[there is a significant pause. your world is messed up, Madoka]

I- I had a...friend, once. He was a good teacher, well-respected...but he became an ayakashi. [his voice is still controlled, but strained] He killed a lot of people. [and why is he even telling her this]

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say, exactly, but...sometimes the world is cruel. What's important is that you keep going.
