Scene 0 Film 4

Mabayu returns to life thanks to Homura's time travel. Although she supports Homura with her "future prediction," which allows her to see the best possible future that cannot be changed, Madoka ends up making a contract with Kyubey. Nagisa Momoe was born with from the wish to 'free that witch from despair', but when she learned of Mami's death, she became convinced that she had killed Mami. She also became tormented by her guilt for killing Kyoko. Mabayu recalls her past with her mother, a fortune teller. She also recalled her power to "cut the film of memory," which she used to save Nagisa's heart, and they all went to battle in the challenge against Walpurgisnacht.

Summary

Day 1

An alarm rings, causing Mabayu to wake up with a scream as the memories of being pierced swim through her mind. Was it all a dream? No, she knows better than that. Everything that had just happened was real, and she had died. But the fact that she woke up today means she made the right judgement call at the time.

• 

As she walks to school, Mabayu ponders the vision she had had in the previous loop. No doubt that must have been her personal magic. How amazing it was, the ability to see the future in the eyes of others. Time manipulation was a pretty big deal on its own, but combined with her future sight the possibilities seemed endless. Perhaps now she can actually help Homura out, or stop Madoka from contracting on her own. As she's lost in her own thoughts, she's interrupted by Mami Tomoe. She wants to talk to her about the book she borrowed yesterday. Despite Mabayu's restlessness, everyone else seems to be having the same morning as usual. She's still a little scared, but she resolves to try her best.

• 

Mabayu nervously walks into Homura's hospital room and greets her. Homura isn't surprised to see her. Mabayu thought it best to come and talk to her as soon as possible, but Homura calls her careless instead. She plans to make this the final time loop, so Mabayu will probably get in trouble later if she keeps skipping school whenever she pleases. Homura thinks it's best if she keeps living her normal daily life to avoid further disruption later in the future. Mabayu promises to be more careful from now on and an uncomfortable silence fills the room. After a moment, Homura breaks the silence by thanking Mabayu for her actions in the previous time loop. If she hadn't jumped in, Homura would have died so she's grateful to Mabayu. Surprised, Mabayu asks if this means she's been forgiven by Homura, but Homura makes an angry face at first before telling Mabayu to never reveal anything she might have spied. Mabayu happily promises to not tell anyone about all the things Homura kept mumbling to herself about Madoka. Homura's face turns beet-red as she tells Mabayu to immediately forget any of that. Inside, Mabayu is all a flutter. Despite Homura being younger than her, she's not treating Mabayu like a senpai. She'll have to show her she too can be a reliable ally. She puts on a brave front and tells Homura she can rely on her. Thanks to her newly awakened future sight, they'll be able to handle Kyubey with ease. If they follow her lead, they'll be sure to get the jump on Kyubey and give him a big surprise! However, Homura doesn't believe it'll go that well so easily. If Mabayu could truly change the future, and not just see it, then she wouldn't have had to sacrifice herself in the last time loop. Mabayu says that's different, since she thought it was the best course of action given the fact Homura can rewind time so long as she survives. It would be different if Mabayu had survived and Homura was the one to end up dying. Homura agrees it was the best decision she could have made at the time.

Mabayu tries to think it through: if she sees the future where she predicts the future, and then lives through the future until she sees the prediction she saw in the future, then the future she predicted that saw in her prediction...? Mabayu gives up as the conundrum gives her a headache. Homura tells her to just look at it like this: the future she saw is the future that will happen. If that's the case, is there any point in looking at the future then? Homura believes it's still worth a look. If there's any room for improvement, then the future will change. Thus the futures she sees are the best possible future she can achieve. Mabayu still doesn't quite get it. How can Homura guess so much on so little information? Homura says it's thanks to her experience with manipulating time, but regardless she needs her help so she'll be counting on her. Mabayu brightens up and promises to do her best. She attempts to call Homura by her first name, but falters and calls her the usual Akemi-san instead. Homura doesn't remark on this, instead changing the subject. She asks Mabayu about Mami Tomoe. Mabayu recognizes her as her classmate, and a magical girl. But she also once threatened her not to get close to her, but she never understood why. Homura explains it's because magical girls have to compete for the limited supply of grief seeds that are available. She asks if this happened in the time loop before last, then points out how distraught she was at the train station. Did Mabayu see that as well? Mabayu asks if that was when Sayaka had turned into a witch. She recalls Mami's tear-filled eyes as she turned her musket on Kyoko before killing her after learning the truth about witches. Homura believes if they were to tell her the truth once more, then that same incident may repeat itself. It's best if they keep as much distance from her as possible. The closer they are, then the heavier the despair and tragedy will be were something to occur. Mabayu nods in understanding.

Day 2

Scene 1 (Homura)
Homura awakens in the hospital. Rewriting the lab result numbers is surprisingly difficult, but she can't really help it. Having done that, she turns her attention to the future. She transforms, then freezes time. She recalls the events of the previous loops, and right on cue Kyubey appears. This time she refuses to even entertain his presence and leaves without a word.

It's late at night as Mabayu once more finds herself walking through a dark surburban area just outside of Madoka's house. It seems her collaboration with Homura has finally begun! She thinks about how amazing Homura is, and her ability to clearly see the nature of Mabayu's magic with just one look. Mabayu has some confidence in her mental abilities, but regardless she can't lose her edge. Somehow she has to become a support for Homura, and in order to do that... Mabayu looks around and quickly spots Kyubey lurking around. However, Homura calls out Mabayu's name telepathically first. She asks if Mabayu came down to see for herself, then tells her not to worry.

• 

She transforms into her magical girl state then freezes time. She approaches Kyubey and promises him he won't be making any more contracts. She'll protect Madoka no matter what and fires several bullets into Kyubey's inanimate body. She unfreezes time and they watch as Kyubey's body is mutilated. Even now she can't get used to the grotesque sight. Homura promises this is nothing to him then urges her to go home and continue with her mission. She'll stay here and continue to protectively watch over Madoka. Mabayu agrees and takes off.

• 

Back home, Mabayu watches her late night movie intently. She's seen it before of course, but there's so many little details you miss until you rewatch it. When she praises the actor's performance, Kyubey asks if she likes the movie. Mabayu jumps up in alarm. She looks at Kyubey with surprise and asks if she's some kind of cat, rat, or bear. Somehow this thing is talking to her without talking to her! Kyubey introduces himself before explaining he speaks using telepathy. If he's using telepathy to talk, then this is just as God had predicted! Kyubey is confused as Mabayu explains she had a dream the night before that a messenger of God would appear before her soon. This messenger will want her help to get closer to the devil, but if he tries to get closer then his life will be lost. Kyubey finds this rather interesting and asks if she recognizes herself as a magical girl serving God. Confused, Mabayu asks him what a magical girl is. It seems Kyubey has a lot of explaining to do.

Scene 2 (Mami)

Mami waits alone in the park at night. She hears a voice from nearby commenting on how tired she looks. Homura approaches her and Mami asks who she is. Homura introduces herself, and lets her know she too is a magical girl. She'd never heard of her before, then realizes this must be the other irregular Kyubey had told her about. Homura asks what she was thinking about, and if she's become lonely after being alone so long. Mami narrows her eyes and asks her what she knows and what that strange comment has to do with anything, but Homura sees no reason to answer her. Mami transforms, ready to make her answer but suddenly Homura isn't where she was. Instead she somehow manages to appear behind Mami. Homura understands her panic, but she assures her she's not here to fight. Instead she offers a truce: since Homura is going to be active in this city from now on, she'd rather cooperate with Mami by telling her the time and location of each witch. There should be more than enough grief seeds for the both of them, but in exchange she has one condition: she wants Mami to not recruit anymore magical girls for awhile or else there won't be enough grief seeds for them all. Mami asks if she can predict the future, but Homura merely shrugs. Incensed by her attitude, Mami strikes at Homura, but Homura has vanished. Homura's voice calls out from the darkness, offering her one last piece of advice before she goes. She informs Mami her intuition is correct, and that it would be better not to tell Kyubey the truth. Mami's face burns red from the humiliation. It's like that girl could see right through her heart.

Day 3

Scene 3 (Homura)

Madoka greets Sayaka Miki and Hitomi Shizuki as they make their way to school. Madoka went to bed a bit late last night, so she's running a little behind today. Sayaka jokes around, saying it must be because she was so worried about today's math test. Homura, who had been secretly watching them, freezes time. There, hiding nearby, sits Kyubey. Homura approaches the creature. She knew she could never let her guard down so long as Madoka can still be saved, so she won't let Kyubey get any closer than he already has. She releases time, pumps Kyubey full of bullets, then refreezes time and makes her escape. Madoka looks around confusedly. She swears she heard some kind of noise just now. Sayaka figures it must be some kid from around the neighborhood throwing a tantrum. But neither Hitomi nor Madoka know what a tantrum is, much to Sayaka's surprise.

Madoka bids farewell to Hitomi, who has to leave for her Japanese dance lessons. Sayaka also apologizes for having to leave so soon since she also has something she needs to do. Madoka tells her not to worry since they didn't have anything special planned anyways. The three of them bid their goodbyes and split up, leaving Madoka alone as she sighs. Mabayu and Homura watch them from nearby. The three of them had split up here in exactly the same way as in the previous time loops. Mabayu asks about Kyubey, but it seems he's only shown up once so far at which point he got his usual dose of bullets. He hasn't gone near Madoka since, especially not after Mabayu's "dream prediction" the other day.

Day 6

Scene 4 (Madoka)

Sayaka and Madoka stand in the barrier. Madoka hopes they get back to the bus soon or they'll keep everyone waiting. Thankfully Sayaka believes she's spotted the exit. The two girls manage to make it back outside where they see Kyubey sitting on the ground in front of them. The girls think it's some strange squirrel or rabbit, but Kyubey instead says he's glad he finally got to meet Madoka. The two girls are startled at first, but he explains he speaks by telepathy. The two of them have the qualities to become a magical girl, but the two are still confused by what's going on. Homura suddenly appears and warns Madoka to get away. Kyubey recognizes Homura and asks if she's the one who's been getting in his way.

Day 7

(There are no scenes in the main story for Day 7).

Scene 5 (Mami)

Mami meets with Kyubey on the school's roof. Kyubey has come across two humans who possess the qualifications to be magical girls, so he was hoping Mami could take them under her wing and teach them to become magical girls. But Mami seems to hesitate, so Kyubey asks what's wrong. She remembers Homura's warning about not trusting Kyubey as well as her condition that she not help create more magical girls for a while. So she asks Kyubey if they haven't contracted yet. It may be that her previous invitations to partner up may have come off a bit strong, and not to mention there's an unknown magical girl who recently appeared. Perhaps it would be best not to solicit new magical girls for a while. Kyubey thinks it's a shame, especially since the new girls could have helped Mami out. Mami simply says she's sorry.

Day 10

Scene 6 (Sayaka)

It's the start of class and Ms. Saotome is announcing the arrival of a new transfer student to the class. As Homura makes her introduction, both Sayaka and Madoka recognize her as the girl that approached them during their field trip to the car factory. She can't believe the arrogant way she had told them not to believe in Kyubey's words. Madoka confirms with Kyubey that Homura is indeed a magical girl. This means she must have made a wish when she contracted. Sayaka figures it must have been some hopeless wish or something. Or maybe she's trying to keep Kyubey away from Madoka because she wants all the wishes for herself. Madoka wonders if this could really be true.

Scene 7 (Mami)

Mami is speaking with Homura on the school's roof. She's surprised to learn Homura is enrolled in her same school, then asks why she called her up here. Homura wants to fulfill her end of the bargain, so she informs her a witch will appear this evening as you cross the southern bridge. She wants Mami to be the one to take care of it, because she knows Mami is going to be needing a grief seed soon. Mami admits witches have been a bit scarce lately, then asks if the reason is because Homura has been getting ahead of her and killing them off herself. Instead, Homura tells her there's no need to look into it so much. All she wants is for Mami to protect the peace of this city, for which she'll need enough grief seeds to replenish her magic. What more could she want? It's also for the best if she keep her distance from Kyubey. With those final words, Homura leaves. Mami stands alone now, pondering her words. It's true she'd like nothing more than to defeat witches and maintain the peace of the city, but is that really all she wants?

Day 11

(There are no scenes in the main story for Day 11).

Scene 8 (Madoka)

Madoka is visiting Sayaka in the hospital, and immediately rushes to her side asking if she's ok. Sayaka tells her not to worry, since it was a simple procedure. In fact, she has so much energy she's having trouble staying still in bed. Although she also sees this more as a tragedy-turned-miracle since Madoka is skipping school to come visit her. As they are talking, Madoka notices the CD player on her bed. It's the same one Kyosuke uses, so this must be the same hospital he's staying in. Still, Sayaka finds it hard to believe that witches could be so dangerous. She's glad she didn't listen and sign a contract with Kyubey, or else she'd be forced to fight those things all the time. Madoka nods in agreement, but she seems distracted. Sayaka asks her what she's thinking, so Madoka replies honestly. She was thinking about the fact that Homura has to fight creatures like that, risking her own life to protect the peace of this town. Sayaka thinks she's being stupid, since Homura received a miracle that was worth the risk in exchange. Doesn't Madoka have a wish she'd do anything to make come true?

Day 15

Scene 9 (Mami)

Mami and Homura meet up on the school's roof once more. Homura knows it's about time for them to need another grief seed, but Mami changes the subject, asking her about her injured classmate. She had noticed traces of magic at the scene where she was injured, so there must have been a witch fight involved. If this girl has the qualifications necessary for a magical girl, wouldn't it make more sense to have her contract rather than have her risk putting her life in danger? Homura has no response, so Mami continues to push. If Homura really does have the ability to predict the future, than there should be more than enough grief seeds for the three of them, so what is she really planning? Homura warns her once more, reminding her curiosity killed the cat. She vanishes as Mami calls out for her to wait. The bell rings, signaling the end of the period. Homura knows something Mami doesn't, and Mami can't afford to ignore something like that. She'll have to follow her and find out her true identity.

Scene 10 (Sayaka)

Sayaka giggles to herself as she waits in the hospital's lobby. Now is about the time for Madoka to stop by for a visit, and Sayaka has gotten tea and Kyosuke's favorite baumkuchen ready. She hears a familiar voice and looks around. It seems Madoka has already arrived and is talking with Kyubey. She looks distressed, then tells Kyubey to wait. But Kyubey has already seemingly vanished. If Kyubey is involved, then....She soon spots it, the entrance to a witch's barrier. She gets a queasy feeling just looking at it, but jumps right in. She wanders the bizarre candy-laden landscape, calling out for Madoka. There's no way Madoka can fight a witch alone, so why is she going out of her way to put herself in danger like this. She soon gets lost and stumbles across a group of Pytor, who immediately set their sights on her and attack. This is bad, and if this keeps up she may have to make a wish. She hears a voice and is soon found by Mami. Mami tells her she's just a magical girl passing by, then points her to the exit. She'll take care of the witch so it's better if Sayaka runs away now. Sayaka thanks her and immediately takes off running. Mami hadn't seen that one coming, but it's been awhile since she had her arms around one of these!

Day 16

Scene 11 (Kyoko)
Kyoko is in Mami's apartment. She calls out for her but there's no response. There's been no sign of her return since yesterday. Kyoko had heard that things in Mitakihara have been odd and the whole situation gives her a bad vibe. Was it the result of a witch attack? No, Mami was too good to lose to something like that. But if Mami has really been killed...

Day 17

Scene 12 (Madoka)

Outside the cafe, Hitomi bids her friends goodbye as she prepares to leave first. Madoka says her farewells while Sayaka thanks her once more for celebrating her discharge from the hospital. She turns and thanks Madoka as well. Madoka was more than happy, although she's sorry she was a bit late to the celebration. Now that Hitomi has left, Sayaka asks Madoka if the other girl who served them was a magical girl too. When Madoka nods, Sayaka then asks if she contracted as well? Madoka admits she didn't mean to hide it from her, it's just that she never had a good chance to bring it up. She apologizes to Sayaka, since she had been against it for the longest time. Sayaka tells her it's ok, since it's kind of her fault for making it so difficult to approach her with this kind of news, but she's not against it at all anymore. When she was still at the hospital, she ended up accidentally entering a witch's barrier. At the time, a magical girl she didn't know ended up helping her. But Sayaka didn't have enough time to thank her as she made her escape. She herself didn't have the courage to fight, but she couldn't well have argued with her since she was the one being rescued. But, it's not like Madoka has to fight alone at least. Madoka brightens up. She assures Sayaka she has nothing to worry about with Homura and Mabayu by her side. Well, if that's the case then Mitakihara is in good hands. Sayaka suddenly remembers the other half to the contract and asks Madoka what she ended up wishing for. Madoka tries to find the right words for a moment, then tells Sayaka she wished to give hope to people who are in despair. Sayaka is taken aback by this, as this makes Madoka sounds like some kind of saint. She thanks her in mock reverence, causing Madoka to tell her to stop teasing. Maybe her broken bone was healed as a blessing by this new benevolent deity?

Day 18

Scene 13 (Sayaka)

Sayaka winces in pain as she stands in the park alone at night. Although she's been discharged from the hospital, her wounds haven't completely healed just yet. It's a good thing she doesn't mind going to the hospital so much. Kyoko appraoches her, asking if she's ever seen this person. She hands Sayaka a photograph, and Sayaka immediately recognizes the person in it. She doesn't know her name, but she knows the face. Kyoko informs her the girl's name is Mami Tomoe. She too is a magical girl, and her and Mami go way back. But she's recently disappeared, so Kyoko traced her footsteps and managed to find her at the hospital. She snuck in and checked out the surveillance footage, but the people who entered and left the barrier don't match up. In other words, Mami never exited the barrier after going in. Sayaka's mood grows dark for a moment as she realizes she was probably the last person to have seen her alive. Kyoko stares at her and asks if she's a magical girl too, but Sayaka immediately refutes this. She hasn't signed a contract yet. She doesn't have the kind of courage Madoka has. Upon hearing the name, Kyoko asks if she contracted with Kyubey.

Day 21

Scene 14 (Homura)

Homura stands alone on the city bridge at night. During the last loop, a familiar had appeared around this area at about this time. Both Madoka and Mabayu have gone to look for Nagisa, so she'll be on her own. Right on cue, the entrance to a witch's barrier appears. However, just as quickly as it appeared it vanished, and Nagisa appears on the scene breathing heavily. Homura asks what she's doing here, but Nagisa yells at her that it doesn't matter. She's not going to listen to a thing she has to say because she's a bad girl! With that, Nagisa turns and bolts away. Homura calls out to her, but to no avail. She must have been fighting the witch all by herself.
