The day I transferred to that school, my life has changed. Everything in my life changed.
I became a close friend to this girl named Kaname Madoka. She was such a nice fellow, but yeah, I can't even help being so clumsy even if I'm around her.
Then, on my way home I met girls who have magical powers called "Puella Magi" and they are fighting some weird monsters called witches…I guess the world finally met its saviors.
One of the girls was my friend Madoka. She was also a Puella Magi, huh?
Mami explained everything to me. About Puella Magi, the witches, a creature named Kyuubey and the so-called strongest witch named Walpurgis Night. They added that they have to fight the Walpurgis in order to save Earth from destruction.
The Walpurgis Night did arrive after a few days. Mami died…and Madoka was forced to battle the witch alone. I tried to stop her, but I can't…and that, she died as well.
It felt like I was the only person living in this world when Madoka died. I was giving up. I had no more choices. It felt like I also needed to die alongside Mami and Madoka who fought their own battles with honor. I wished I could go back in time to save both of them.
Before I could ever feel regret, the white creature named Kyuubey appeared beside me and asked for my wish. Thinking about it in a few seconds, I wished to redo my meeting with Madoka. That's the time I finally got my own Puella Magi powers.
I suddenly went back in time, and I realized I have time-controlling abilities. I practiced hard, even creating explosives and bombs as my primary weapon, until I can fully muster my skills. I was successful.
But even though I became a Puella Magi I still couldn't save Madoka. She died three times in front of me. She even became a witch, a very strong one in front of my very eyes. It was a devastating sight for me.
For the last time I returned back, bringing with me a promise that Madoka forced on me: to stop her from wishing to Kyuubey and save her at the same time. I killed Madoka to be able to stop her from turning into a witch, and it was hard to bear.
When I travelled back again, I immediately warned Madoka about wishing to an unknown creature. Hopefully she followed my warning that evening I dropped by in her room.
Now that leaves me wondering why can't I even save Mami, Kyouko or Sayaka from their deaths. Why only Madoka? Aren't those three girls my friends too? I considered them my friends, why won't I be allowed to save them as well?
Perhaps because my wish was to only save Madoka and none else.
Now, I don't know if I can still save Madoka Kaname. She is my only friend, the only person I put so much importance to. I can't let her die; no matter how long I imprison myself in this time-repeating scale.
Because I am Homura Akemi, a Puella Magi who promised to save Madoka no matter what.
