Maru managed to look a little surprised, though it was hard to really tell under all the tired. Had Madoka not seen what he was? What he could become? That hadn't scared her?

"... You saw what I was, didn't you?" He asked her, head cocked curiously. "And that didn't scare you?" Though, when he thought about it, Mahiru hadn't really been afraid of him either. Others had. He could remember people screaming upon seeing him in that form. But no one had back then.
