== Excerpts from the Novel ==
[[File:Madoka novel02.jpg|thumb|Cover of Volume 2]]
[Editor's note:  This appears to be a flashback to Madoka and Sayaka's early childhood, showing the novel contains new material that was not presented in either the anime or manga.]
 
'''Excerpt 1'''
 
:"Are you alright?"
:There was a child holding out its hand.
:"...Th-"
:At first I didn't know whether this child was a boy or a girl.
:Short hair, sleeves and pants.
:With the hand in her pocket [...]
:[...]
:However, one day I suddenly noticed.
:[...]
:"You can have this, Madoka."
:"Madoka, let's play today."
:"Don't bully Madoka!"
:Right, the Sayaka that was always concerned about me and tried to protect me [...]
 
 
'''Excerpt 2'''
:Luckily, we were always placed in the same class up to this point, however, there's no guarantee that this will always be that way.  We talked about getting into the same high school, even though that also is not a certainty, since we might drift apart someday.  I wonder if one day I will become a real friend of Sayaka...
 
:These were the thoughts I always had.
 
:And now....
 
:Sayaka, who suffered alone, decided alone to make a contract with Kyubey.  Kamijou's arm was healed in exchange for her becoming a magical girl.  Without knowing whether she'll be eaten by a witch one day, she fights every night in dangerous places, alone and without allies.  And then, because I was being the coward I always am, the scene of Mami's death [....]
