Summary
Day 1
Mabayu Aki dreams of something piercing her stomach, then pain and then ceasing to exist. An alarm rings, waking her up in fright. It must have been a dream, no matter how real it seemed. In the dream she had died but clearly she's alive right now. But how odd: the movie sitting in her room is the one she rented about three weeks ago and it has a due date of the 16th. Mabayu freaks out for a moment thinking the movie was over a month late, but according to the calendar today is the 16th of last month. Maybe her dream was about the future?
She feels so behind. Today she had to do the make-up exam that she had in her dream. Her dream had seemed so real and she can recall everything in the dream exactly the way it was. But the part about magical girls fighting witches is too fantastical to not be a dream. As Mabayu lets her mind wander, Mami Tomoe walks up to her and asks about a book she wanted to borrow. Mabayu recalls Mami being a magical girl that even threatened her life, but she also remembers Mami asking to borrow a book in the dream too. Was it a precognitive dream then? Impossible.
In class it's the same material they covered in her dream. She remembers in her dream a voice had called her name, prompting her to stand in surprise and get called on by the teacher. This time Mabayu is determined to stay awake and listen for the voice, but the voice never comes and the question she had been called on to answer before comes and goes. If it were a prophetic dream, a time stop would have happened by now. And just like that time stops. Mabayu notes that this time, time didn't stop at the exact same moment as before. But if time is stopping, then does that mean magical girls really do exist? If that's true, then Mami should be... But no, Mami is as frozen in time as all the rest. If that's the case, then Mami isn't the one who's stopping time. Then it must have been a dream, except for the fact that time is currently frozen. None of this makes any sense.
Later that evening, Mabayu is working her usual shift at the café. After attending to a customer, her aunt approaches her. Before she can even speak, Mabayu cuts her off and tells her she needs to hire proper part-time help if she needs someone to help with a few more shifts. Sakie giggles nervously and asks how she got found out, so Mabayu smiles replies she can predict the future. Sakie stares at her with wide eyes for a moment before Mabayu then tells her she was just joking and asks if Sakie believes in precognitive dreams. Sakie immediately replies that such things don't exist and it's better to live in the present without being distracted by such things. Mabayu is taken back by Sakie's sudden strong conviction in contrast to her usual lackadaisical attitude.
