This virus is weird.

[justforyou]

Am I really acting that weird?

[icantbelievethis]

Yeah. Sorry.

[justforyou]

I don't really get this.

[icantbelievethis]

You think I do?

[justforyou]

Probably not...

[Beat.]

...am I a magical girl?

[icantbelievethis]

In the real non-virus world, yeah.

[justforyou]

... I didn't think that could actually have happened.

[icantbelievethis]

Why not?

[justforyou]

Aren't magical girls supposed to be brave and save the world and stuff like that? I couldn't do that.

[icantbelievethis]

Yeah, no, you couldn't.

Anybody can. I didn't think I could.

[justforyou]

Really...?

[icantbelievethis]

Yeah.

[justforyou]

You don't really seem like a person who'd be bothered by stuff like that.

[icantbelievethis]

That's an insult, right...

[justforyou]

No...! I just meant you didn't seem like you wouldn't want to be a magical girl.

[icantbelievethis]

Do you know how much it screws up your life?

[justforyou]

Not...really?

[icantbelievethis]

You can't go anywhere without the chance that some monster's gonna show up and try to eat you. And keeping secrets is hard. My family thinks I've lost it.

[justforyou]

That does sound really bad.

[icantbelievethis]

It's hard to get used to.

[justforyou]

Are you really sure I could be a magical girl?

[icantbelievethis]

Anyone could.

[justforyou]

Really? That...kind of sounds awesome.

[icantbelievethis]

That's one way to put it.
