(( ooc: "friends" here is basically "anyone she's had positive conversations with", but if you're unsure feel free to say your character just hacked the entry. (: ))

Thanks to that virus, I know what's wrong with the time on my world now. A lot of the things I knew when I was in Scratch-san's body are blurry now, but I remember this. My world, everyone here... we keep repeating the same month over and over again, in some kind of loop. That's why I can only ever remember it being March or April, even though so much time has passed on the community.

I don't know if there's anything I can do to stop it. I... I mean, I know that there's something I shouldn't do that might help. But I also know that something might happen where I can't avoid it.

Ah, anyway, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to ask everyone a favour. If... I mean, whenever the loop starts again for me, could you remind me about it? It looks like I forget everything I find out about my own world whenever it starts again, so you'll have to remind me about the time loops.

There's just one more thing. When you tell me about the time loops, could you tell me something else? Homura-chan's tried to tell me over and over, but for some reason in every timeline so far it hasn't worked. Since I stopped being in Scratch-san's body it's all become fuzzy again, so I can't remember why, but I know it's important. So when you tell me about how time's so strange here, make sure you also tell me not to accept a deal from someone on my world, no matter how good it might sound. Please?

I know it's an inconvenience, but if enough people tell me about it, I'm sure I'll believe you all! After all, we're friends, so there's no reason for me not to. It's just... I can't do anything about it if I don't know that it's happening. And I'm tired of not being able to do anything to help.

Since you know then maybe you could use the rest of us to keep an eye out. We'll eliminate factors. It's like what Miki-san says about a science project. You got to keep eliminating factors to get to the truth.

Right. I'm not sure if I exactly want to keep fighting in those duels--they're stupid and pointless--but I can't back down now. Anyway, if I keep fighting I might be able to find out what's happening.

Right! That sounds like it'd be a good plan. Since none of you would forget things at the start of cycles like I did, and you're not actually on this world, you'd probably notice things before I did too.

I guess the only way to find out more about anything is to go deeper in, huh. Still, try not to get yourself hurt while you're duelling. I'd hate it if anything happened to you just because of them.

People point things out about the Academy that I miss all the time. I'm sure at least one set of extra eyes can't hurt.

Hey--don't worry about it. I mean, yeah, as a friend you can worry but I'll be fine. All I've gotten is a few scrapes and bruises. I don't think the Student Council is crazy enough to actually hurt someone.

Yes, definitely.

Eheh, I hope not. It just seems like it'd be so easy for an accident to happen, with swords like that.

The Student Council are professionals. Juri-senpai is the captain of the fencing team, Saionji is the captain of the kendo team, Miki-san is practically Juri-senpai's second, and I've heard rumors that President Kiryuu is a famed kendo fighter himself. As for me... Sometimes in the arena it feels like I'm someone else; like the world slows down and it's just me plus the Sword of Dios. I don't think any accidents are going to happen.

Oh! Wow... that makes me feel a little better about all of this, then, if everyone's so skilled. Although... it's just a feeling, right? How you feel when you're in the arena, I mean.

I'm the worst of the bunch but if anything I have luck on my side. Yeah, it's just a feeling, though. Everything goes calm and cool--like they're moving in slow motion and I know exactly what to do. Maybe it's power of Dios and his Sword. Senpai did say I was fast.

So it's like magic? Eh... I wonder what the power of Dios really means.

I wonder that, too. I guess it's a miracle power...if it's supposed to bring world revolution then it has to start small, right?

Mm, I guess so! So it starts off by making you stronger in the duels, and then... ehh, this is so complicated.

You're right. I barely get it... Madoka-san, I'm sorry for changing the subject but who is Homura-chan? I want to help but I don't know the first thing about what's going on...

Oh! I'm sorry... Homura-chan is my friend. She's the one who can remember everything about the timelines anyway. But because she's from my world and we only met near the end of March, I keep forgetting all about her every time it starts up again.

Like how Himemiya is the one who knows most about the duels... Madoka-san, do you think Homura-chan might know what's going on? If she remembers...

I think she does. I still can't remember how all the timelines have ended up so far, but I think... I think something bad might happen to me in every one. And I think she might be trying to stop it.

I think to do something like that you must mean a lot to her, if that's the case. To see that over and over again and still keep on going... Ah. I don't think I'd be able to do it.

Madoka-san, if she is trying to stop it then she must be a real prince or something like that... To have a friend like that, you're lucky.

I don't know how she's able to do it either. Homura-chan's a lot stronger than I'll ever be. To go through all this trouble for my sake, and I never knew... I can't ever begin to repay something like that.

You made an impression, whether you knew it or not. If you think you deserve it or if she's stronger than you... I don't think it matters. If someone cares that much...

It's probably not going to be very helpful of me to say this but I think you must be a very special person, Madoka-chan. A person who makes such an impression on a person to make them do something like this they must be special, too.

I... I guess so. [ but she's not special. she's clumsy, and a nuisance, and not useful to anyone. ] I've never thought of myself like that before, but... but if Homura-chan cares that much - I can't let those feelings go to waste.

Sometimes it takes only one person, one event to change a person. I... speak from experience.

Really? What experience? Um, if you don't mind telling me, of course!

No trouble at all. I was just a little girl back then--six. My parents died in a car accident. I...kind of didn't take too well. Not long after I met a prince; he told me that if I keep a hold on my strength and nobility that I'd meet him again one day. As a promise he gave me the ring I now wear as a duelist.

Ever since then... The world is a hard place but I know that somewhere out there he's waiting. It sounds corny and childish, I know, but maybe your Homura-san's prince?

Oh no... I'm so sorry to hear about your parents. I can't even imagine how horrible something like that must be.

But that story, with the prince telling you those things... Utena-chan, it's just like something out of a fairy tale! Do you think you'll find him out there somewhere? Ah, that would be so romantic!

I don't mind talking about it. I barely got to know them, you know? I barely remember the accident or what happened after, anyway.

A fairy tale? Haha, I guess. As for meeting him again? Yes, yes I do. Madoka, you're starting to sound like Wakaba.

I guess so. Still, just the thought of it is so sad... ah, but I'm glad it doesn't bother you too much these days, anyway.

Eh?! Well, I can't help saying it if it's true!
