Original Dialogue
Homura
I had a very scary dream.
ほむら
私ね、とても怖い夢を見たの。
Madoka
A scary dream?
まどか
夢?
Homura
In that dream Madoka went to a place far away, a place that I could never reach. I was the only one who remembered Madoka, I was lonely and in pain. However no else understood my feeling. In the end I doubted whether or not the Madoka I remembered ever existed in the first place or just that something I imagined.
Because it's me. If that it's something that even Homura-chan started to cry about, I would never be able to endure it.
まどか
だって私だよ?ほむらちゃんでさえ泣いちゃうような辛いこと、わたしが我慢できるわけないじゃない。
Homura
That is also something that is unbearable to you?
ほむら
あなたにとっても、それは我慢できないほど辛いこと?
Madoka
That is right, Homura-chan Sayaka-chan, Mami-san, Kyouko-chan, papa, mama, Tatsuya and Hitomi-chan and the rest of the class, I don't want to part with any of you. Even if that is something I must do, I would not have the courage to go through when the time comes.
Are these your true feelings then? Then I was a fool to have misunderstood it. I should not have approved. I should have used every possible mean to stop you back then.
I know.. that you are kind to everyone and not afraid of making choices. When you feel that there is something that only you can do, you would not hesitate even if it means hurting yourself.
As I thought... you didn't remember it. Once I thought you were just a mirage... a construct made by someone else. How else would I have been able to meet you again like this? But I know, you definitely are the real Madoka. I am really happy, to be able to speak to you again, to be able to feel your gentleness like this once more. Thank you, this is more than enough happiness for me. I need to go now, there are still much to be done.
Even though you shouldnt have wanted to know the truth, but you can't help but chase after it. Human curiosity is really illogical. Well, I have long thought that you would have found the answer, Akemi Homura.
Incubator, of course you are the one behind all this.
ほむら
インキュベーター。やっぱり何もかも、あなたの仕業だったのね。
Kyubey
The question is thus, where exactly is your life and soul located. Well, let me show you the answer.
キュゥべえ
残こる疑問は、君の命と魂は、今どこにあるのかだよね?その答えは、僕が教えてあげる。
Kyubey
This is what is beyond the boundary of this fake Mitakihara, your condition in the real world.
キュゥべえ
これがこの偽物の見滝原市の外側、現実世界の君の姿だよ。
Homura
How!!
ほむら
そんな!?
Kyubey
We created a barrier field surronding your soul gem that prevented all intereference from outside. What will happen when we seal off a soul gem that is darkened to the limit?
When we isolate it from the power that purifies and ascends magic girls, the power that you called 'laws of cycle' then what will happen to the soul gem? The resulting observation is indeed rather fascinating. An isolated dimension was formed with its own independent law that seeks to guide and capture victims from the outside... This match what you have previously explained, the power of a 'witch'. So long as you are protected by the isolation field, then you would not become a full 'witch'. Like a chick who grew up within its own shell. That is why you formed a labryinth within. It's quite shocking that it is fully capable of replicating and reproducing an entire city. This place we are at right now, is a world existing solely within your own soul gem.
That is due to our adjustment. The isolation field will only stop interference from one direction. Even though it will reject all attempts from the outside, it is still possible to guide a victim in from the inside. Only targets that your witch side unconsciously seeks will enter this world. After such limitation, if the force known as 'law of cycle' seeks to contact Akemi Homura still. Then the only way it will enter is through being captured by the labyrinth as a victim and be forced to materialize in this world. In that case, us Incubator will then finally be able to ascertain the puzzle behind magic girl's disappearance, and observe it directly. In fact, the characters that existed in the real world already joined in strange ways. What is more fascinating, a girl that neither existed in past memory nor future possibility, someone who should have no connection, no cause or effect to this world, joined seemlessly in your world. Well, there was never any need to search, from the begining you have made things easier for us, Akemi Homura. Even before this all started, you have always called the 'law of cycles' by the name of Kaname Madoka.
The only troublesome point was that, it does not appear that Kaname Madoka possess any unique power. It seems that the memory control effect produced by the labryinth is effective even against Madoka. Not only has she forgot the purpose of providing salvation to you, she even forgot her true identity and power. As such we had no way of progression.
Kaname Madoka forgot her identity as goddess, Akemi Homura forgot her identity as 'witch'. Due to this circumstance we are forced to run around in circle meaninglessly. Well, even though we were intending on waiting for the chick to break its shell, but since now that you have come to the truth, it should make things easier to upset the status quo. Now then Akemi Homura, just seek the help of Madoka, that way she will remember her own identiy, and the reason why she came here.
Of course it's to observe the force,'law of cycle', that is only a theory up till now.
キュゥべえ
もちろん、今まで仮説にすぎなかった「円環の理」を、この目で見届けることだよ。
Homura
Why? For beings who speak of mere curiosity as illogical, why would you go through the trouble of setting up all this to merely ascertain an existence? No, what you seek is to control Madoka!
I wont deny that was our final goal. Well this is a difficult road in itself. The occurence itself is a puzzle to us completely, an existence that can not be ascertained is truly difficult to handle.
That is correct, if it can be observed , then it can be interfered with. If It can be interefered with, then it can be controled. One day we will be able to fully strip the power of 'law of cycles'. That way magical girls will become witches once again, energy collection on a higher level then can be expected. The conversion of energy from hope to despair will be of a level beyond our expectation thus far. There truly exists infinite possibility within magic girls. From the process of you turning into a witch, its value will then be shown.
Why are you so angry? This is really a topic that no longer relates to you. The existence known as Akemi Homura is over. At the end of your cruel destiny, you have completed the promise to meet again with the existence that is most important to you. That should be a joyous occasion.
Unbelievable, you are letting your own grief increase on purpose... !? What are you thinking, there would not be any time for purification!
キュゥべえ
そんな…自ら呪いを募らせるなんて、何を考えているんだ?浄化が間に合わなくなるよ!
Homura
Even though you would not know that right now. But I became a magical girl with but one wish, 'to save Madoka'. That is why I will do so again this time. I would rather become a witch than reveal Madokas secret any further. Incubator, I wont let you have any further contact with her!
How can it be! Do you know what it means to die within the isolation field? If you refuse to break the shell and became a witch from within, then you wont be detected by 'law of cycle' and vanish. No one will be able to save you from despair then! And you will once again, lose your chance to reunite with Kaname Madoka.
This will undoubtly be the worst end for you... really, why are human beings so illogical?
キュゥべえ
君にとっても最悪の結末だろうに。まったく、どうして人間の思考はこうも理不尽なんだい?

Oh, so this is a witch? My emotions have all come back to haunt me. I can't remember anything but glimmers of light and regret. Ah, so this is my despair.
