Sayaka Maizono

(Oh that's true too. Same here tbh. No clue if it's lack of muse or what.)

(I honestly don't know, I haven't been on Sayaka in a while tbh. I imagine part of the resurgence last year was because of Hundred Line?)

Is it eating away at her? She didn't really see Ellie as a social butterfly.

But yes, hug.

An empty void? Hug then!

Not all of them anyway. That's besides the point though. She wants to get Ellie to come out of her shell a bit. She's seen the looks her friend gives her.

Then a date to the mall then!

A date?

"Ehhh...but then that's just telling me that I'm all sweaty and gross, and I don't like that either."

"It's way too cold out now."

"I haven't been to a normal clothing store in a while. Mine doesn't have straps I think?"

She's starting to give up teasing Eleanor now. The mood's not correct for it.

"I'll bet they're for bedroom stuff too."

"Boo. I'm trying to be seductive you know, you could play along~"

She does let out a small giggle though.

"Ok, those ones are probably more sexy though. I'll bet mine shows more skin though. It shows off my back."

"...well..."

Stepping juuust a tiny bit closer with a mischievous smile.

"The skirt rests a couple of inches above my knees...and it's got a fur trim at the bottom."

"Ellie, it's not like it's something I can take out in public!"

She wouldn't be putting it on before December anyway. Christmas always came too early for Sayaka's tastes anyway, especially with the photo shoots she used to do.

"...I do have a Santa Dress..."

"You might be right but...I'm still worried. I still feel awful."

"I don't think I can bear to ask if I'm on the Nice list..."

(Happy Birfday!)

"Just like you shouldn't be hard on yourself for being manipulated by her."

"I know...but I can see that you want to change for the better...and besides, I'm guilty of trying to kill someone so I'm no better."

She definitely strikes a different sort of pretty than Sayaka does. An elegant sort, she'd say.

"I don't think that's for you to decide."

She lets go of Mukuro, smiling softly at her.

"I forgive you, and want to support you."

"Good..."

Sayaka loosens her grip on Mukuro. Despite everything, she still cares.

"...but if you ever need help to continue going, I'll help you however I can."

(I swear I'll get back to writing in full, been traveling the past few days and before that I had low muse all around-)

It just seemed like Mukuro could use one. Whether it was stress building up, or someone to give her a hand in fending off the Despair, she wasn't sure. She kept her hold on her though.

"...you'll stay strong, right? Like the soldier I know you are?"

[NC]

"Hey, don't do that, I'll die again. No one will be able to write me back to life!"

"Well I can't really be picky about it, can I? And I think I could do worse than you, Mia. You've already been kind to me."

"I suppose...and maybe I have a friend now too...?"

"...w-well...a foundation yes..."

"Still...I can't imagine it was easy to bear. It was tough for me, I just couldn't handle not being there for my group and...well...now I'm all alone."

"R-really? You've gone through two? That must have been tough..."
