Sayaka-chan... I...

Eh? What's wrong Madoka?

...My high school rank dropped...

If I'm separated from you... I'll be lonely...

Mmm?

If that happened, I'd be lonely too. Super lonely!

But, it'll be ok. Nothing will change.

Even if we're separated, as long as we wish for it, we'll be fine...

It'll be something even better than it is now.

...Yeah.

It's OK

Kazuko-Sensei, good morning.

Ah, Kaname-san, morning!

I'm sorry about yesterday! I just stayed silent from about halfway through...

Ah, I was thinking that I was saying it too harshly...

...I'm going to take the entrance exam to a high school one rank higher!

Oh, you're certain?

Yes.

Someone who knows me better than even myself

Gave me a push forward...!

The Way Forward
