[ It wasn't difficult to suddenly notice that a presence was missing. Even if Yui was still there in their apartment, Homura was.. well, she wasn't anywhere nearby, and when Madoka tries to contact her through the journals there isn't any answer either. She doesn't get any definite answer until she finds the card, really. Homura wouldn't just leave that behind randomly, so.. that means..
She's gone. And-- well, someone has to tell everyone, and she considers asking Yui to do it but she doesn't want to shove a task like that on the other girl, so instead she opens her journal to speak up. Text feels too impersonal, and she can manage to keep her voice steady. It's better this way. Homura had something to do still back home, right? It's better for her to not be here, right? So.. ]
Um.. S-sorry to bother you, everyone, but for those of you who knew Homura-chan.. Homura Akemi, that is.. She was sent back home. I'm sure she's sorry that she couldn't say goodbye to everyone, but at least you all know now, right..? [ There's a giggle, but it's a little weak.
And it seems she meant to close her journal now, but instead it seems she forgets, since there's the sound of footsteps walking a little before there's faintly a song in the distance that Madoka is singing to herself, - the one from last time. It's a little weaker this time, and her voice shakes a bit too, but she still sings, as if it's an effort to cheer herself up, too. ]
Saying, 'see you later,' I wave my hand.. Forcing myself to smile, yet I'm feeling lonely...

action;
Have you been okay too lately, Kyon-san..? Nothing bad has happened? S-sorry for not asking earlier.
action;
I've been hiding out since Valentine's Day. That's about it.
action;
ShinjiKyon? Her cheeks are definitely lighting up a little there. ]V-Valentine's Day, is it..? Then.. y-you've probably been alright on that day, right? Nothing.. strange happened at all?
action;
['By which I mean both "yes" and "it really started the day before."'
He raises an eyebrow.]
Seems like something strange happened to you, Kaname?
action;
W-- well, there was an experiment, you know that much, right? And.. I-I got influenced by it as well, y-you see.
action;
...I see.
It wasn't another girl, was it?
['Because, seriously, after Haruhi and Asahina-san, I have to know if there's something in the water.']
action;
N.. no, it wasn't a girl! It was Ayumu-sa-- [ ... oh.. crap.. she said it-- SHUTTING HER MOUTH SO QUICKLY and just.. well, blushing, since the whole deal was embarassing and now she outted him.. ]
action;
['Ayumu-san is a girl. Unless she's talking about...']
...Aikawa?
['Seriously, zombies and Valentine's Day? What is this, Hollywood?']
action;
Ayumu Aikawa, yes.. Um, are the two of you friends, maybe..?
action;
['Sorry, Kaname, but you were involved with a zombie? Sounds like a mid-life crisis.
Whether for you or the zombie, I'm not sure... well, a zombie can hardly have a mid-life crisis, though.']
That...
['Wait, Haruhi's idea for avoiding Valentine's was for me to go on a trip with him instead?! I thought that meant he'd be immune!']
...is... surprising, Kaname.
action;
... S-surprising? How.. so, if it's okay for me to ask..?
action;
...I didn't... really think that he would be affected. Being what he is. Unless... he wasn't.
['In which case, I feel sorrier still for you, Kaname.']
action;
[ yeah, she doesn't know about the whole zombie thing yet, welp. ]
There's nothing special about Ayumu-san, is there?
action;
action;
But he was keeping out of the sun, right? That seems like something zombies might do and she knows Kyon wouldn't lie - or at least think so - so that means Ayumu really is a zombie.
... Her first kiss was with a zombie.
Better never tell Sayaka about that.]K-.. Kyon-san.. You don't think that's something strange at all..? [ considering how she's mentally freaking out here and he seems.. well, calm. ]
action;
But I suppose that has its benefits for you, Kaname. You can just say it doesn't count since it was with a zombie... whatever happened.
action;
He's still a person, after all. And nice as well.
action;
['Except a little creepy.']
action;
[ at least it's away from the topic of them and the experiment, that's good. ]
action;
Does that mean you're going to continue the relationship?
action;
N-- no, I meant-- accept him as a friend, of course! A-Ayumu-san is a nice person, but.. [ she's struggling for words. ] ... well, I-I'm sure you understand, Kyon-san..
action;
You mean you're just not interested in dating?
['It's just as well. Kaname is a bit more like a ten-year-old than a fourteen-year-old, in some ways.']
action;
action;
Well, that all makes sense, Kaname.
action;
I knew you'd understand. Thank you for listening to me about.. well, everything..
