Mami's Perspective: That Time Back Then
Everything Akemi-san said turned out to be true. Miki-san has turned into a witch and we killed her just like any other witch.
Kyubey, the only friend I had when I was struggling as a novice, the friend who supported me with ideas to better fight, the friend who comforted me when things went wrong, the friend who helped me cope with my failures whenever I failed to save someone... I have always thought that I became the person I am today, someone who could be proud of herself regardless of the heavy burden I am carrying, thanks to him.
But, it was all a lie. He lied to me, he lied to us all. He has caused the deaths of magical girls and common folk alike. This life that I have dedicated myself to saving people from witches, what will happen to it once I become a witch myself? Will everything I have done get undone after my witch self murders those I have rescued before?
I am tired, I really am. This life I have just lost its meaning. But even so, the least I could do is to atone for our existence and save as many people as I can before I die.
Akemi-san, how strong you are; to be able to continue on even with the knowledge of everything. I doubt you will become a witch. Unfortunately, I can't see the same strength inside me.
Kaname-san, I am sorry. I haven't been a good senior to you, and I don't expect you to forgive me ever for what I am going to do, and that's fine. I am sorry but it needs to be this way.
Kyoko, I am sorry. I am sorry for not being able to protect you, I am sorry for not being able to keep you on the right path. When we have reunited after all this time, I was truly happy to have you by my side. But now, I can see your path. You will abandon us and live your days just like before you have joined us, abandoning people because of your hatred against the world. You and I both know that you have been yearning for the times you have shone under the light, isn't that why you have joined us after all? Now, with Miki-san gone, you will live as a person who can't love herself. Sooner or later you will become a witch, causing countless deaths. I am sorry but I can not allow that.
With tears swelling up in my eyes, I have bound Akemi-san, I aimed at Kyoko's soul gem and pulled the trigger, ending my former pupil's existence. I have then pointed my rifle at Akemi-san, not able to hold back my tears after I have tainted my hands and killed someone I care about.
" Tomoe-san?! "
" If soul gems give birth to witches, we all should die! Both you and I. "
" Stop! "
Now, Kaname-san, show me your resolve. Show me that you have what it takes to live on along with Akemi-san. My death shall be my final lesson to you and may it serve as atonement for my crimes. If you can kill me, your senior who has shown the ropes to you, then you might surpass even me. I don't want my cute juniors to turn into monsters, however cruel my methods may be. It's fine if you never forgive me, I hope you two can find happiness.
