Kyousuke FX: 6 [Madoka stops and looks at him with some concern.] --------------------------------------------------- p 64 (24) 1 Madoka: [gentle smile] Is that true?

That's the truth! 3 [Madoka smiles gently back.] 4 [She pulls out a nicely wrapped present, placing it on the counter.] Madoka: That's right. There's one left over! Yup!

We didn't make that much... 3 [Kyousuke stares hard at the gift in his hands.] Kyousuke: EH?! 4 [Master holds up his tiny piece of chocolate and motions at the wrapped gift in Kyousuke's hands.] Master: But Ayukawa-kun.

[Kyousuke smiles at her back.] narration: Maybe Ayukawa... Is feeling embarrassed? ---------------------------------------------------
