Being a Wild Card is Wild Hard
Personas, shadows and superheroes...it all became part of her life so suddenly that she was practically spinning in place as it zoomed past her. And you know what? It was awesome. It was like her magical girl animes! Except in real life! Young Madoka was even lucky enough to have a special power they called the Wild Card. She didn't understand all of it, but basically it was a reward for making all kinds of friends! And there are so many cool people part of the team already that she figured she'd get the benefits in no time.
Of course, this came with the added energy to go out and try to better herself. She has to be the very best she can be to be of help to the team! That meant studying harder, spending more time with her friends, maybe jobs and extracurricular activities to boost her faith, her courage and...
...And goodness gracious, this is all exhausting. This schedule's a lot more busy and she doesn't have the stamina for it all just yet. As such, the girl seems visibly tired as she strolls into HQ and faceplants onto the couch after dropping her bookbag off beside the entrance. She makes a sound that resembles tired grumbling, but it's kinda hard to make out through the pillow.
"I didn't know having superpowers was so tiring..."
Okay, that one came in loud and clear.

Minato comes back to the couch, sits down, picks up the mug, and downs the rest of the coffee. No sense in letting that go to waste.
"Something like that, yeah. At first, I only did it reluctantly. Didn't really care about actually making friends and forming bonds for anything other than the power they gave. It was stressful, but after a while, after I discovered that helping people and being friends could actually make a difference in their lives, just being with them was what drove me forward. Getting more powerful wasn't even a factor."
"...Practically, though, get a planner. Start writing stuff down, and don't forget to take some time just for yourself."

Of course, the rest of what he has to say settles into her mind as well. The power is a nice benefit, sure, but she hadn't considered it too much. Largely due to not experimenting too much with the Velvet Room's capabilities. Maybe she should try fighting some more shadows and finding a few personas...
"It does feel nice helping people, even if it's pretty tiring. I found a job helping animals at a shelter; they're all so cute and friendly! But I didn't know people could be so mean to innocent animals before..."
