VII.

Homura gets her bearings eventually.

She has plenty of time so long as she stops it. And she can stop it. She just can't move it and that is, that is…

Not ideal.

Her soul gem is fine, a little dark, of course. But she kills a witch ( a little girl, call it what it is, that is a little girl.) and fixes that for the moment. It seems grimier than usual, much grimier.

She can't worry about it. She has to save Madoka.

That's all that matters, that's all that gives her life meaning.
