See, this is exactly why she was so awkward about saying this! Not even because it's supposed to be a secret or anything, but it's more just that she figures saying stuff like that may make others sad, like poor, soft-hearted Wormmon. And she just doesn't want to do that to people.

So even though she still looks the same as a moment ago as she hears that concern in the bug's voice, she releases a breath when he gets to that last question.

At least that one isn't as hard to answer.

".. I really don't mind."

The words don't sound like a lie, and a moment after they leave her mouth, Madoka even manages to smile very slightly.

"It's not important whether or not they remember me, after all. I'm.. really not all that important. What's important is just that they're all happy."
