| Mami stands in her apartment, listening to the howling winds outside. Kyubey gets her attention and asks her once more if she's hiding something from him. When Mami asks what he means, Kyubey explains she handed over her territory to Homura a month ago which put her at great risk. Not a very logical move according to him. Mami points out how strong Homura is and that even she can tire of this life, which Kyubey agrees to. Yet her power is still a mystery to him; Somehow she knows exactly where and when the witches will appear. Mami asks if he was wondering if she could read the future, but Kyubey believes it's more likely that she's able to repeat the same stretch of time over and over again. She nods her head, as it would certainly explain her seeming ability to also teleport. Maybe she's able to move when time is stopped for everyone else? The one thing Kyubey is certain of is she is blocking him from contracting with Madoka. If this is true, it would explain the reason behind Madoka's seemingly vast potential as the cause and effect behind the time repetitions. However, since neither of them can remember previous time loops, there's no way to prove the hypothesis. But this does mean that Kyubey should be very careful with what kind of information he entrusts with her. He asks Mami to imagine if she had the power to manipulate time. How long could she keep her sanity if she were to lose her friendships, memories, and feelings each time she repeats the time loop? Mami thinks its sounds like a movie on endless loop, and would be an unbearable kind of loneliness that can only make someone more and more desperate. She once had a friend who loved movies tell her this a long time ago. Kyubey thinks on this and comes to the conclusion that humanity needs to combat loneliness if they are to maintain their sanity.
