As Two Worlds Coincide
"How did you feel?" asked the black-haired girl.
"It felt likehell" answered the man in the lab coat. He paused and took a sip from his bottle of Dr. Pepper. "Whatever you do, the events may change, but the result is the same."
She sighed, gazing upon the sky, she lifted one hand as if to reach for it, "I see".
"Mayuri does that. It's called the Stardust handshake" he told her.
"A handshake with the sky, huh?" she replied, her eyes still fixed on the darkening orange sky of dusk. She placed her outstretched hand near her face as one of the last rays of the sun shone. Turning to the older man and saying, "You're lucky to have them both back", she smiled.
Taking another sip from the bottle of soda, "I know" he replied and smiled back. "I hope you get her back, Homura", Okabe Rintarou said as he patted her shoulder.
"Mm. I hope so."
As the sky grew darker, the shades of yellow, red, and orange disappearing, the two parted ways.
Walking alone to a bus stop back to Mitakihara, Akemi Homura once again looked up at the sky which was now decorated with stars.
"Madoka…" she whispered as tears started to fall.
