[How damaged, really, is something she might never come to terms with. Early in life she saw her parents screaming at each other, she got the "not now, I'm busy" until it became expected, she knew exactly when her mother was crying and where her father was--who he was with at the time.
It's simple, it's not exactly the tragedy someone would write plays about, but it culminates into Maka--a young teen with a very damaged view of the world.
What is important, however, is her reaction to it. Maka does not like this damaged world that's been built up around her, and she wouldn't wish it on any other person. So while she's not looking to save the world, as said, she'd like to help people and hope they'll have a better life.
There are people like her out there, she knows, people who have had the world betray them and so felt they also had to be alone. But, as Rei said, though an individual can be considered "strong" no one is truly strong unless they are unified with people they care for with all of their heart and soul. That is the meaning of Union.]
Heh? I thought you already did, or was the volunteering at the Shrine and meeting your girlfriend for nothing.
[The tingling hasn't stopped. Actually, it intensifies at the press of Rei's lips into a burning sensation--Maka reaches up to rub at her shoulder as if that would help, but before either of them can assess that there's a sudden burst of energy from her.
It's not forward, or around, so it doesn't harm Rei or Stella, it's actually concentrated on her back at the shoulder blades...they're wings. Incandescent wings made of pure light have burst from Maka's back. The energy doesn't feel like it burns or that it's harmful, it's...calming, almost like the concentrated feeling of comfort. They spread out and fold around the three into a protective cocoon, then burst open back to their original position--all of the ice Aria had conjured up seems to have dispersed at that action.
Maka is, of course, in shock but...calmer somehow. She doesn't feel that this evolution was as untimely or painful as the first.]
