Thursday morning. On the way to school.
Instead of a proud chuckle, I thought Sayaka flashing Madoka the signature
genki girl grin combined with a wink would have been more natural here. (And it just looks so good and natural on her
)
Meeting later in Mami's apartment. Sounds like a plan.
Sharing ice cream together, that's a very nice idea. However, the large ice cream cone in the pic is, I believe, in fact a
Japanese-style Strawberry Crêpe... Either way, mmm... delicious.
Truthfully, I'm still feeling ambiguous on Sayaka's total disregard of privacy during the latter part of their date. It bothers me that she is allowing total strangers to take pictures of them like that, which strikes me as rather shameless behavior, unbecoming of someone who holds knightly ideals like her. I would've thought Sayaka would rather first confront and chase away the voyeurs to protect Madoka's and her own privacy before continuing their interrupted act of affection.
In contrast to the twin-tailed two-timer on the other side of the border, our Madoka here is markedly much more pure/innocent, given her reactions to Sayaka's suggestions on sharing sweets and her surprisingly sudden, shameless style of seduction.
So, we meet Emperor Jinnai again. Well, I just hope this heel Outsider's invasion of this storyline is indeed brief, because of the risk that this chain could come to mirror some of what happened in his original timeline, the Sayaka/Homura Alliance chain. Unless that was the original intention. I also sense that somebody is going to be forced to make a contract soon...
Anyway, that's it for now. Despite a few objections, I enjoyed reading it.
