---

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Hi, Hinoiri, this is Ula.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Can we talk?

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Kiiiind of in the middle of something, but what's up? Please tell me that Sayaka isn't doing something reckless/stupid/suicidal/all of the above?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Not really. It's more of an incident.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: There are two of her now.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: What, another girl wished to save a friend or something? I mean, if she knew what she was getting into, I don't see the problem.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: No, I mean, there are two Sayaka Miki.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... Wait, like a copy? Errr, she didn't like... go into any pools of reflection, did she?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Well, one of them has adopted the name Klarissa to avoid confusion.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Not really, it all started like normal. Chasing a familiar across the cities of Mitakihara. The problems didn't begin until after it was disposed of.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: That doesn't answer the question.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: There is a lot to say, I am typing.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: How about you try to use an oversized phone?

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... Okay I want a picture of you typing on the phone now because that sounds ADORABLE. And trust me, I feel your pain more than you'd think. Texting sucks.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Well, it may sound adorable to you, but it's just my normal.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: And it's kind of hard to take a photo of myself typing on a phone with that phone.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: What do you mean by your understanding? I don't think you think normal clumsiness by the context.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: I didn't have a phone until I came here, they weren't big where I was from. Moving on, so Sayaka is now two of her? She handling it okay? Like... do I need to some knock some sense into her, or is this more a 'heads up' thing?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: One Sayaka is taking it well. The other one is sort of feeling like a thief about it, but the first one isn't letting it fly.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: So more of a heads up.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Overall, they are sharing things like good, err, sisters.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... Well, that sounds adorable. I'm actually leaving town for a few days this weekend, so uhhh... I'll try and swing by and make sure everything is cool with the two of them before I go, okay? They know you have their phone?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: I asked, yes. They are busy with getting their dorm room adapted to their new situation, so they didn't have a use for it for now.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: They were hesitant about telling you at first, but they had to sooner or later, so they let me.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Why would they be hesitant about telling me? On the list of top ten weird things I've been through since coming to the school, this is... okay, it makes the list, but still not the weirdest.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: It's just that it's a weird thing to say, I think, even if it's not the weirdest.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Also, they haven't decided what to tell everyone yet.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Eh. I'm her girlfriend. She should be able to trust me with things like this. Not like she has any reason not to trust me... yet. Mwa ha ha ha ha. So, like, are they perfect doubles? Or is this more a 'Normal-Sayaka/Reverse-Sayaka' thing?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: They have their own personalities, and neither of them is exactly like the whole Sayaka, but if they are not doing anything telling them apart is impossible.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Sounds like you've been having fun over there. They both pampering you?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Pampering me? They are treating me well, but like normal.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Anyway, what happened is the familiar was carrying a Lost Logia and it activated when Sayaka grabbed it.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Huh. Neat. What's a logia and who did it belong to? Can they put her back?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: That TSAB Enforcer had said a Lost Logia is a relic from a lost civilisation and each does its own thing.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: He doesn't know how to undo it yet, apparently.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Lost civilization? TSAB Enforcer? ... Well. This sounds like a headache. Listen, I'll try and swing by and bring them something nice when I do, before my trip. You'll keep an eye on them, right? Wait, does Madoka know?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: They will appreciate it, I am sure.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: And yes, I will keep an eye on them.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Madoka doesn't know yet.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... Let her know. I think we both know that Madoka is more important to Sayaka than me.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: I will. See you soon.
