[ it's a wonder she survived going out in the storm to look for Tomoe Mami and Madoka. ] I found her, but ... I asked her to run. To do anything other than fight alone and die for it. I tried to tell her that something like that wasn't her responsibility alone, that there was nothing left we could do. That no one would blame her for not trying to fight an impossible battle.
She just smiled at me. She told me she was happy to have been friends, that saving me was one of the things she was the most proud of ... and then said goodbye.

I wanted to try to repay that kindness, somehow. Some way. I wished she could have lived, somehow, because it wasn't fair that she didn't, and that someone like me was still alive instead. I wanted a second chance. I wanted to be strong enough to protect her, the way she protected me.
But there is a being in my world who grants these desperate wishes, and it was in their interest to have these wishes turn against the ones who made them. None of us knew that back then.
