Hello everyone! [Have a little cheerful Madoka waving shyly into the camera. Her smile is sugary and her intents are even sweeter.] I just wanted to formally introduce myself. Though I'm not much, haha.

My name is Madoka Kaname and it's a pleasure to meet all of you. I'm new here, and, [She sounds a little reluctant, and blushes in embarrassement.]I'm thinking that friends would be a nice thing.

If you ever need to talk to someone, or have any problems that you need help with, or if you need someone to just accompany you, please don't be afraid to contact me.

[She closes her eyes and put a hand to her chest, and smiles softly. Then opens them, and her smile comes back ten times more radiant.]

Thank you for watching!

Gue'la? [She is perplexed.]

Ah, but I'm glad you contacted me! I know we just met, and you haven't been here that long either, but.

Shinonome-san, did you want to be friends?

[voice]

[hope_adjacent]

You just got here as well? It's nice to know people are settling just like I am. [Her tone is light, happy. Oh boy, more people!]

It's nice to meet you!

[hope_adjacent]

Cheerful, happy. I have a lot of things to be thankful for, so I can't think of being anything but those emotions!

"Given how we were just pulled here I can understand being on edge."

Homura-chan has been through a lot of pain.

Which is why I'm glad we're away from where we are. She can finally relax now.

Ah, I'm sorry if I'm bothering you with all this!

[electricyousei]

"No, its no bother. I don't have much to do. And pain? Some sort of war?"

[greyerrant]

I see. I am glad of that.

[ He seems a bit less cheerful himself, as though weighted with something. ]

[hope_adjacent]

And I'm sure, if you're not happy, things will get better.

When you're at the bottom, there's no way but up!

[Her face visibly saddens.]

It just had . . . a lot of suffering. It wasn't a war normal people could see. Girls taking on tasks for the sake of profit, and in the end, despairing into oblivion. It was a cruel, horrible place.

Homura-chan suffered so much from it. She's here now, but. I hope she doesn't have to go through that again, especially not for my sake.

Human. That is our word for human.

[voice]

[aworldwithoutyou]

Yeah, it's good to know that I'm not the only new person in town. [Or, at least, that the new people aren't just from his world.] I'm not used to having to settle in when I go somewhere, so this is kind of strange for me!

[all_wound_up]

I'd like that very much!

[universebeware]

Nobody's that overbearingly nice without either wanting something, or being up to something. So what are you after?

[greyerrant]

[ Garviel considers this, and shakes his head. ]

My happiness is immaterial. There is a job to be done.

Not all humans stop happiness. Some humans aim for it.

Some may be a little conflicted, or off the road but it doesn't mean they don't mean the best for everyone. That's being selfish though.

It's not a bad thing to wish happiness for others though.

[She's so surprised by the enthusiasm and laughs happily!]

That's great! I figured having friends would be better than no friends so!

[Video]

[hope_adjacent]

I want people to be happy. I want people to feel they are worth it, and that they're struggles have not been in vein.

I don't want anymore suffering. If I can do at least this for other people, then I'd be satisfied.

[voice]

[hope_adjacent]

If you don't mind me asking, what is your world like? From where you've come from?

It's odd because I've met three other people from different worlds and it's so great this city is diverse.

[hope_adjacent]

[That sentence reminded her of her friend, and she passionately replied.]

Your happiness is important! Even when you may have something you need to do, your happiness is a treasured thing and it's not something useless!

Video

[all_wound_up]

Yes, friends are wonderful!

[Nano had only just made her first friends back home before coming here, and now it seems like she has so many. She's absolutely thrilled at the prospect.]

Re: Video

[hope_adjacent]

[Why is she precious squishes her cheeks ee.]

Where do you come from?

[greatergone]

...I don't understand at all.

[This cultural stuff is confusing.]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Do you have someone like that back at home?

[hope_adjacent]

I did! [She seems pained though.] I even had a bond like that without knowing I did.
