To his right, and across from Madoka, sits Akane, who views the two with suspicion.] narration: That conversation a little while ago... Maybe these two are...?! 5 [She eyes Kyousuke critically. Oblivious, he laughs at something Madoka said.] narration: If that's the case, that Kyousuke... Even though he has a Hikaru-chan... What a lech!! But I can't just double-check carelessly.

Madoka FX: --------------------------------------------------- p 140 (100) 1 [He blushes and rests a hand against his injured cheek. From the choice of pronouns he uses, it is apparent that this is Akane in disguise.] narration: Th-that's good... I was wrong, after all... 2 @Kyousuke: [running off] I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Bye!! 3 [Madoka watches @Kyousuke go, but she doesn't look at all angry.] 4 [@Kyousuke pauses around a corner.
