(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Um... so I have a question.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Aqua Regina came to help you, and she brought you back.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: I'm happy you're here, but I'm a little confused about what happened.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: If I'm being honest you kinda remind me of her in some ways.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Do I now?

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: That's nice, thank you.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: What's on your mind?

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Hm. Well. It's probably nothing.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: I'm really really glad you're okay.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: ... and that I don't have to tell any of my Chara that you're gone.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: And I like your new henshin. It looks really nice.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: I guess what I'm really wondering is if everything is really okay?

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Sorry, I'm being paranoid because you were sick for so long.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: I am sorry for putting you through that, Madoka-chan.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: You don't have to say that when you were the one suffering the most.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: I am much better now, I feel a lot clearer.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Yeah, it hurt, but I knew what I was doing. It was my choice.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: You had nothing like that.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: I really like my new henshin too.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: I will just have to get used to a bigger mic.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Hehehe, true. Is that what the staff is?

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Yes!

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: It's just like Aqua Regina's, so you have a point about comparing us.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: That's very fitting.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Are you sure nothing else is on your mind?

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: ... It's just the way Aqua Regina said things. It kinda made me wonder if we were ever going to see her again.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: So. I guess that's what's on my mind.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: I am surprised too.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: It feels like she... planned this, somehow?

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Or at least wanted to give her position away, one day.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Yeah. Like she was passing the torch.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Well... wherever she is, I hope she's happy.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: I guess we'll never know all the details, but it sounds like you have a huge responsibility in front of you.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: So if we're both friends and goddesses does that make us a pantheon?

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: I wonder if Usagi would count. I feel like Mamo-kun would argue 'yes'.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: We would make the best disjointed goddess trio

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: A goddess of hope, a goddess of the moon, and a goddess of the seas

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Or more a goddess of songs?

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Aqua Regina was the goddess of the seas, but she didn't actually have water magic

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Never thought much about it

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: She was really called that due to having formed the Kingdoms of the Seven Seas

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Makes sense to me. It's the same kind of logic behind saying someone is the queen of their territory.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Guess there's not much to think about if not much is known.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: You'll hopefully have time to figure out your new self, though.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: And we'll be here to support you, too!

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Thank you, Madoka-chan!

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: I am here too if you need something

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Do you think the Ancients had two gods?

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Hm. I was thinking about that. We saw their world in that one timeline, right? The one made by Fuku and Hippo. Did we see an Aqua Regina then?

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Maybe we missed her?

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: But no

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: A god of the Ancients did for her what she did for me, right?

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Not sure if I heard wrong

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: No, I think you're right.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: I'm not sure what that says about the god of the Ancients, though.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: But... if we follow that logic, then was Aqua Regina mortal at some point?

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: I guess so?

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: I don't like that thought

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Or at least, I hope she lived her life

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: I hope so, too.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: I mean, you're still dating Rihito, right? You're still with us as our friend, too.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: It would make sense if she had a similar chance.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: It would!

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: She said that too, before leaving

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: To count on my friends

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Yeah.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Eheh... well... depending on how things go with me... if you got Aqua Regina's fate...

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: You and I might be friends for a very long time.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: It's true

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: But I am glad

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: You are a dear friend, Madoka-chan 😄

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: I am, too. I'm glad! You've been a good friend to me from the start. 😄

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Longevity is a little less scary knowing that I wont have to face it alone.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: ... all things considered I'm grateful you're still around at all.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: I am too

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Obviously, but...

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Seeing everyone again

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Made me so happy

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: We were happy to see you, too.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: It was terrifying in the moment...

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: But things worked out for us in the end.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: I have to admit. I don't think I'd be able to forgive Sheshe and Mimi if that was the end of you.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: I sincerely do hope they learn their lesson and chill out a bit.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: I hope so too

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: I am not happy at them

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: But they got a second chance

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: And I hope they make good use of it

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Same

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: We still have to figure out where they are staying

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: They are at the South Pacific for now

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: I have to catch Nikora and the others up on everything from today

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Yeah.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Well... somewhere in the ocean is probably best.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Leaving them to their own devices seems like a bad idea, too.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: You're probably best suited to decide that for them.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: I'd help if I could, but I don't think living in a Labyrinth is a good idea either.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Not in the long term.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: We will figure it out

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: By the way!

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: We are planning a party

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Do you want to come?

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Sure!

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: I think we can all use the break.

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: You especially.

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: We definitely can

(PHONE) Coco Delrieu texts: Let's see who else wants to come, and then decide

(PHONE) Madoka Kaname texts: Okay!
