful, so.. hmm, thank you.

Seriously? Then she's made other friends here besides you, right? Surely...

[Voice]

[happyends]

[ ... oh, yes, this is awkward.. ]

I.. I'm not sure, but.. I think she must have.. I mean, anyone would want to be friends with Homura-chan, right? [ dream on, Madoka.. ] She's really, really cool!

[Voice]

[kamiyandisease.livejournal.com]

Ummm... As cool as she is, I don't think Homu Dawg is the type to be a team player.

[Voice]

[happyends]

H-Homu Dawg..?!

I know Homura-chan is usually on her own, but.. she's actually really friendly too. [ although 'friendly' is relative (aka mostly just to Madoka), and Madoka is an optimist. ]

[Voice]

[kamiyandisease.livejournal.com]

Well... I guess she's friendly towards people in her own way, but there's still always that feeling of distance, you know? It's impossible for someone to keep people at arm's length forever.

[Voice]

[happyends]

Ah, I suppose you're right.. Homura-chan does give off a bit of a feeling that she's hard to approach, huh?

[ even Madoka can't deny that much. ]

But I think that's maybe just the way she is..

[Voice]

[kamiyandisease.livejournal.com]

... I guess so. Maybe she'll learn how to open up to other people, eventually. Whenever I talked with her last time, it seemed that she was heading in that direction.

[Voice]

[happyends]

If that could happen, I would be really glad.. After all, she deserves to have friends as well. Maybe you could become good friends with her too, ehehe.

[Voice]

[kamiyandisease.livejournal.com]

I hope so! Maybe I can help give her a sense of humor, too!

[Voice]

[happyends]

[ Homura with a sense of humor.. ]

Are you good at that, then? [ LET'S JUST VIEW IT OPTIMISTICALLY. ]

[Voice]

[kamiyandisease.livejournal.com]

Yup! I'm sure if I work hard enough, I'll be able to strike a Homu run.

[... Yeaaaaah, no. Good luck with that, Touma.]

[Voice]

[happyends]

[ ... There's a pause. And then she starts giggling. ]

Homu run.. That one is a little funny.
