[Action]

[When Izumo finds herself back in the village post-mallynap, the first thing she does is head home--she'll talk to Rin and Shiemi if they're around, but regardless she doesn't wind up staying too long. Why? Because after searching the house, she's come to realize that the fox kit she got for Christmas is missing. Hoping he hadn't been gone for too long or gotten too far, she'll wander the village asking people if they've seen a tiny gray fox in town lately.]

[Video]

[Later in the day Izumo sits in her room, making sure to keep the fox close now that she's retrieved him--after a lot of searching, she found him with Ran Fan.]

I've had a long day and I don't think going to the library would do me much good anyway, so I'm just going to ask--does anyone know what kinds of foods are best to eat when you can't smell?

[Izumo lets out a sigh, pausing for a minute as the baby fox tries to crawl up her and onto her shoulder...which frankly wouldn't make a very good perch for him.] Get down...

[Grabbing him and placing him in her lap, she returns her focus to her journal.]

...Anyway, before anyone stupid asks? Yes, smell and taste are connected.

B-but there's no use to taking away someone's sense of smell, right? It just seems cruel..

[bossybrows]

I'm not the ones doing these things, but I don't think they care if they're being cruel.

[happyends]

Maybe it's just that they don't know instead! You know.. if someone told them it, then maybe they'd reconsider.. that's what I think.

[bossybrows]

Somehow I think they're aware.

[Oh, Madoka...]

[happyends]

[ she's always a little too optimistic.. ]

.. Eh? Why do you think so?

[bossybrows]

They're kidnapping people to experiment on them...why wouldn't they be?

[happyends]

B-but people said they're just doing that to help both themselves and us to find a way out of here! So they're not doing it for bad reasons at all..!

[bossybrows]

Even if that's true, they still know what they're doing.

[happyends]

How do you know that for sure..? U-um, I don't mean to disagree with you, but it could be that they don't think those things are bad, right?

[bossybrows]

It's...kind of hard for them not to know, isn't it?

[happyends]

Maybe they just don't understand things the way we do!

[bossybrows]

[Sigh.]

Fine, go ahead and tell yourself whatever you like.
