[ From the moment the recording starts it's fairly obvious that there's a high degree of awkwardness here - it's easily readable from her expression (even if she's trying to put on a tiny smile as well), if not just from her tone. ]

Um.. I think I have to thank you for making me able to see this place and be here for a while, and.. p-please don't get me wrong, it seems like a really nice place! And these wings are even sort of cute too, so that's not the problem at all. It's just.. you see, if I don't get home in time for dinner I'm sure Mama and Papa will get really worried - especially Mama, if I wouldn't be home she wouldn't be happy at all and would probably throw a big fuss - and..

Sayaka-chan..

[ Her voice trails off as she seems to think of something and her mood dims instantly. The awkwardness that was in her tone earlier disappears and seems to be replaced by something a little more.. sad, perhaps, a softer tone. ]

So.. would it be okay for me to go back home, maybe..? To be honest, I'm not really sure why you picked me of all people to go here in the first place. I think I can't really do anything special like most people here probably can, so it would be okay for me to leave.. right?

[ A bit later one might find a young pink-haired girl sitting near the fountain, still wearing the sundress. She still looks quite lost and unsure and doesn't seem to understand everything just yet, but she seems to be distracting herself from her current situation for now by scribbling little drawings on her journal. Approach her? ]

That.. can't be..

Mami-san probably doesn't know, since it happened later.. [ a w k w a r d ] But Homura-chan has really helped me out a few times! And she has even helped Sayaka-chan a few times as well when the situation was really bad. I can't see her as an enemy at all..

You're too trusting, Kaname-san.

Though it's true that many things must have happened, what that girls real motives and desires are... do you know those things? She may help you when it suits her interests, but that's all. [Mami would know since she's the same ._.] But I'll take your word for it that she has helped you... that deserves some thanks, at least.

[ She goes silent for the slightest moment, and then shakes her head - perhaps even slightly sadly. ]

You're right, I don't really know what Homura-chan is thinking. But.. I somehow want to trust her.. She doesn't seem like she's a really bad person. [ She pauses again, almost contemplating. ] ... I'm sorry, Mami-san. I didn't want to make things so hard on you immediately after arriving here.

Trusting someone blindly is foolish. [her tone is harsh as she says it, though it shifts back to her normal demeanor rather quickly.]

Mm? No, you haven't made things hard on me at all. If anything, your presence is comforting. It makes things easier.
