[ Homura hadn't been keen on using the device given to her when she arrived into this place, rather preferring to find out what was going on in here on her own - who knows whether it could be fully trusted, after all. But after fruitlessly looking around for quite some time, she seems to have realised that relying on this thing for now might just

[Great. Someone Sayaka didn't really want to see so soon. Especially when Sayaka knew that Homura was right about everything, despite her vehemently not trusting her. How could she face her now?]

3/4

[handfulmagica]

[Maybe Sayaka could not answer this call---No, that wouldn't work. Knowing Madoka, she'd probably try to have Homura stay with at the house with them.

... The sooner the better, she guesses. Play it cool, play it cool, play it cool---]

4/4

[Sayaka clicks the video feed on, trying to force her anxiety back with a calm smile.]

... Hey. I was wondering when you'd show up, transfer student.

[homerunmagica]

[ ... Oh. Homura heard that Sayaka was here as well, but yet seeing her like this - she's such a liability in any world, so prone into changing into a witch and making everything head further down to a bad end - is enough to slightly unsettle or perhaps even annoy her.

Of course it doesn't show in her expression though. ]

Miki Sayaka. Showing up here was not my intention, but surely you realise that much.

[handfulmagica]

As unsociable as ever, I see.

[This girl really annoyed Sayaka, whether she meant to or not.]

Have you spoken to Madoka yet?

[homerunmagica]

Even in a situation like this socializing is unnecessary.

... Yes, I have spoken to her already. [ And of course Madoka has already told her what Sayaka remembers, but she wants to make sure.. ] What do you remember from before you came here?

[Her smile immediately crumbles into a grim expression as she glances towards the ground.]

... I turned into a Witch.

[If Homura had spoken to Madoka already, there was no need for Sayaka to elaborate. Sayaka had made a contract and died, then made sure to hide that fact from Madoka as best as she could upon them meeting in Somarium. She expected the transfer student to be able to put two and two together.]

Heh... Guess I owe you an apology for not trusting you, huh?

[ Oh, so Sayaka does remember all of it. And yes, Homura can rather easily tell that this just means she didn't tell Madoka all about it.. Which is probably for the best, considering Madoka herself doesn't even seem to remember this much.

... Perhaps she owes the other girl one just for that. But Homura doesn't linger on the thought.

But she doesn't quite react to Sayaka's question - of course she didn't trust her back then, they never trusted her, they just did the same wrong things over and over again - and instead focuses more on the general fact. ]

This place gave you a second chance. Don't waste it.

... Don't repeat your mistakes. [ Because she has seen them being repeated too many times already. ] If not just for Kaname Madoka's sake.

Yeah. I'm not planning to.

[She can't believe that she was actually agreeing with Homura now. Still, with all that's happened, Sayaka really had no choice but to. Homura and Madoka were the only ones among them that were still alive back in their world. She felt that the only way to make sure that it stays that way is to cooperate with the transfer student she was so harsh to.]

... Kyuubey isn't here, and neither are Witches. The Soul Gems stay bright, no matter how much magic we use. You could say that this place lets us be normal girls for once, aside from some weird stuff happening from time to time. Madoka seems pretty happy here, too.

[She sighs.]

I... I guess what I'm saying is... maybe you can take your time in finding a way out for yourself and her.

[ Finding a way out.. Not just out of here or out of their situation, but finally a way out of this labyrint of timelines. A way to finally overcome the day of Walpurgis Night. Even if she would return home, she would still have to face it on her own - Mami, Sayaka and Kyouko all being gone was a fact, after all. And Madoka contracting was something that shouldn't happen, couldn't happen for a happy ending.

... She has to train, find some way, any way to become stronger and defeat Walpurgis Night in this place. That much she realises. So that their pain and suffering can end. ]

That's what I plan on doing.

[ Even if it's the same emotionless voice and expression as always, it's a bit softer and less harsh now. ]

Don't worry, Miki Sayaka. I will protect her until the very end. No matter the costs.
