Episode 1

♪ Musical track: Incertus
Homura Akemi	(With Madoka gone...it's been a while since I've needed to make these.)
Homura Akemi	(I guess you never really forget a routine like this.)
Madoka?	Hey Homura, what are you making?
Homura Akemi	Explosives. The process is rather dangerous, so make sure to keep your hands to yourself.
Madoka?	Wow... So this is how bombs are made.
Madoka?	That's amazing, Homura. You can make anything!
Homura Akemi	Even Wraiths can be sarcastic, it seems.
Homura Akemi	I thought I could handle things by myself, but in the end I lost to the giant Wraith...
Homura Akemi	...and ended up robbed of my means of fighting.
Madoka?	Huh? No, I didn't mean it like that at all!
Madoka?	You used these bombs when you fought Witches with Madoka, right?
Madoka?	You were so happy when you defeated a Witch for the first time.
Homura Akemi	Having my own memories relayed to me by a Wraith is...strange, to say the least.
Homura Akemi	What makes things worse is that you perfectly mimic both Madoka's voice and appearance.
Madoka?	You can go ahead and treat me like the real Madoka if you want, you know?
Homura Akemi	This bomb... I used a prototype against a mutant Wraith the other day to great effect.
Homura Akemi	It's safe to say that one of these will be plenty lethal.
Madoka?	Make sure not to use them on me, okay?
Homura Akemi	I'm just kidding... For now at least.
Madoka?	You seem to act pretty mean towards everyone except Madoka.
Homura Akemi	Is that so?
Homura Akemi	(Before this world was altered, my magic could stop time itself.)
Homura Akemi	(While powerful, it was not suitable for fighting Witches alone.)
Homura Akemi	(But when I learned how to slay Witches...)
Homura Akemi	(...and defeated one on my own using nothing but my own powers, I was so happy.)
Homura Akemi	(Madoka was happy for me too... That feels like the distant past now.)
Homura Akemi	(But these memories are definitely real. At least...they should be...)

Episode 2

♪ Musical track: Signum Malum
Mami Tomoe	Regarding the mutant Wraith that appeared the other day.
Mami Tomoe	I hear a "fake Sayaka" has appeared in your territory, right, Kyoko?
Kyoko Sakura	Yup. It's actin' weirder each day, and when I went to confront it, it retaliated.
Kyoko Sakura	Sayaka's friend... What's her name again?
Kyoko Sakura	Sayaka definitely ain't the type who'd speak like that thing did to her friend.
Mami Tomoe	Wraiths that mess with people's minds... We never had anything like that before, huh.
Kyoko Sakura	You been seeing the same, Mami?
Mami Tomoe	Yes. Even knowing that it's not possible, and must be a sham...
Mami Tomoe	...seeing "fake" friends or family members is hard to bear.
Kyoko Sakura	Tch... Their underhanded tactics are so annoying!
Kyoko Sakura	Fightin' Wraiths should be a simple head-to-head battle.
Mami Tomoe	Perhaps that "thing" wasn't a Wraith at all...
Kyoko Sakura	What do ya mean by that?
Mami Tomoe	While there is no doubt that it was a Wraith...
Mami Tomoe	It might be better to say that it was in the middle of changing into something else.
Kyoko Sakura	All because it absorbed Homura's magic? Hmm...
Kyoko Sakura	Are you sayin' a massive "Homura Wraith" might appear and try to destroy the city?
Mami Tomoe	It's not out of the question, although just the thought of it is scary enough...

Madoka?	Tonight's patrol is along this route. Let's go!
Homura Akemi	Hey, wait!
Madoka?	What's wrong? Did it hurt when I grabbed you? Sorry, I don't really know how to hold back.
♪ Music stops.
Homura Akemi	No, that's not it...
♪ Musical track: Quamobrem?
Homura Akemi	Your hand... There's no warmth to it...
Madoka?	Well...I am a Wraith after all.
Madoka?	You miss Madoka's warmth, don't you, Homura?
Homura Akemi	......
Homura Akemi	(The last time I felt Madoka was when she entrusted her ribbon to me.)
Homura Akemi	(No matter how much I desire it, I will never get to feel her warmth again.)
Madoka?	If you really wanted to meet her, you should be able to, right?
Homura Akemi	What do you mean?
Madoka?	If you use up all of your Soul Gem's magic, then "she" will come and see you, won't she?
Homura Akemi	You're saying I should expend all of my magic fighting Wraiths? Just to see Madoka again?
Homura Akemi	There's no way she would forgive me for that.
Homura Akemi	And I'm not even sure if I would get to see her...
Madoka?	I'm sure you'll meet her again.
Madoka?	Otherwise, all you've worked for until now would be for nothing, right?
Homura Akemi	Well...
Madoka?	Hey, what would you do if you got to see her again?
Homura Akemi	What would I do? The Law of Cycles appears when Magical Girls have met their end.
Homura Akemi	Even if we reunited, it's not as if we could end up living a happy, ordinary life.
Madoka?	That's right. We still have no idea what the future holds.
Homura Akemi	Huh?
Madoka?	For now, let's search for that giant Wraith!
Homura Akemi	R-right...
Madoka?	......
