[ And there it is. Tsuruno lets out a quiet breath, gazing down as they walk. ]
I want to be the Mightiest Magical Girl. So to put it as simply as I can, they're girls who made a contract to get powers and fight certain monsters in exchange for a wish. They can do whatever they want outside of that, but most of us... usually try to protect people from getting caught up in weird and dangerous things back home. It's a pretty closely guarded secret; even my family doesn't know.
[ And she says this almost apologetically, because she's aware it sounds insane. ]
Back when my friend died, I... wasn't there. The restaurant was really busy and the others told me it was fine, they'd deal with the problem without me.
But then Mel died. And someone told me it wasn't on me, it wouldn't have changed even if I'd been there. And I felt like she was saying "you're not strong enough", so I decided I'd change that. I'd become strong in every way I could. Someone supportive, someone who worked hard, who could win in any fight, who always smiled and who could handle things on her own.
[ She closes her eyes briefly, voice quieter. ]
Ultimately, I think I just want to be someone who makes people's lives better. I just sorta fell into old habits here because I hardly knew anyone and I didn't want to give them someone extra to worry about.
