She had tried time and time again yet all it amounted to was increasing Madoka's potential beyond belief.
The Incubators words rang through her as she finally began to fall into despair. Her ankle twisted and her head bleeding. Was this where she was going to die? All she had done so far was it all meaningless?
She closed her eyes and tears leaked from her eyes as she began to sob and shoulders shook with grief.
She was filled with so much grief that she didn't hear the music began to play around her nor did she notice that time was frozen and it was not her doing.

Homura Akemi.
A gentle voice called out to her causing her eyes to snap open at the unknown voice.
As she looked around she was surprised. Time was still. She looked towards her shield. It wasn't active. So how was time stopped? Her soul gem was also frozen.
My dear Homura.
There it was again. The voice. It was so soft yet it seemed to hold so much power within it.
"Who are you?" She asked looking around trying to find the source of the voice as she rubbed the tears from her eyes.
Whoever this was could stop time as well and if they wanted to harm her they would likely already have done so.
Silly Homura-chan. Why would I ever even want to hurt you?
What did they want? She was tired and broken. A magical girl about to despair. What more did they want?
The moment she thought that, she felt something in her soulgem and lifted her hand and saw grief flowing out of her soul gem leaving it glowing a bright lavender.
There, now Homura-chan won't become a witch.
And what was the use of this? She couldn't beat Walpurgisnacht and save Madoka no matter what she did. The world would be better without her.
NO, the world is not better without Homura-chan! If Homura-chan goes then we don't want to live too.
What? Who was this anyway? And why was it saying such things? Were they reading her mind?
Noooo?
"Was that a question or a statement? Never mind that."
"What do you want with me?"
I want Homura chan to live an have fun. But Homura-chan also want to save Madoka and beat Wallmart Night so I want to help Homura-chan too!
*Snort* Wallmart. *snort* in all her timelines she never once heard someone refer to it like that.but this wasn't the time for jokes.
"Right. I cannot believe that. The last time I did I had my soul turned into a Gem, literally. So there is definitely going to be a catch for this help."
No! I really want to help Homura-chan!
"And why would you want to help me? Out of the goodness of your heart? I find that hard to believe! "
At this point, Homura was lashing out. Her mind tense tired and angry needed to lash out at something.
*mumble*
"I could hear what you said can you repeat that."
*mumble, mumble Homura-chan
"Can you please say it a bit louder?"
*deep breath* I said I want to help because I love Homura-chan!
At this Homura Akemi's mind froze unable to procrss, was still for a minute unable to move from what she just heard.
Homura.exe has stopped running.
An unexpected error occurred and needs to shut down.
Homura Akemi fainted.
It was super effective.
Oh...think I should start helping Homura chan now. But I have to be careful not to give too much help or the bad Gods will try to hurt her.
Once again Time was turned back and this time at the hand of a God instead of a Mortal...
