Oh, what a tangled web, etc etc.
Sakura's in the hospital, or so the newspapers say. That's pretty terrible, if you're Machi. Who knew magical girlery could land you in the hospital? Well, she supposes, it's not exactly like she's unfamiliar with bad things happening to people in this business...
But heck, Sakura's younger than HER. And that's saying something. And this happened, what, how many days before Machi says she'd help her? Fine way to get things started.
So, Machi's loitering outside. She doesn't even know if she should go inside looking for Sakura, much less that she has anything to give her. Or say.
