Hey, you're still doing better than her. Sayaka was stubborn enough that everyone that tried to reach out to her was met with a backhand, not just me. Hell, she apparently told Madoka, one of her oldest friends, that she didn't have any right to judge her unless she became a Magical Girl too. Which brings me back to the whole "wasn't using her Grief Seeds" thing, because having a dark Soul Gem encourages negative emotions. Speaking of, I should probably offload after that rant.

[Kyoko's Soul Gem, which had admittedly reached the "roiling" stage of corruption at this point, lets the impurities flow out and form into Ophelia, but a different Ophelia than the one Usagi knows. The empty kimono has a vibrant forest pattern, and the beaded chains have been replaced by hanging vines. Viridian flames dance around where she floats, the plants around them gaining unusual vitality instead of burning away.]

Well. This is new.
