Episode 1

(Narration)	Amidst the endless tapestry of time and space, this place was but one of a myriad of possibilities that may have existed.
(Narration)	This story is a little memory quietly tucked away in a corner of that possibility.

(Narration)	*Tap*
Kyoko Sakura	Huh?
Homura Akemi	......
Kyoko Sakura	What do you want?
Homura Akemi	Kyoko Sakura.
Homura Akemi	I want to leave this city in your hands.
Kyoko Sakura	So Walpurgisnacht is gonna descend on this city, huh?
Homura Akemi	That's right. I want us to work together until then.
Homura Akemi	And if I am able to defeat Walpurgisnacht...
Homura Akemi	...you will be free to do with this city what you please.
Kyoko Sakura	That doesn't sound like a bad deal to me.
Kyoko Sakura	But who the heck even are you?
Kyoko Sakura	How do you know that Walpurgisnacht is comin'?
Homura Akemi	......
Kyoko Sakura	You wanna team up, even if we can't trust each other.
Kyoko Sakura	Why not show your hand just a little?
Kyoko Sakura	Like tellin' me how that magical device of yours works.
Kyoko Sakura	I mean, I'll get the city once this is done, but you won't get anything outta this deal.
Kyoko Sakura	It sounds too good to be true, so I'm guessin' it is...
Kyoko Sakura	...even if you've got your own reasons for wantin' to protect this place.
Homura Akemi	...I see. Then I'll take care of things on my own.

Kyoko Sakura	(Jeez. What's her problem?)
Kyoko Sakura	Huh?!
♪ Musical track: Agmen Clientum
Kyoko Sakura	What the—?!
Kyoko Sakura	A Witch's Labyrinth! Tch. I let my guard down.
Kyoko Sakura	(I wasn't ready for this.)
Kyoko Sakura	(If this keeps up, it's gonna be a pain...)
Kyoko Sakura	Huh? Did you find this one first?
Homura Akemi	No. I got here at the same time as you.
Homura Akemi	I got caught in it right after I left.
Kyoko Sakura	(So that's the Witch, huh.)
Kyoko Sakura	(But it's got a ton of Familiars.)
Kyoko Sakura	Tch. Guess there's no time to take a breather.
♪ Music stops.
Kyoko Sakura	Dammit. There's way too many of 'em!
Kyoko Sakura	(I'll spend all my energy just takin' out these Familiars at this rate!)
Homura Akemi	Ah!
Kyoko Sakura	(Looks like she' havin' trouble too.)
Kyoko Sakura	(Why doesn't she just explode 'em all like she did before?)
Homura Akemi	Ngh...
Kyoko Sakura	What's wrong? You've been on the defensive the whole time!
Kyoko Sakura	You're really that dead set on not showin' your hand, huh?
Homura Akemi	I need an opening... even if only for a second.
Kyoko Sakura	......
Kyoko Sakura	Tch, not again!
Kyoko Sakura	(We're gettin' nowhere fast!)
Kyoko Sakura	You said you needed an opening, right?
Homura Akemi	Yes. Even a small one is fine.
Kyoko Sakura	All right. When I give the signal, get back!
Kyoko Sakura	I'll defend you against their attack.
Kyoko Sakura	Okay! Now!

Kyoko Sakura	What the—? How'd you get right next to me?!
Homura Akemi	Don't let go of my hand.
Homura Akemi	If you do, time will stop for you as well.
Kyoko Sakura	Time?
Kyoko Sakura	So that means...time's stopped for everyone but us?
Homura Akemi	Exactly.

Kyoko Sakura	Phew...
♪ Musical track: Signum Malum
Kyoko Sakura	Oh, a Grief Seed.
Homura Akemi	That's yours to keep.
Kyoko Sakura	I won't say no to that.
Kyoko Sakura	So, your magic can stop time, huh?
Kyoko Sakura	That means that if you wanted to...
Kyoko Sakura	...you could've beat me any number of times.
Homura Akemi	If that were my goal, I would have done so already.
Homura Akemi	The reason I offered to work with you...
Homura Akemi	...was because I acknowledge how capable you are.
Kyoko Sakura	Oh yeah?
Kyoko Sakura	Sorry to say, but I'm gonna have to refuse this whole "teamwork" thing.
Kyoko Sakura	I get the feelin' you're still hidin' something from me.
Kyoko Sakura	And I just can't work with people when I don't know what they're after.
Kyoko Sakura	If you ever feel like tellin' me the whole story, though, I'll hear you out.
Kyoko Sakura	Later.
Homura Akemi	......
