There are a countless number of stars in the sky. An infinite number. They are endless. They shine brightest in the darkest nights. Even when you can't see them, they are still there. Even if you can't see their light, they are still there. They will always be there, even if you don't know it.
Just like Madoka Kaname.
Madoka was the stars in the night. Shining even in the darkness. Bright and shining and guiding Homura's path. She's still there. She's still by her side. That's what Madoka said. That's what Homura wants to believe.
The sky is dark and the stars are bright. It's a quiet night, a peaceful one. It's the world she wanted to save. She wants to believe that Madoka is beside her, right now. Looking up at the stars with her. She wants to believe that Madoka isn't really gone. But she is, isn't she?
She says she is still by her side. Homura wants to believe her, but it's hard. No one remembers. No one else. How can you be sure that someone is real if no one else remembers them?
Homura takes the ribbon out of her hair. The only confirmation that Madoka was real. That is the only proof of her existence. That's all she has to guide her. That and her memories. That and the stars. That and her heart. Those are the only reasons she has to believe that Madoka existed.
Homura wants to believe that Madoka is still by her side, but, if she's not, she wants to believe that she's among the stars. Madoka is the stars in the night. Only visible in the darkness. Bright, shining, light. Still there, even if you can't see her. Still there, even if you don't know it. All she has to guide her now is her memories, the stars, the hope that Madoka really is happy. She wants to believe it. She believes it.
She spots a familiar figure in the sky. In the stars there is an outline of a girl with a bow. Perhaps it is just her imagination. Perhaps Madoka really is among the stars.
One day Homura will join Madoka among the stars.
One day she will be by her side.
Homura wants to believe that it's true.
She's certain it is.
It's written in the stars.
