Madoka.

It was all for her.

Everything I did was for my Kaname-san.

The whole purpose of my fight... the reason I made a contract with it...

"Save Madoka."

That was the feeling that started this.

Now it's my final remaining guidepost.

Maybe... maybe the incubator was right. Maybe it was all in vain.

Maybe I had made her the world's most powerful witch.

But... even so...

I will save Madoka. No matter what it takes.

Even as I think this, Walpurgis Nacht is attacking. I leap up into the air, landing like a cat on a nearby lamp post. Walpurgis is angry and lunges at me again, but I jump back onto another lamp post.

This reminds me of the technique I used when I fought Charlotte. Mami Tomoe invades my mind, and there's something cold clawing at my heart. I think it's regret, but I push it away. It was a different Homura Akemi that cried over the loss of "Tomoe-san".

I'm so wrapped up in thoughts that I barely dodge Walpurgis's next attack. I stand there, panting, all too aware that I'm very vulnerable.

Then I hear a voice.

"...Why does she fight so desperately...?" I look up and see Madoka and "Kyubey". Thankfully they're inside, but I can't supervise them now.

This means that it could convince her to make a contract at any moment. Madoka has foolishly tried to make a contract twice now. Suddenly I'm livid. I shout at Walpurgis Nacht, although it's not Madoka. "You idiot! Don't you have ANY value in your life at ALL?! I WANT TO KEEP YOU SAFE! YOU WILL NEVER FIGHT! NEVER!"

It's fine to vent my rage on Walpurgis, as it's my enemy. "You! YOU KILLED MADOKA KANAME!" My whole body burns with fury, and I abandon my cool facade as I launch myself in its direction, my fingers on the trigger of my favourite pistol.

Unfortunately the wretched witch sees it coming, and with a single blow slams me into the ground. I ache all over, and I can feel the energy seeping out of me. Suddenly I'm overwhelmed with helplessness, and I suddenly wish Mami Tomoe, Sayaka Miki and even Kyouko Sakura were here to help me fight. But not Madoka.

I WILL SAVE HER.

"Save Madoka."

The whole purpose of my fight... the reason I made a contract with it...

Everything I did was for my Kaname-san.

It was all for her.

Madoka.
