Okay!!! So...
Actually, wait
This is the right number, right?

Yes, yes it is.

Okay, good!
I've had a few people try my numbers who didn't know me, so...
Anyway!!

So...
The cafe is a lot of work, but that's only because I run it, right?
And I'm sure Ebony Threads is the same way.
But that got me thinking
We've both been here a really long time, Rohan.
What if we don't run a place ourselves
But we still own it?
Something we could do on top of everything else, for money and safekeeping?

Are you asking to go in on something together?

That sounds fun and different. I've been looking for fun and different.

That's exactly what I'm asking. (*ゝω・*)
The way I see it, we've probably got enough saved up to go in on something together.
And even if we don't, well...
I'm pretty sure we can find ways to get the price down!

[ madoka might not have suggested extortion or threats a year ago.

madoka also wasn't a demon back then. ]

Or, well, I was pretty sure.
See, I was originally thinking...
Well, you know the Typhon?

I think I have enough to help out in getting something.

I do know the Typhon. That was one of the first jobs I applied for.

As a costume designer.

Not for performing.

--anyway, what about it?

Don't worry, Rohan.
I would have put you as a designer right away.
And you could come out to watch for free when Jotaro performed. d(ゝ∀･)
Anyway, I was originally thinking we could try to take care of it.
The last time I'd checked, it was a human running everything, so they wouldn't be connected to us in quite the same way...

But!!
Since then, someone else has taken over.
Haruka Nanase, I think.
So I wouldn't want to get in his way.

But I'd already gotten my hopes up a little, I think.
Music, dancers, and pretty people all over...
It makes me blush to think about all that being mine!

And then, I realized something.
Do you know what all of that would work even better for?

I think you have better taste than whatever the Typhon or Dandy's glorified dumpster can churn out.

I would love to be at the helm of something I could put some of my designs into practice on straight out of the gate. I hope you have the same vision that I do because it's spectacular.

I have a feeling that I know what it could work 'even better for' but tell me, tell me...

That means a lot to hear, coming from you.
And I don't know if everyone at the Typhon is, um...
Classy, I guess?
But Mami and Lapis both performed there, and they were pretty classy, I think...
Nowhere near as classy as they'd have been with your designs, of course.
And nowhere near as classy as they could have been by just

Letting loose for a little bit.
That's what made me think about it, I'm pretty sure.
That's what She wants for us, right?
To live life the way we want to.
To find people we care for and look after them.
To have fun while we're here.

Rohan, what if we made a church?

It's like a break from the norm without actually detaching from it. Have it all in one place and put together but not in the way that mimics the burden of everyday life, right? I've been wanting something like that. Since all I do is work and go home nowadays.

A break in the monotony. Like not being a chore--

A church?

Why hadn't we thought of that before? It's perfect.

It can be our vision in Her image!

I know! I'm really proud of it, too.
I don't think we need to make something... formal, I guess.
Everyone in Dyster is too good at what they do for us to even match up!
But what we *can* do is have fun.
Loud and happy, just like she'd want.

And what both of us can do even better than that is run a place.
So that's what I was thinking!
We figure out some place to get a Church of Fog set up,
And we get as many people as we can celebrating in her name.
Nonstop, start to finish, praise for being alive.

Honestly, the Typhon probably could take some lessons!

When people liken the Fog with nothing but doom and death, I feel like this is an excellent way to flip that script of thinking!

We just need to find a place to put it and come up with a catchy name and

oh my Miss Madoka, this is genius.

I'm excited. So very, very excited.

I don't even know where to begin.

Exactly!
So many people only think of Her as someone who's making them hurt.
What if we show them it's not all like that?
While Elias's people are out trying to break things, we can actually let people have a good time!

Rohan, there's nobody I'd trust more than you to make this work.
It's going to be a lot of work...
But I think we've really got something wonderful going.

Likewise.

I'm honored to know that you feel that way. There is no one else I would rather work in tandem with.

The sooner we get started, the sooner we will know how much we need to do. You and I are good at multitasking.

Where should we start though? Just for a jumping-off point? Will we need to ask Her for anything?

[ do we need to ask mom if its ok to make a church ]
