This page or section is a stub, and needs expansion. You can help Puella Magi Wiki by expanding it.
Madoka stands in a burning city, watching a girl she does not know as she fights to her death against a terrifying monster. A small white creature appears next to her, asking if she wishes to change the destiny of her city, of the girl she is watching. She asks if the creature is being honest, and it replies that it is, encouraging her to become a Magical Girl.
Madoka wakes up in her bed, questioning what she just saw and if it was really a dream. Later, running off to school, she meets with her friends Sayaka Miki and Hitomi Shizuki. Sayaka teases her about her choice of ribbons, and Madoka denies her accusations of trying to "lure in guys". The bell rings, and the three of them rush to class in a panic.
In class, Kazuko Saotome rants about eggs and her ex-boyfriend before introducing the new transfer student, Homura Akemi. Madoka recognizes her from her dream, her surprise only growing when Homura looks directly at her. Sayaka whispers to her about how weird the new student is, and Madoka agrees half-heartedly.
Later, Homura goes up to Madoka and tells her that she isn't feeling well, and needs to go to the nurse's office. In the hall, Madoka asks her if they have ever met somewhere, causing Homura to go into shock. As Madoka tries to wave off her concern, Homura asks her if she values her friends and family. When she responds that she does, she responds in turn that, if she truly does value them, then she shouldn't try to change herself. If she does, she says, then everything that she cares about will be lost.
