Disclaimer: I do not own Madoka. I am however going to see the 3rd movie with my friends today. Hurray for independant theaters.
So how about we become monsters together... And turn this world upside down?
Homura could feel the depression and insanity pulling at her thoughts, but that didn't stop the almost content feeling of knowing that they were going together. Her and Kaname were going to burn it all down. Get rid of everything and no one would ever feel this pain and sorrow. They would be Angels of Mercy. And then, at the end, they would cease to exist, together.
Kaname's arm lay heavy across her's, her soul gem, what remained, nearly black in her hand. She was heavy, heavy and tired and she just wanted it all to end. The world, the pattering rain, the pain she could feel, deep in her heart. The last pink and purple sparkles were dying. Tears fell from her eyes, not from sorrow, but from some deeper emotion. She couldn't feel the water weighting down her hair and clothes. There was only the bubbling, heart-stopping, all-consuming emotion. She could not contain it; the world could not contain it. The only thing that would would be to empty the universe of everything else, and even then she wasn't sure. The weight of Kaname's wrist was the last solid thing she was aware of. They would do it together. They would burn away the rain and flatten the buildings and finally destroy this emotion burning inside them. Homura closed her eyes.
And then the emotion was burning away. Pulled from her, from a place deeper than her heart, and she could again think beyond the burn and the outlash and Kaname beside her. Kaname. Her eyes opened too wide to see Kaname giving her one last smile. Their hands clasped together around the grief seed and her own soul gem.
I lied. I had one after all.
The world would not end, but Homura could feel it burning down around her anyway.
