[She hates when Sayaka talks like this. Not because she doesn't understand it — she had been here, before, she thinks. Staring down a great dark tunnel, with no end in sight. She supposes if she'd started hearing music playing in that moment years ago now, when Mami had saved her, she would have followed it into death too.

But she hates hearing it, because it makes her sad. Seeing a person like Sayaka reduced to this, all her color faded and the light gone out.]

Someone who made a wish just so someone she cared about wouldn't be miserable his whole life. Someone who fought Familiars even though they didn't drop Grief Seeds, 'cause she knew they'd kill people...someone who wanted to protect her best friend.

[She hooks her arms behind her head.] A person like that isn't better off dead.

[What had that Haruto guy said? That there was more to Sayaka than the people she was saving. Kyouko believed it too.]
