... It's nice here. Even with the danger at midnight.

People can defend themselves without having to contract.

... I like it. And... I'm glad the people from home are here, it's safer.

What do you mean by 'contract', Miss Homura?

[Video]

[witchless]

At home there's a creature that offers to grant any wish, but at a very steep cost. It takes your soul in exchange.

[crownedexorcist]

[That got his attention. Particularly the 'soul' part.] Such a contract exist...

[He thinks back to the Millennium Earl and his offer to revive the dead, back when he's just a child.]

What happens to the soul?

[Video]

[witchless]

The soul in made into a gem. When the owner of the soul accumulates enough despair, they become a witch.

[crownedexorcist]

That's horrible. [The amount of despair it takes to change someone. The witch Homura speaks of might be different from what he's imagining, but it doesn't change the fact about what happens.]

[witchless]

... There's nothing you could do to reverse it either.

[Video]

[crownedexorcist]

Nothing at all?

[Video]

[witchless]

We tried various methods, nothing worked.

[crownedexorcist]

What do you do when someone...becomes a witch? [He suspects the answer.]

[Video]

[witchless]

You have to kill them.

[Video]

[crownedexorcist]

I see.

[Video]

[witchless]

Why do you ask?

[Video]

[crownedexorcist]

I was wondering if they can be saved... Or that their souls can get salvation.

[Video]

[witchless]

Only when they're killed.
