Her Drowning

/12/

Looking at Kyousuke and Hitomi was hard. Hitomi was what she could have been, should have been… but she'd chosen to be selfless instead and give that up, because Kyousuke loved the violin more than anything. A little selfishly, Sayaka wondered how long Hitomi would last in the face of that sort of love.

Looking at Madoka was hard too, because Madoka was kind and gentle and that was a cruel combination. If Madoka had been a little kinder, a little less gentle…

That was unfair, Sayaka knew. It weighed so heavily on her. It would have crushed Madoka underfoot.
