"You would think that she would be just as willing as us to go toe to toe with the Walpurgisnacht, but she just vanished to some place. "It is," Kyouko agreed, cocking her head to the side with a troubled face. "She seems to have gone missing completely. "Have you seen Homura around?" Sayaka took the potato chip Kyouko offered to her, watching the red-haired girl's thoughtful face. Sayaka had joined them after some hesitation, since she didn't quite know what to make of it yet. She was the one refusing to give in already, and thus, the others were siding with her. It was a scary thought, but then Madoka had spoken out against Kyuubey. The incubator had claimed that they would, at some point, become witches themselves. It was hard work, being a magical girl, especially with the knowledge finally revealed to them by Kyuubey. They were fruity and very sweet, filling her with a sense of joy. Sayaka nodded, chewing on some of the gums already. "Besides, Madoka and Mami were so caught up in their hunting that we barely got to talk to them, right?" She gave Sayaka a brief smile, then offered her a pack of colorful gums. She was chewing on some potato chips, as always having something to eat with her. "I had a Seed to spare," Kyouko shrugged, sitting down on the edge of Sayaka's bed. And that was something to be worried about. The many witches were announcing the Walpurgisnacht, the most powerful of all of the Witches. But ever since Kyuubey had revealed the truth behind the soul gems, and how Witches were born, the magical girls were sticking together more tightly, holding onto each other to get through the days and nights. Sayaka felt better immediately after the Grief Seed had absorbed all of the pain and sorrow she had been through in the past few days, and she couldn't help smiling at the other girl, whom she usually had regarded as a concurrent. The red-haired girl didn't reply right away, but Sayaka saw how Kyouko was holding a Grief Seed close to her soul gem, drawing the darkness out of it. Then, however, some of the pain she had been experiencing lately began to fade, and that was what made her blink awake. She didn't want to wake up, even if it was smelling like there was food close by. In the past few days, she had been fighting witches like crazy, and she barely had been getting any rest. She grumbled something, not wanting to wake up yet. Sayaka twitched lightly when a warm hand touched her forehead.
