Susan's usually stern face brightened with a hint of a smile, "But if you keep wallowing like this, it'll be trouble. After all, you haven't helped me regain my transformation powers, nor have you found An Shiyu."
Peony moved her arm away, her eyes red as she looked at her friend, "I can't do either."
"That's true if you keep spacing out here," Susan said softly, "But if you really feel guilty, then get up, help me find An Shiyu, and then think of a way to help me regain the powers of a Magical Girl."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're teammates," Susan reached out her hand to her, "What did you say to me before? We're friends, so don't shoulder everything alone. Was that just pretty words from an adult fooling a kid back then?"
