Some post-LTF fluff. Satsuki reminds Mako that there is a difference between being fearless and being brave.

It has been two years since Mami left Mitakihara to live in isolation, but an unexpected letter from Homura reminds her that she has never been alone: that a dear friend that she cannot remember will always be with her. TW for suicide attempt, violence and mentions of a past abusive relationship. Does not take events of Rebellion into account.

Satsuki wonders if she'll ever be comfortable with intimacy after all she's been through. Meanwhile, a certain no-star is determined to show her that not all intimacy has to be bad. Rated M for sexuality in later chapters. TW for mentions of abuse.
