Homura Residence

Front view of Homura's residence

A name plaque that says 'Homura' in Hiragana. Presumably the kanji for 'Akemi' is offscreen.

Apartment interior. Three of the four walls in the room appear to be a digital displays.

Candles and pillars along the fourth wall.

The residence of Homura Akemi. An aging, European-style building at a Y intersection in a district surrounded by skyscrapers. It is unclear if this is a new building or part of the original town that didn't undergo urban redevelopment. Contrastingly, the interior of Homura's apartment is ultra-modern, and the walls appear to be digital displays of documents pertaining to witches. There is a decoration on the ceiling made of clockwork, and the 'desktop' within the digital display looks like a pair of bladed pendulums. Along a fourth, unseen wall, there is a row of candlesticks and pillars.

Walpurgisnacht Documents

The following is a gallery of the documents on Homura's wall display.

• 

  A woodcut image of a Witch resembling the one from Episode 1. At left, the German word Unbekannt (Unknown or Anonymous) is displayed beneath a scanned image from a Renaissance-period book.

• 

  On a black space between a scan of a Renaissance-era book and a diagram with a sticker that says "Plan A," there is a line of green text that says 1914_Bücher (books?). At center, there is a page with illustrations of what appear to be the humanoid forms of six witches, marked "1/25p." (A similar illustration appears in Episode 4.) At bottom left of the page, "Walpurgisnacht" is printed. At right, there is a drawing of what appears to be the Witch from Episode 1 and a photograph of some circular object (the Moon?).

• 

  Besides Homura's right arm, there is an annotated diagram of a feminine body, whose left half wears a skirt. Beside Homura's left hand, there is a similar image of a feminine figure colored in neon green. Beneath it, in red text, are the words "Walpurgis Nacht."

• 

  At right, there is a passage from Faust. At center, there is a detail of the "Plan A" document, which appears to diagram the movements of some object or being. At bottom right, the neon green feminine figure is displayed in better resolution, appearing to be descending a spiral staircase.

• 

  At top left, there are the words "Bühnentechnik" (stagecraft) and "Gear" in stylized text. Besides, beneath a drawing of the Witch from Episode 1, there is the word EinNarr (german for 'a fool')." A letter or two may be cut off from the beginning.

• 

  At right, an enlarged image of the photograph of the circular object. There appears to be a pattern engraved or printed on it?

Speculations

• The apartment layout might represent a clock of some sort, in line with Homura's time manipulation abilities.
• Homura created the apartment interior with magic.
