[video] ♐ April 24th

[Madoka is sitting on her bed in her pyjamas. Her hair's loose, her knees are drawn up to her chest and her arms are wrapped around them. She doesn't look happy. Not at all. It's a little too dark to see her face properly, so you can't tell if she's been crying or not, but when she speaks, she sounds as if she might have just finished.]

... Hello there, everyone. Can I... um, is it okay if I ask everyone a favour? Could someone talk to me, please? I-I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight...

[Nodding] Y-yes... Sayaka-chan always wanted to protect people from the witches as a magical girl, so... she would have hated to hurt anyone. B-but it's still not fair... and then afterwards, Mami-san as well, she-- she was going t-to kill us all! B-because she didn't want us -- to be witches, a-and she s-said i-it was the only way, so to save Homura-chan I-I had to-- it's too cruel...!

[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.

[Madoka takes her time answering, listening to what he says before wiping her eyes again.] I-I... I think I see. It's... it's not fair, but we still have to keep fighting while we can... right? ... I'm sorry to hear about your friend.

That's right.

Then I'll keep on fighting too. Until I can't possibly do anymore.

You're welcome... and - and thank you too, Sumimura-san. For listening to me talk.
