I joke a lot about how Maka views Twilight as a senior to her junior but it's actually kinda true? It doesn't occur to her that she and Twilight are one in the same, she figured she'd be annoyed by someone that's like her (because self-esteem issues and bluh) but Twilight is really cool and smart and Maka LOVES being able to have thinky type conversations once in a while. She just hopes she…doesn't come off like a total idiot in them, she certainly feels less smart than Twilight.

Initial "I'm so sorry that I don't remember you 8(" feelings from Xion aside, she fully embraces the idea of being friends with Ilya. First thoughts were legitimately along the lines of "she has a pretty name" (Simple Replica) now she's looking forward to catching up with her so they can be proper combat partners. She'll work hard, please continue to be patient with her Ilya!!!
