Events

  • Day 1 - Tuesday, the 16th: Mabayu wakes up to an alarm and is saddened by knowing that Nagisa no longer exists. She visits Homura at the hospital who reminds her that their mission is to stop Madoka from contracting, and Nagisa's return would mean failure. Homura vows to not repeat the mistake of revealing the truth about Witches to Madoka.
  • Day 2 - Wednesday, the 17th: Homura confronts Mami and challenges her for control of Mitakihara, stating she will not make the same mistake as a previous timeline by forming a ceasefire. They agree to a duel where the loser must cease all Magical Girl activities in the city. In a close-fought battle, Homura barely wins by using her time-stop magic a split second before Mami's ribbons can seal her shield. Mami admits defeat and honors their agreement, leaving Mitakihara during patrols. Homura reflects that she will not inherit Mami's ideals, but will move beyond them to save Madoka.
  • Day 3 - Thursday, the 18th: Homura confirms Mami is no longer active in Mitakihara.
    • At the hospital, Kyosuke and a nurse note that Sayaka is not answering her phone and has missed a planned concert visit, worrying Kyosuke.
    • Sayaka has a bad day, missing out on a rare "Ave Maria" CD and leaving her phone at the store. She runs into Madoka and they talk about her frustrations and her concern for Kyosuke. They see Mabayu in her Récompense pâtisserie uniform and, reminded of cake, decide to go to the pastry shop. There, Sayaka shares an old photo with Madoka and talks fondly about Kyosuke's violin playing, expressing her desire to support him until he can play again. The shop owner, Sakie, overhears and praises Sayaka, calling her Kyosuke's "first fan."
    • Homura, observing the city, witnesses a child recount how a "Magical Girl Mami" saved her, being reminded of the legacy Mami left behind.
  • Day 6 - Sunday, the 21st: During the field trip, Homura and Mabayu realize Kyubey has made contact with Madoka while they were fighting a Witch. Mabayu foresees the future and then helps Madoka and Sayaka to escape from a Labyrinth.
    • Hunting Asiphae, Kyoko finds Mami at the factory. Mami acts distant and Kyoko asks about why Mami'd been working outside Mitakihara. Homura defeats the Witch right in front of Kyoko, takes the Grief Seed and warns her not to interfere in Mitakihara.
    • Outside the Barrier, Madoka and Sayaka thank Mabayu for her help. Mabayu points out a UFO as a distraction, allowing Homura to freeze time and shoot Kyubey with Mabayu's borrowed gun. Time resumes, and the popping sound of the bullets startles Madoka and Sayaka, but Mabayu dismisses it as firecrackers and laughs. The teacher then calls the students back to the bus.
  • Day 10 - Thursday, the 25th: Mabayu and Homura meet on the school rooftop to discuss preventing Madoka and Sayaka from encountering Witches. As two Witches are set to appear, Homura plans to defeat one Witch before heading to the mall, while Mabayu stalls Madoka and Sayaka to keep them safe.
    • Later, at a café, Mabayu approaches Madoka and Sayaka by improvising. She eventually ends up asking Sayaka to help with her part time job at Récompense.
  • Day 11 - Friday, the 26th: Sayaka finishes her shift at the Récompense and Sakie praises her for her energy. Sayaka asks why Mabayu offered her the job, and Mabayu explains she thought Sayaka might need the money and had seen her often in the CD section of the video store. Sayaka senses Mabayu is hiding something but reassures her it's fine and hopes she'll share someday.
  • Day 13 - Sunday, the 28th: After another shift at Récompense, Sakie gives Sayaka a box of "Chocotto Bar" chocolates. Sakie teases Sayaka about having a crush on Kyosuke, which Sayaka denies. When Sakie realizes she forgot to set aside a cake for Sayaka to take to the hospital, she instead offers to teach Sayaka how to bake one herself the next day.
    • Mabayu meets Homura at the bus stop and updates her on their progress. They agree that keeping Madoka and Sayaka ignorant of Magical Girls is crucial, but Mabayu doubts she can befriend Sayaka. Homura asks Mabayu to check her future again, and the enemy's attack pattern remains unchanged. Homura leaves the task of guarding Madoka to Mabayu.
    • At home, Madoka struggles with her algebra homework while Mabayu, camouflaged, spies on her and Homura telepathically checks in. Mabayu reports no sign of Kyubey so far and reassures Homura that she's keeping watch.
    • Sayaka walks home, feeling proud of her progress at work and plans to buy CDs. She is contacted by Kyubey, who asks her to contract and become a Magical Girl.
  • Day 14 - Monday, the 29th: Distracted by Kyubey's offer, Sayaka goes to Récompense after school as planned. Sakie teaches her how to bake a fruit tart. Sayaka creates several chocolate message plates, accidentally making one that says "love" in the process. In the confusion of a customer arriving, the wrong plate ("love") is put on the cake. Sakie, believing it's intentional, cheers Sayaka on as she rushes to the hospital.
    • At the hospital, a nurse mistakes Sayaka for Kyosuke's girlfriend, flustering her. Upon checking the cake, Sayaka discovers the "love" message and, in a panic, uses the chocolate from Sakie to alter it to read "Move," explaining it as a message for him to keep moving forward with his recovery. She feeds him the cake as his hand is injured. Kyosuke is genuinely touched and thanks her. Later, as they listen to the CDs she brought, Kyosuke becomes emotional. Seeing his sadness, Sayaka's resolve to wish for his healing strengthens.
  • Day 15 - Tuesday, the 30th: Mabayu and Homura spot Madoka at the hospital, waiting for Sayaka. Mabayu reads Homura's future, and gives her instructions to quickly defeat Charlotte. They keep in contact via telepathy so Homura knows when to stop time.
    • Sayaka meets Madoka and tells her she wasn't able to enter Kyosuke's room. Mabayu notices Kyubey nearby and warns Homura to stop time while Mabayu shoots Kyubey and uses a fire extinguisher explosion as cover. Homura defeats Charlotte and Mabayu encounters Sayaka, who warns her about the explosion. Mabayu pretends she's delivering cake to a hospital patient and learns about Kyosuke from Sayaka. Homura telepathically signals the mission is done, and Mabayu excuses herself.
    • At the pendulum room, Homura reports success and shows Mabayu a hand-drawn flowchart of the time loops. Mabayu suggests using a computer, but Homura burns it and explains it resets with the timeline, so it's better if she remembers it.
  • Day 16 - Wednesday, the 31st: As Madoka and Sayaka walk home, Mabayu and Homura watch from nearby. Mabayu reads Sayaka's future and sees her contracting with Kyubey. Homura rushes off and finds Sayaka, now a Magical Girl, fighting Familiars and defeating H.N. Elly. Kyubey praises Sayaka, but Homura interrupts, threatening her to stay away from Madoka. Mabayu telepathically stops Homura from killing Sayaka and Homura agrees after Mabayu shows her a vision of success. Later, Mabayu meets Madoka, who is worried. Madoka asks if she's noticed changes in Sayaka as she's been acting strangely and Mabayu promises to help if Sayaka is in trouble.
  • Day 17 - Thursday, the 1st: Sayaka greets Hitomi and Madoka on their way to school, but Madoka notices Kyubey alongside Sayaka. Hitomi doesn't see him and thinks Madoka is imagining things and Sayaka brushes it off as sleep deprivation, while Mabayu watches them. At lunch, Sayaka shows off her Magical Girl transformation to Madoka on the rooftop. Homura and Mabayu watch from nearby and Sayaka assures Madoka that being a Magical Girl is dangerous but necessary to protect people. That night, Sayaka takes Madoka on a Witch patrol and they enter a Witch's Barrier. Mabayu, watching them recalls that Kyoko would have interfered in another timeline but this time she's elsewhere. Sayaka struggles against the Familiars, and Kyubey attempts to convince Madoka to make a contract. Homura intervenes by freezing time, defeating the Familiars, and scaring off Kyubey. She warns Madoka to avoid making a contract, saying she would regret it.
  • Day 18 - Friday, the 2nd: While working Sayaka shares with Mabayu that her friend Kyosuke is being discharged from the hospital.
  • Day 20 - Sunday, the 4th: Madoka, Hitomi, Kyosuke, and Sayaka celebrate Kyosuke's discharge at Récompense. Sayaka is in her uniform and they share a special Italian cake (torrone) while listening to Italian opera, a detail Sayaka thoughtfully arranged. Kyosuke is genuinely happy, and Sayaka feels her efforts have paid off.
  • Day 22 - Tuesday, the 6th: Sayaka is feeling down at work and tells Mabayu she wishes she could erase her memories. Later, Sayaka meets Madoka and they go on to fight Witches. Mabayu and Homura observe the situation and Sayaka faces Elsa Maria. Madoka, concerned, asks Kyubey if contracting could save Sayaka. At this moment, Mabayu kills Kyubey, and Homura defeats the Witch while Sayaka watches in confusion. Sayaka lashes out at Homura and attacks her, but ends up exposing Mabayu. Sayaka accuses Mabayu of being involved with Kyubey and Homura and Mabayu realize that Homura can't freeze time while Sayaka holds her. Sayaka attacks Mabayu and gives chase. Homura intervenes but Madoka, now a Magical Girl, appears and Homura surmises she wished to end Sayaka's suffering.
  • Day 23 - Wednesday, the 7th: Sayaka and Madoka talk by the river at sunset and they spot Hitomi and Kyosuke talking from a distance. Sayaka lookd down and jokes that they might be on a date. Madoka asks if Sayaka is okay, and she laughs it off and insists they're only childhood friends and hopes Hitomi and Kyosuke end up together.
  • Day 32 - Friday, the 16th: Homura and Mabayu are in the pendulum room and outside, Sayaka and Madoka prepare to face Walpurgisnacht. Sayaka reassures Madoka that they'll be fine if they fight together.
    • Walpurgisnacht attacks and Sayaka protects Kyosuke from debris, getting severely injured in the process. She tells him she is happy she protected his music and urges him to survive and share it with the world.
    • Mabayu, camouflaged, watches them head into battle. Sayaka and Madoka's attacks have no effect, and Walpurgisnacht strikes them down. Homura admits to Mabayu that she can't continue, but Mabayu urges her to go ahead and promises they won't repeat their mistakes. Homura resets time.
  • Sayaka dies from her injuries. Rescuers find Kyosuke alive and pull an unconscious Sayaka from the rubble, but she has no pulse and cannot be revived.
