Just the start

She remembered that day like it was yesterday.


Homura remembered that day like it was yesterday.

She watched Madoka's back all the way as they were heading to the infirmary.

"My name is Kaname Madoka. You can call me Madoka!"

Homura couldn't believe her ears, but she blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment. This was the first time she felt so... relief and happy,

That moment was like a beautiful memory to her.

.

Homura remembered that day like it was yesterday.

When she thought her life was going to end, it was actually the beginning.

"They're magical girls." This cat like creature said.

Ever since then, she started hanging out with the two new-found friend and that was when she realized that she was no longer alone.

It was the start of her new life.

.

Homura remembered that day like it was yesterday.

Mami was dead, and all there was left was Madoka.

"I have to protect everyone." Madoka claimed.

Selflessly, Madoka went and fight for others, even though she knew she would lose. Selfishly, Madoka left Homura all alone with a burden and a grief to carry.

It was all just a repeated cycle.

.

Homura remembered that day like it was yesterday.

Madoka suddenly came running towards her and gave her a tight hug that made Homura almost run out of air.

"You did great Homura-chan!" Madoka exclaimed and beamed. "I knew you can do it!"

And that day, Homura smiled. Finally feeling that she was worth something, or maybe she wasn't at useless as she seems.

For once, Homura felt that living wasn't so bad after all.

.

Homura remembered that day like it was yesterday.

Everything came crumbling down and Madoka was screaming in pain before she lifted her soul gem that turned into a grief seed, and a witch appeared.

"Why..." Homura's eyes wavered in fear. "How could this happen?!"

And that day, Homura knew the truth. The witches that they are killing were just the remains of the grief of a dead magical girl.

This tragedy would never end.

.

Homura remembered that day like it was yesterday.

Madoka sacrifice her last grief seed on her, someone weak, clumsy and useless. But it was because only she could do the only think Madoka begged Homura to do.

"You can change history, so that it won't end like this, right?"

And that day, Homura only knew what her life was meant for. To go through everything to save that one and only friend of hers in this world

It was the start of everything.

.

Homura remmebered that day like it was yesterday.

It was the first time since forever that Homura get to be so close to Madoka and talking to her although the topic of the conversation wasn't something pleasant.

"P-Please... just let me protect you!" Homura cried out.

She didn't know if her words ever reached Madoka or not, but all she could do was to beg in her heart that everything could be done in this timeline.

The only thing she could do was to pray.

.

Homura remembered that day like it was yesterday.

That warm embrace that bade goodbye to her forever, leaving Homura nothing but a memory and a piece of ribbon.

"I'll see you one day again, Homura-chan." Then Madoka fade to the dust.

And that day, Homura appeared in a new world. All she had was that small strength to say the name of the person she had been dying hundred of times to protect.

All was lost, and Homura didn't know what to do anymore.
