Um..! I-I'm sorry, I know there have been a lot of people talking over this lately, but there's something I really wanted to say.. [ That's probably relatively less strage fright than last time, but that's since last time was a disaster, okay. She still looks a little nervous.

She pulls out her notebook, shoving off a drawing. (Except with the girl on it wearing the usual train outfit.) ]

This is my friend from back home, Mami Tomoe. She showed up here the other day. And.. um.. maybe you've already met her! O-Or you haven't! But either way, I really hope everyone here can be nice to her.. or maybe even become her friend? She's really amazing to be friends with..! Mami-san is so cool, and she's super nice, and she is smart and give great advice and she's really mature and she also makes really delicious cakes..! [ And also desperately needs friends. Hence why Madoka is on a mission. ] B--Basically.. um! Anyone who likes being friends with me.. Mami-san is all that, but even more amazingly! So please think about talking to her when you see her..!

[ She even politely bows. And manages to not hit her head this time. Good job, Madoka. ]

T-Thanks for listening!

Yeah, before I was 16 I only had one friend. It was... pretty bad to the point that I was actively wishing to have friends.

[He seemed somewhat embarrassed by that, but at the same time that wish did technically come true.]

It has changed since those days, but that's the way I once was. But now I do have more confidence in making friends.

[happyends]

Oh...

[ Madoka's expression drops a little for a moment. That's so sad! Maybe if he had been content with the situation it wouldn't be sad, but if he really wished to have more friends and didn't get them, she just feels bad for him..

After that moment she quickly shakes off the feeling though. Quite literally, since she shakes her head as if to give herself a little mental peptalk. It takes a bit for Madoka to be bold, after all, but she wants to try and be bold here. ]

Then.. e-even if you have more confidence in it now, and probably have more friends.. I-I'd still like to be your friend here! After all, you seem so nice.. and, um, we could play games together! I'd really like that!

[sizedoesntmatter]

I'm never one to turn down a potential friendship.

[Sure he does have more friends, but he was also more than willing to make more. More so since on this train, the only person from home was Kaiba. He never really considered them friends even if Yugi had some hope that it would happen someday.]

Though I am curious as to what you and your friend would like, so I can plan accordingly.

[happyends]

That's a good question, actually.. [ She smiles. It's just the slightest bit awkward, since she feels kind of ashamed for not being able to figure this out quickly. ] I'm not too sure what kind of games Mami-san likes.. or if she's ever even played many before. I think I might have to ask her. Or maybe you could pick something that's easy for beginners..?

[sizedoesntmatter]

I can pick something for beginners. it's not the first time someone asked that either. Though I find it's better to find a combo of one for beginners but in a genre they might enjoy. Which I would be more than happy to explain what each type is.

[It was better than taking a wild guess and they hate it or something, though he could take some idea from just talking to her really.]

[happyends]

A genre.. Well, I guess Mami-san might enjoy a game that takes a bit more thinking?

[ As opposed to Madoka, who enjoys the simplest of games. Just leave her with her Hungry Hungry Hippos, thanks. ]

She's a pretty smart person.

[sizedoesntmatter]

So puzzle style games or puzzles.

[Pouzzle are not exactly simple gamewise, but they are something that he knows can exist as well.]

I should be able to come yup with a few and I'll add some simple games as well and see what happens.

[happyends]

Thank you so much.. E-especially since I'm sure you have to put some effort into thinking of something. [ It can't be easy to just think of something that'd be appropriate, she's sure! Madoka couldn't think of it, but she isn't exactly a games expert either. ] It's really nice of you to do that for a new person.

[sizedoesntmatter]

I wanted to help. I can understand how hard it is to make friends, so it was really the least I could do.

Plus thinking of games might not be that hard.

[happyends]

Okay.. Then I'll be looking forward to seeing what kind of game you come up with! I'm sure we'll have fun playing..!
