[And this is Maka on a guilt trip. Having received the real vaccine the first time around (not that she hadn't tried to fight off the hazmat guys), she totally healthy.

She's with Chrona, again. But as long as Chrona remains unconscious...]

I'm so sick of being useless. I hate this place...

[Chrona's not so unconscious at the moment. She'd actually probably be in Mr. Corner right now, but she just can't move off the bed, since she got the crappy other vaccine as soon as she woke up the day after she died of the cyanide shot.]

Maka...

[takeyour_soul]

Y-Yeah, I'm here.

[hell_inmyhead]

You... y-you're not useless...

[takeyour_soul]

Oh, uh... I didn't realize you heard me.

[She promptly decides to ignore this.]

Are you feeling any better? Don't strain yourself, I was really worried about you.

[bustydefense]

Don't give up yet.

[takeyour_soul]

I know, I won't. It's just...

It's really discouraging.

[bustydefense]

I know. It's hard, sometimes, to keep trying.

[takeyour_soul]

I'll pull through, I swear I will. I just hate this so much.

[soulfulscythe]

[ and this would be soul knocking on her door. ]

Oi, open up.

[takeyour_soul]

[She does, 'cause it's Soul.]

What?

[soulfulscythe]

You're not, never have been, and never will be useless.

[ with that, he heads into the other room to help out. ]

[takeyour_soul]

[After she's sure he's out of earshot, she starts crying, just a little. Because at least Soul believes in her, and isn't it selfish to get discouraged like this?]

D-Dammit, Soul...

[fallen_cupid]

What's the matter, Maka?

D...Did someone close to you...?

[takeyour_soul]

They died.

Not that that should phase me while I'm here.

[fallen_cupid]

Of course it should! I-I mean...it's always terrible when someone we care about dies. Just because of where we area doesn't mean it's okay!

[takeyour_soul]

I-It's not okay, but...

I just don't know what to do.

[the_devils_maid]

Maka?

[takeyour_soul]

[She immediately tries to regain her composure.]

Y-Yes, Sakuya?

[the_devils_maid]

You're useless?

[takeyour_soul]

...

It sure seems that way.
