[Locked to Luceti residents]

[The following message is typed, but an automated computerized voice option is available as well. It will appear on the journal system at around 6AM.]

Approximately three hours ago, the experimental enclosure known as Kin’cora, located in Region Six, was attacked by a cultist army led by the entity known as The General. His forces breached the barrier and began their invasion. Malnosso Security Forces responded in turn and decimated his forces. Just under half of the enclosure's population was killed or taken for sacrifice before the situation was resolved.

By order of the Commandant, the enclosure designated as Luceti has been approved as a temporary refuge for displaced subjects of the Kin’cora experiment. In approximately six hours, subjects will begin to arrive. They will remain there until such a time as they can be moved to more permanent accommodations. Note, the Kin’cora journal system will be deactivated while within the Luceti enclosure.

Cultist activity continues to be high in Region Six. Expect additional supplies to be limited until situation is resolved. Emergency rations will be routed to the enclosure as they become available. Subjects are urged to use current provisions wisely and to cooperate with displaced refugees. For safety purposes the Shift limiting superhuman abilities will be reduced to ten percent. No further details will be made available at this time.

End message.

Why wouldn't they want to be friends?

[The idea of someone not wanting to be friends is completely beyond her--even though she's experienced it plenty already in Luceti.]

[ it can dawn on madoka juuust a little, even if she's still in the whole magical girl make all the friends kind of thing too. ]

I thought maybe because they've been through so much they won't easily trust people.. or something like that.

[lostinmyway]

But if they've just had a tough time, wouldn't they want friends even more now?

[happyends]

That's what you'd normally think, right..? It's just.. um.. I guess people are a little more complicated than that? No, no, wait.. it's more that everyone's different.

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... That's right. But even if they're a little upset when they come here, I'm sure everything will work out in the end.

[happyends]

If you say so.. then I'll believe in it too. Or try my best, at least.. since I want to make friends with them too so they can feel welcome.

[lostinmyway]

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll do a good job. After all, you're a very kind person, Madoka.

[happyends]

Oh, do you really think just being kind will be enough for this?

[lostinmyway]

Yes, of course. After all, there's nothing more important than being kind to other people.

[There's just a little more conviction than usual in her voice when she says this. It's a belief that she holds very deeply, even the way she is now.]

[happyends]

.. Hehe, you're so wise.. I mean, I think the same. Being kind to other people and never losing hope.. both of those things are really, really important.

[lostinmyway]

That's right. That's why you should never, ever stop, no matter what.

[happyends]

Don't worry, I won't! I'll try my best, no matter how much it takes.

[lostinmyway]

I will, too! And I'm sure everyone else will, because everyone in Luceti is so kind.
