Eighth Leap [Text]

[heartovertime]

[A short note appears on the Vine not long after the Gardens calm down once again. It's not perfectly written but nor is it exactly sloppy, instead leaning slightly towards the former, with a couple shakier words towards the middle.]

Sorry for not saying anything the previous time to most of you, but... I suppose I should write it this time. In any case, Madoka Kaname seems to have left here again.

Sorry for any problems this might create.

-Homura Akemi

[It's more than Homura gives in turn, her bangs hanging in front of her closed eyes as they are directed down to her lap. Whether or not she heard Sayaka's question, she doesn't give a response.]

[Okay, that was an odd thing to hear. But it has to be Homura freaking out. There's no way she'd know that for sure. Yeah, that makes sense.]

Now look, life back there wasn't exactly the best, but that doesn't mean any other Madoka would be like that.

Besides... I'm dead and worse.

No...No, you aren't...

But I was supposed to protect her... [She had made her wish. Madoka coming back from being that towering witch...it seems like it's impossible. But even if it is, she had let her turn into that. She hadn't known better, and Madoka, as self-sacrificing as she is, probably wouldn't think less of her. But in this moment of weakness, it's easy to latch on to that, amplifying her own faults.]

[She has her own objections to what was just said, but this isn't about Sayaka, so she drops that line of conversation.]

And you have. [Sayaka is saying all that she has seen, and that's her call on it.]
