[The screen shows Homura smilng softly for a few moments]

... 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.

'Contract'?

[He was pinged by that word, having come from a time and place where that word was important.]

[witchless]

You give up your soul for a wish.

[maguskiller]

[And there's another one. 'Wish'. Lot of terms he's wary about here.]

You're from a world with magic, then.

[witchless]

I am.

[maguskiller]

I see. So am I.

[Looks like the town is still having an effect on him. He privately chastises himself for talking too much.]

Did you accept that offer, then?

[witchless]

I did. [She didn't have much of a choice the first time.]

[maguskiller]

Hm...

[He wants to say something like 'I'm sorry' or such, but sadly, the compulsion to speak your true feelings works both ways.]

...If I may ask, what was worth giving your soul for?

[witchless]

... I wanted to save my best friend.

[maguskiller]

...I see.

That's a good wish.

[At least, the broken fragments of the man he used to be say so. She was clearly still alive after making the contract, after all. Anything is a worthy price for saving a life, in his mind.]

[witchless]

... She's safe now.

[maguskiller]

[He nods. The back of his mind wonders if it was possible to wish for something bigger, like saving the entire world, but that's only because he doesn't know how the balance of despair and hope works in Homura's world.]

Kiritsugu Emiya.

[witchless]

[She'll nod back]

Homura Akemi.

[maguskiller]

What kind of magic were you capable of doing, Akemi-san?

[witchless]

I could control time.

[maguskiller]

Hm. Same as me, then.

[That... was only in part an effect of the event, actually. Normally, Kiritsugu would be far more careful about divulging what kind of magic he uses, but after losing it after the fire, it doesn't matter anymore.]

If it's anything like mine, it should come in handy.

[witchless]

...It had it's uses. I don't have it any more though.
