So I felt I should have a Sayaka romance route on the "Mami Lives" side as well. Especially since many Sayaka fans reading this managed to save Mami.

That being said, I think Sayaka only gets up "the nerve" to confess if Madoka has been extra nice to her lately (i.e. accumulating affection points), so yeah, I think it's understandable for Madoka to end up clueless as to Sayaka's feelings for her if you don't get enough affection points.

Really should've responded to this sooner.

Spoiler for Why are we using spoiler tags, again?:

Well, I did say that I understood the reason behind Madoka not realizing things.

Also, I'm guessing the reason a lot of Sayaka fans saved Mami would be that they like both. At the very least, that was my reason for it... which is probably what led to me feeling guilty over my choices pertaining to the relationships with the two in MF/SR. Which, in hindsight, really is kinda dumb of me.
