Puella Pictura Exp (Story)_Madoka Magica_Normal_01

A-Q	Looks like you're all done exploring your first Window Into Memory.
A-Q	After going through those Memsparks, did you happen to find what you lost?
Name	No...
Name	But I felt a new emotion.
Name	Thoughts wouldn't stop running through my mind every which way...
Name	It felt like I was going in circles and yet standing still.
A-Q	Perhaps you were feeling confounded.
Name	Con...founded?
A-Q	It's what you feel when you can't decide what to think, so you don't know what to do.
Name	I see...
Name	I wonder why I was smiling though.
A-Q	When were you smiling?
Name	It was when I felt confounded. At the same time, my heart felt lighter somehow.
A-Q	And that's what you call happiness.
A-Q	I'm sure of it! Because you gained an emotion that will become a building block to your self.
Name	So if I gain more emotions, I can become happier then?
A-Q	Basically, if anything good comes your way, you'll definitely feel happiness!
Name	...I want to collect more Memsparks.
A-Q	I'd better go and get the next Window all ready for you then.
A-Q	Thanks to you, the Lighthouse is looking brighter...
A-Q	...and another Puella Pictura will be unlocked in no time!

A-Q	Well? Do you feel anything after collecting some more Memsparks?
Name	Yes. I felt I wanted to be like someone.
Name	Something about them touched me deeply. Seeing her was like gazing upon a star in the sky.
A-Q	If you're feeling drawn to someone like that, the emotion's likely awe.
Name	...Awe?
A-Q	It's when you think someone is amazing, so you look up to them.
A-Q	I'm thinking you got in touch with a pretty wonderful Magical Girl through the Memsparks.
Name	Do you think I was in awe of someone? Was I a Magical Girl others looked up to?
A-Q	I can't say. But I'm sure you were an excellent Magical Girl.
Name	I can't be sure though...
A-Q	Well, we'll never know unless you keep collecting lots of Memsparks!
A-Q	I'd better go and get the next Window all ready for you then.
A-Q	Thanks to you, the Lighthouse is looking brighter...
A-Q	...and another Puella Pictura will be unlocked in no time!

Puella Pictura Exp (Story)_Madoka Magica_Normal_03

A-Q	Well? Do you feel anything after collecting some more Memsparks?
Name	It feels like there's something bubbling inside me...
A-Q	What you felt was those girls thinking of their wish.
A-Q	They're not sure what to do, so you might be experiencing the same thing.
Name	Is this...a kind of emotion?
A-Q	It's more like what happens when you feel anxious and uneasy.
Name	It's exhausting... I don't want to feel this way.
A-Q	Don't say that. Worrying about something means you have a goal.
A-Q	And since you're empty inside, you need one of those—and to think hard about how you're going to achieve it.
A-Q	Besides, even if you don't want to feel this way, you will at some point.
Name	Why is that?
A-Q	Because even though you're gathering Memsparks to make a new you...
A-Q	...there's still a chance you'll find your true self.
Name	Okay.
A-Q	You don't get it, do you?
A-Q	What I mean is, there will come a time when you have to choose between the old you and the new one.
A-Q	I'd better go and get the next Window all ready for you then.
A-Q	Thanks to you, the Lighthouse is looking brighter...
A-Q	...and another Puella Pictura will be unlocked in no time!

Puella Pictura Exp (Story)_Madoka Magica_Normal_04

A-Q	Well? Do you feel anything after collecting some more Memsparks?
Name	......
A-Q	I understand that sinking feeling. Can you put it into words?
Name	At first, I felt warm. Like I was floating on air.
Name	But then everything came crashing down...
Name	I'm not sure how to feel. It's like... something turned cold deep inside of me.
A-Q	With such a difference in emotions, that might be what we call "shock."
Name	Shock?
A-Q	It's a mixture of the surprise you feel when the unexpected happens...
A-Q	...and the confusion you feel when faced with a difficult situation.
Name	I wonder what happened...in the light...
A-Q	It seems like you've lost the admiration you once had for them.
Name	Is this the world Magical Girls live in? A world where life and death lie in wait?
A-Q	That's right. It's a cruel reality where every day could be their last.
A-Q	I'd better go and get the next Window all ready for you then.
A-Q	Thanks to you, the Lighthouse is looking brighter...
A-Q	...and another Puella Pictura will be unlocked in no time!

Puella Pictura Exp (Story)_Madoka Magica_Normal_05

A-Q	Well? Do you feel anything after collecting some more Memsparks?
Name	I feel like there's a big hole inside of me, and everything around me is blurry...
Name	Is this what it feels like when someone you respect dies?
A-Q	That's right.
A-Q	When something that filled your heart goes away, or your values diverge from those around you...
A-Q	...people start to feel empty. They become a shell of who they used to be.
Name	Death, shock, emptiness... I'm not sure I want to keep gathering these Memsparks.
A-Q	It's okay if you want to stop, but it won't make that uncertainty go away.
Name	Why not?
A-Q	When you signed up to gather Memsparks with me...
A-Q	...do you remember how you felt?
Name	Oh.
Name	I felt uncertain... I wanted to find what I lost.
Name	And if you leave, I'll feel empty...
A-Q	Then you know what you have to do.
Name	Keep collecting Memsparks.
A-Q	Right. So don't go forgetting what uncertainty and emptiness feel like.
A-Q	I'd better go and get the next Window all ready for you then.
A-Q	Thanks to you, the Lighthouse is looking brighter...
A-Q	...and another Puella Pictura will be unlocked in no time!

Puella Pictura Exp (Story)_Madoka Magica_Normal_06

A-Q	Well? Do you feel anything after collecting some more Memsparks?
Name	Aaargh!
A-Q	Whoa! What was that about?
Name	This is so annoying! I'm so mad!
Name	Grrr!
A-Q	Ahaha! It looks like you're angry!
Name	I feel like I'm going to explode...
A-Q	Okay, first let's take some deep breaths.
A-Q	In... Out... In... Out...
Name	In... Out...
A-Q	So is there a reason you got so worked up?
Name	Hmm... I don't think so, actually...
A-Q	Well, it was still a great emotional outburst. But I'm glad you've calmed down.
A-Q	People get angry when their feelings are hurt, so it's sometimes difficult to control.
Name	I know what you mean...
A-Q	I don't mind you taking what you feel from the Memsparks as your own, but...
A-Q	...remember they're collections of feelings from Magical Girls.
A-Q	You shouldn't let them influence you too much, or else you might lose sight of who you really are.
Name	I'll be more careful...
A-Q	I'd better go and get the next Window all ready for you then.
A-Q	Thanks to you, the Lighthouse is looking brighter...

Puella Pictura Exp (Story)_Madoka Magica_Normal_07

A-Q	Well? Do you feel anything after collecting some more Memsparks?
Name	It's so hard to accept the things I saw and heard...
Name	All I can do is stare as they sit in front of me...
A-Q	I see...
Name	Can I look for more Memsparks?
A-Q	Huh?
Name	Will I find what I lost? Am I growing at all?
A-Q	Oh... It looks like their doubts are affecting you.
A-Q	But don't worry. Everything's all right.
A-Q	The more emotions you learned, the more you've grown as a person.
A-Q	The fact that you're being affected like this just proves it.
Name	I'm being affected?
A-Q	Well, you are empty, so I guess it was bound to happen.
Name	Really?
A-Q	Of course. After all, any Magical Girl could be you.
A-Q	It makes sense that you feel what they feel and get swept up in those emotions.
Name	I see...
A-Q	I'd better go and get the next Window all ready for you then.
A-Q	Thanks to you, the Lighthouse is looking brighter...
A-Q	...and another Puella Pictura will be unlocked in no time!

Puella Pictura Exp (Story)_Madoka Magica_Normal_08

A-Q	Well? Do you feel anything after collecting some more Memsparks?
Name	I feel like there's something yucky growing inside of me...
A-Q	Something yucky?
Name	It's grimy. And when I try to get rid of it, it hurts.
Name	And the more I try to get rid of it, the bigger and grimier it gets.
Name	I hate that I can't do anything about it...
A-Q	What you're feeling is disgust and self-hate...
A-Q	But you have to make sure it doesn't affect you.
A-Q	There's no reason to hate yourself as you are now.
Name	Even if I can't find what I lost? Even if I never grow?
A-Q	Of course. You're gathering Memsparks.
A-Q	You've been a big help with the Lighthouse.
A-Q	You get full points just for being here.
Name	So I'm...helpful.
A-Q	I'd better go and get the next Window all ready for you then.
A-Q	Thanks to you, the Lighthouse is looking brighter...
A-Q	...and another Puella Pictura will be unlocked in no time!

Puella Pictura Exp (Story)_Madoka Magica_Normal_09

A-Q	Well? Do you feel anything after collecting some more Memsparks?
A-Q	Are you okay?
Name	Yeah...
Name	Observe...from a distance... I'm...helpful...
Name	If you hadn't said those words to me, I might have been lost...
A-Q	I was afraid this would happen.
A-Q	But it's even worse than I thought.
Name	That griminess I felt inside of me just...started overflowing.
Name	I was enveloped in darkness... and started sinking deeper and deeper...
Name	I didn't care what happened anymore...
A-Q	When you're closed in on all sides after a long fight, you make one final push in the face of defeat.
A-Q	That desperation is such an incredible emotion. It really makes you feel alive.
Name	Why do you look so happy?
Name	Because even though you felt what it was like to die, grow angry, and break...
A-Q	...you were able to withstand those emotions pretty well.
A-Q	Do you want to stop gathering Memsparks now?
Name	No. I like being helpful.
Name	What's more, I want to do something for these Memsparks in return...
A-Q	I'd better go and get the next Window all ready for you then.
A-Q	Thanks to you, the Lighthouse is looking brighter...
A-Q	...and another Puella Pictura will be unlocked in no time!

Puella Pictura Exp (Story)_Madoka Magica_Normal_10

A-Q	Well? Do you feel anything after collecting some more Memsparks?
A-Q	Were you able to control yourself this time too?
Name	Yes. It felt like something was burning, but...not in a bad way. It was warm.
Name	And it gently wrapped up all that griminess from before...
Name	Is this the same as making someone's feelings my own?
A-Q	A kindness that relates to another, almost like compassion...
A-Q	I think what you might be feeling is sympathy.
Name	Sympathy?
A-Q	Putting yourself in someone else's shoes and letting them know you understand.
A-Q	It's beautiful, isn't it? I'd like to cuddle up to this fuzzy feeling.
Name	Beautiful... Just like the Lighthouse.
A-Q	If remembering those Magical Girls who were toyed with by fate is considered sympathy...
A-Q	...then you might say it's beautiful too.
Name	I see...
Name	I wonder if wanting to do something for the Memsparks is also considered sympathy...
A-Q	I'd better go and get the next Window all ready for you then.
A-Q	Thanks to you, the Lighthouse is looking brighter...

Puella Pictura Exp (Story)_Madoka Magica_Normal_11

A-Q	Well? Do you feel anything after collecting some more Memsparks?
Name	I felt warm and happy...
Name	But then suddenly it got cold and everything went dark.
Name	I probably couldn't see because my eyes were overflowing with emotion...
A-Q	It sounds like you were overcome with sadness and started crying.
Name	So I was crying...in sadness...
A-Q	You definitely felt what it was like to lose something precious.
A-Q	Try to imagine what that feels like for yourself.
Name	......
Name	If I think about the Memsparks disappearing...
Name	...I feel really sad.
A-Q	I want you to remember that clenching in your chest just now.
A-Q	So that there won't come a time when these Memsparks suddenly fade away.
Name	Right.
A-Q	I'd better go and get the next Window all ready for you then.
A-Q	Thanks to you, the Lighthouse is looking brighter...

Puella Pictura Exp (Story)_Madoka Magica_Normal_12

A-Q	Well? Do you feel anything after collecting some more Memsparks?
Name	It feels like I'm really focused on reaching a single point...
Name	I could feel something hard as a rock inside of my chest...
A-Q	That's probably determination— a resolve to do something.
A-Q	It's a strong crystal that will never break.
A-Q	And the more pressure applied to it, the more that emotion grows in strength.
A-Q	When strength swells enough to overflow, the crystal's brilliance and beauty grow as well.
A-Q	And if you keep one of these crystals in your heart, too, I'm sure it will become your power.
Name	Will it stay that way forever? It won't disappear?
A-Q	Emotions are always changing, but some things stay the same if the conditions are right.
A-Q	And the stronger your resolve is, the longer it sticks around.
A-Q	Why do you ask?
Name	No reason.
A-Q	I'd better go and get the next Window all ready for you then.
A-Q	Thanks to you, the Lighthouse is looking brighter...

Puella Pictura Exp (Story)_Madoka Magica_Normal_13

A-Q	Well? Do you feel anything after collecting some more Memsparks?
Name	There were so many emotions, I'm not sure how to describe it...
A-Q	Was it confusion you felt?
Name	No... It wasn't just one thing. There was anger and sadness too.
Name	And they all got squeezed together into one really hot and hard mass.
A-Q	It sounds like some emotions melded together to create a new one.
A-Q	You asked me about it before.
Name	I did?
A-Q	It's called conviction—the determination to make an unwavering decision.
A-Q	It's what keeps you looking for what you lost.
Name	So that's what pushes people forward...
A-Q	......
Name	What is it?
A-Q	You're more than just a helper. You're actually quite entertaining.
Name	Is that a good thing?
A-Q	It sure is.
A-Q	I'd better go and get the next Window all ready for you then.
A-Q	Thanks to you, the Lighthouse is looking brighter...
A-Q	...and another Puella Pictura will be unlocked in no time!

Puella Pictura Exp (Story)_Madoka Magica_Normal_14

A-Q	Did you find what you lost in the end?
Name	No.
A-Q	Oh...
A-Q	That's too bad, but I guess it can't be helped. What are you going to do now?
Name	I'm going to keep gathering Memsparks.
A-Q	So you're not going to keep looking for what you lost, then.
A-Q	Does that mean you don't care about it anymore?
Name	No.
Name	It's still important to me, but it's not the only thing that matters now.
A-Q	Oh really?
Name	Hey, A-Q...
Name	Was the Lighthouse brighter in the past?
A-Q	Why do you ask?
Name	I want to know if the Memsparks have ever gone dark before.
A-Q	Well, they have. I knew you'd realize that someday.
Name	When we first met at the Lighthouse, you said the light had returned.
Name	But what would have happened if the Memsparks never came back?
A-Q	I'm not sure, but Memsparks are proof of the lives Magical Girls lived.
A-Q	If they disappeared, then those memories...
A-Q	...would probably vanish from the universe.
Name	In that case, I'm going to find all the Memsparks out there.
Name	Then we'll protect the Lighthouse together.
A-Q	Is that the other important thing you mentioned before?
Name	Yes.
Name	When I thought about what I could do for these Memsparks, I realized I wanted to protect them.
Name	At first, I wasn't sure if that was enough.
Name	But after what I felt through that last Window, I decided that's what I'm going to do.
A-Q	What did you feel in there?
Name	Like I wanted to protect everything and clasp it to me tightly.
Name	I was filled with warmth, and the thought of saving them made my heart flutter.
Name	It wasn't like I was being affected by their feelings.
Name	It happened inside of me while I was watching from afar.
A-Q	Ahaha! What a beautiful story! That's marvelous!
A-Q	It sounds like you've got yourself a compassionate heart.
Name	What's that?
A-Q	It's a mixture of the affection you feel toward something precious and cute...
A-Q	...the sympathy you have for its struggle, and your heartfelt desire to protect it.
A-Q	When all of these come together, you get an emotion that's brimming with kindness!
A-Q	How interesting. In the end, you managed to fill your heart with compassion.
A-Q	But what about the thing you lost?
Name	Because I'm empty, everyone's memories are my memories.
Name	That's why if I find all the Memsparks and look after them...
Name	...it will be like looking after the me that I lost.
A-Q	That means you're choosing the new you over the old one?
Name	Yes.
Name	I don't mind staying as the version of me that you named.
A-Q	Well, you're more than welcome to keep collecting Memsparks.
A-Q	If you're really fine with that, you won't hear me complaining.
A-Q	It looks like we have a long journey ahead of us.
Name	Yes.
Name	Thank you for teaching me about the Memsparks and emotions.
A-Q	You don't need to thank me. I've been enjoying myself.
Name	Well, if you say so.
A-Q	This is still just the beginning. I look forward to seeing what else is in store for you.
