Homura is repeating time to save Madoka.
Upon learning the truth, Mabayu tried to appear before Homura.
However, she hesitates when she sees the transformed Homura erase Kyubey.
Later, when there are multiple Kyubeys and Madoka is in danger of making a contract, Mabayu finally appears before Homura and informs her of the situation.
However, this was tantamount to confessing to peeping and seeming disgusting due to the situation.
Nevertheless, Mabayu saves Madoka, who is struggling against the witch, and loses her own life when she saves Homura, who had tried to distance herself from Madoka, after making a contract with her by seeing the future with her own magic.
She did this because she respected Homura's love for Madoka.
Summary
Day 1
The hour glass turns and Madoka's wish echoes like a curse that binds time.
An alarm rings, waking up Mabayu Aki. She is saddened by the memory of Homura's attempt to save Madoka. She checks her desk drawer and notes her grief seed is back to how it was. She has to do something!
| Scene 1 (Homura)
|
| Homura awakens in the hospital. No one will believe or accept what she has to say about the future. She lets her hair down then raises her soul gem and fixes her eyesight.
She'll have to save Madoka by means of her own power and stop Kyubey from contracting her.
|
At school, Sayaka is talking to Madoka about the cat that often hangs out in front of the cake shop. Madoka knows her, it's Amy and she's a great gourmet. Apparently she'll only eat chicken-flavored dry cat food. Mabayu was right, Homura isn't in school yet so she must still be in the hospital. Time freezes at that moment, so Mabayu takes this perfect opportunity to search in the staff room for any documents that can tell her where she's currently hospitalized. She has to meet Homura.
Day 2
A camouflaged Mabayu searches the hospital's halls for Homura's room. She's sure she's close when she hears Homura's voice strongly refuse something. She enters the room and finds Homura, no longer wearing braids and glasses. She has a serious and stern look on her face as she stares down Kyubey. She warns him not to contract anyone or she'll do everything in her power to eliminate him. She then transforms and threatens to show no mercy if he doesn't stop disturbing her. He takes his cue and vanishes. Homura detransforms and thinks of her next move. She knows that tonight is the night Madoka makes her contract with him, so she'll stop him by any means necessary. Mabayu believes Homura has a scary look in her eyes, almost as if she were a different person.
| Scene 2 (Homura)
|
| Homura considers her options. She had failed to rewrite the correct numbers for her lab results and she worries the events from the previous week may repeat themselves. She's approached by Kyubey, who greets her. She closes her eyes and completely ignores him. He says he only wants to ask her about herself. She's an irregular, a magical girl who doesn't have a contract with him so he wants to know when, where and with who did she contract with but Homura finally speaks up when she refuses to divulge any information. He doesn't want to force anything on her, but he does believe this could be mutually beneficial. In response, Homura warns him not to contract anyone or she'll do everything in her power to eliminate him then transforms and warns him not to get any closer. When he asks the reason, she threatens to show no mercy if he doesn't stop disturbing her. Kyubey apologizes and claims he didn't come here for a fight. He turns and vanishes. Homura detransforms and sighs. So far this loop has been identical, which means he'll meet with Madoka tonight according to Madoka's story. She'll stop him by any means.
|
| Scene 3 (Homura)
|
|
Homura walks through the city's shopping district. In the previous loops she couldn't get started until after she'd been discharged from the hospital, but she now knows she has no time to wait in order to prevent Madoka from contracting. Homura transforms then freezes time. She'll need to get ahold of a weapon quickly.
|
It's late at night as Mabayu walks through the dark suburban area. She's sure Madoka's house is somewhere around here when she soon spots Kyubey lurking around. However Homura gets to him first. She reminds him of her earlier warning not to make a contract with Madoka. Without even giving him a chance to respond, she freezes time and fires off several rounds of bullets into him. Mabayu cries out in surprise, causing Homura to look around and ask if someone is there. She demands she show herself, but Mabayu is too afraid. The way Homura is now, she doesn't consider anyone her ally, especially when she finds out she's been spying on her this whole time. Homura decides to release time and watches as Kyubey is annihilated. Maybe it was just for imagination but no matter. Madoka should be protected from Kyubey. Mabayu nervously breathes a sigh of relief. She managed to hide her presence from Homura.
Back at home, Mabayu considers the events she saw. In the end she couldn't' get herself to reveal her presence, but she can't allow Homura to continue on her own either. Kyubey asks her who she's referring to. Mabayu jumps back in shock. Figuring it must be surprise from seeing him for the first time, he decides to introduce himself but Mabayu cuts him off. She was positive she'd seen him die at Homura's hands earlier so how can he be here talking to her now? This must be a dream caused by sleep-deprivation but Kyubey assures her he's real. That's just what a character in a dream would say, so Mabayu decides it's better if she just goes to sleep for the rest of the night.
Day 3
| Scene 4 (Homura)
|
| Homura stands alone in her pendulum room. She knows she killed Kyubey when she riddled him with bullet holes. She can still remember the feel the tremors of the gun in her hand. Still, she has other more pressing things to worry about. She has to save Madoka and in order to do that she had to protect her from contracting. It's the best she could do for now. As to her other problems, she knows Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko won't believe her. So it seems she has no choice but to defeat Walpurgisnacht on her own. She'll gather materials and make a plan for next month. Suddenly, she's interrupted by a green-haired girl who somehow knows her name. When she asks who she is, the girl instead responds by warning her Kyubey is still alive which means Madoka will... She's cut off mid-sentence when Homura transforms and once more demands to know who she is.
|
| Scene 5 (Madoka)
|
| Madoka is in tears, visibly distraught at what's occured. She can't believe Amy could be dead, not when she had been so happily lazing about in front of the café just the other day. She was so cute and had never done anything wrong, so why does she have to die so suddenly? A voice calls her name and she looks about. She notices a white cat-like creature and asks if it's not a stuffed animal of some kind. Kyubey introduces himself and says he needs to ask her a favor. He can make any wish come true, including easily saving the life of a dying cat. But there are conditions, so if she wants such a miracle to come true she'll need to make a contract with him and become a magical girl.
|
| Scene 6 (Madoka)
|
| A light flashes and Madoka stands, having been transformed into a magical girl. Kyubey informs her she will not have to fight against witches in accordance to the contract. She hears a sound and looks to find Amy meowing at her, completely healthy and unharmed in any way. Madoka is overjoyed to find her furry friend has been healed as the cat nuzzles up to Madoka while purring and licking her. A miracle had happened and her wish came true. She thanks Kyubey but no sooner do the words escape her lips then Kyubey is filled with bullet holes. At first Madoka panics, thinking another tragedy had just occurred in front of her, but Kyubey reappears from behind her and assures her he's safe. Madoka is confused since Kyubey's bullet-riddled body is still laying before her. Kyubey believes someone is harboring hostility towards him.
|
| Scene 7 (Homura)
|
| Homura stands in her room, cursing her luck. She hadn't expected there to be so many Kyubeys but then again, those creatures are beyond common sense. She cries out an apology to Madoka for failing to save her once more and wonders how she should look when they meet.
|
Day 4
| Scene 8 (Homura)
|
| Homura stands in an abandoned building. Even though she can always rewind time, she should use this time loop as efficiently as possible. If the events of the previous loop have repeated, then there should be a a black market trade in weapons which means she can get all the weapons and funds she'll need all at once. However, this does carry a certain amount of risk. But she'll have to be reckless if she plans to take down Walpurgisnacht. It's best if she collects as much information as possible and use this loop to its full extent. She waits for a moment, then notes it's here.
Homura remembers that girl, Mabayu Aki. Now that she thinks about it, she hasn't tried contacting her once since then. What did she mean? If she really is caught up in her time loops, then is she somewhere nearby watching her now? It's upsetting, but she can't help thinking about it. After all, this is the only magic she has to rely on.

Day 5
Day 6
| Scene 9 (Homura)
|
| Kazuko Saotome tells the class to head to the restroom for one last break before they head back. Madoka tells her friends she'll be right back as Sayaka Miki follows suit, leaving Hitomi Shizuki behind. Homura ended up coming here, since last time she had to save Madoka from being attacked by a witch. By doing so, she had gained her trust and was able to move forward in time. If she does the same thing this time, then they can become friends. But she already knows what happened in that future, so should she do the same thing this time? She wasn't able to prevent Madoka from contracting, so what's the point in trying to save a girl who can't be saved?
|
| Scene 10 (Mami)
|
| Mami rushes over to Madoka and asks if she's alright, tears in her eyes and panic in her voice. Madoka was able to defeat the witch, but... Her gaze turns to where Mabayu lies dead. Mami recognizes her classmate and asks if this isn't some kind of lie. Homura apologizes to Mami, explaining Mabayu had given her life to protect her. She never expected something like this to happen so it's all her fault. She asks Mami to give her the details.
|
| Scene 11 (Homura)
|
| Mami, Madoka, and Homura sit in Mami's apartment. Mami is in tears, wondering how something like this could have happened. She thought she'd done the best she could, but she can no longer call herself a magical girl. Homura can understand why Mami would feel depressed over this. If they were to take her word for it, then their guess would be as good as hers. If they were to assume the worst from now on, then they can't tell the truth to Mabayu.
|
Day 15
(There are no scenes in the main story for Day 15).
| Scene 12 (Homura)
|
|
The Pytors circling around the girls menacingly. Both Homura and Madoka are ready, but Mami seems distracted. Homura gets her attention and Mami becomes serious as she focuses on the task at hand. Mami and Madoka attack in unison as Homura watches. She notes that Mami's movements have slowed but she's not surprised. The loss of Mabayu resonates with her as well. Madoka calls out to Homura as Charlotte begins to approach. Homura freezes time. She won't let it to others like she did last time, and decides to take the lead on the attack. She unfreezes time as multiple bombs go off around Charlotte. While Mami is distracted with her thoughts, Madoka warns her not to let her guard down. Charlotte transforms into its second stage as Homura is troubled by this new development.
|
| Scene 13 (Homura)
|
| Homura consoles a distraught Madoka as they sit in her pendulum room. Madoka can't understand what happened. Mami had been eaten by a witch and Madoka was powerless to stop it. She thought she would be able to protect everyone by becoming a magical girl, but she never imagined it would be like this. Homura doesn't know what to say. In this world, Madoka has already contracted so she'll abandon this time loop one day. Even though she knows it's meaningless to put her arms around her, she just can't help herself. She holds her close for a moment, then promises they'll work hard together to defeat Walpurgisnacht and fulfill Mami's wish in her place. It's all they can do. Madoka nods, then leaves shortly after. Even though she knows it will hurt, Homura can't take her eyes off of her.
