Magia Exedra Heartphial Story - Kyoko Sakura - The Path I Chose
The Path I Chose (これが、あたしの生き方) is Kyoko Sakura's Heartphial Story in Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra.
Story
Kyoko Sakura reflects on how even though she knows the truth about Magical Girls, she refuses to change. She uses her powers for herself and only sticks with others by choice.
Kyoko observes Mami and a new Magical Girl from a distance. She considers heading to the arcade to practice dance moves. A young girl drops an apple, and Kyoko catches it. The girl's mother thanks her, and the girl calls her "big sis." The memory reminds Kyoko of a time when even an apple was a feast for her family.
Kyoko reflects on her childhood. Her family was poor but happy. Now they are all gone because of her. She senses a Witch and enters its Labyrinth. Familiars overwhelm her, and she is unable to reach the Witch. She realizes she used too much magic and decides to retreat. The Labyrinth disappears, and the Witch escapes, leaving Kyoko frustrated.
Kyoko practices dance moves at the arcade. Mami finds her and asks if she noticed anything unusual. Kyoko says she fought a Witch earlier but it escaped. Mami offers to team up. Kyoko refuses, saying she does not use her magic for others unlike Mami.
Kyoko thinks about the Witch and how she could have drawn away the Familiars if she still had her illusion magic. She remembers when she was like Mami, using magic to help others because of her father's teachings. Her wish to make everyone listen to her father led to his death and the destruction of her family. Since then, she has been unable to create illusions. She vows never to use her magic to help others again and decides to carve her own path with just her spear.
Kyoko sees the young girl from earlier with a Witch's Kiss. She follows her into the Labyrinth though the girl is unconscious, and Familiars surround Kyoko. She fights them while trying to protect the girl.
Mami arrives and offers to help. Kyoko refuses. She is overwhelmed by the Familiars. A Familiar attacks her from behind, and she is injured. She plays dead to draw them in, then attacks. She defeats all the Familiars and the Witch.
Mami is relieved Kyoko is alive. Kyoko says she took them all down herself. Mami tells her not to push herself in the future. Kyoko says she lives for herself and will do what she wants. The girl's mother arrives and Kyoko asks Mami to take credit for the rescue. She did it as thanks for the apple the girl gave her earlier, but she does not want anyone thinking she is a good person.
