The girl moved... and Maru watched her, not sure what she was planning...
But then she bowed. On the bed. Head down. Apologising.
It was... awkward. Maru wasn't sure what to say or do. Maybe the old him would have walked away because it was just that awkward. But he'd learned. Mahiru had taught him enough. So instead of walking away he just looked away and lightly scratched at his cheek.
"... Technically I do. Now. You named me. At least for the next 24 hours... Then I won't be Maru anymore." That was simple enough, right? He sounded tired and bored with the whole thing, but even though he was looking away he kept shooting little glances to Madoka, waiting for her to stop being so weird.
"You... don't have to do that. Be sorry... You didn't know." It had happened the same way with Mahiru. He'd just not explained himself in time. Though in this instance he'd been so weak and tired he hadn't realised what was going on until it was too late.
