Scene 0 Film 5

"Nagisa and I will never see each other again." Understanding this, Homura moved to prevent Madoka from coming into contact with the witch, and Mabayu takes on Sayaka as a helper for Récompense to find the key to preventing Madoka's contract. However, when Sayaka, who had frequently visited the hospital, became a magical girl, Kyubey took advantage of this and contacted Madoka. Concerned that the situation might worsen, Homura went to see Sayaka, but she was warned off, and when it became known to Sayaka that Madoka was also a magical girl, she became distrustful. From then on, the rift was not bridged before the battle against Walpurgisnacht, thus Mabayu and her friend decided to repeat time in the battle.

Summary

Day 1

• 

An alarm rings, waking up Mabayu Aki. She struggles to wake up and wonders if it was all a dream. But she knows better, and Nagisa no longer exists.

• 
• 

Mabayu meets up with Homura in her room at the hospital. There, Homura apologizes for having brought Mabayu all the way through the last time loop, but Mabayu didn't mind since it made her glad to be there until the end as well. Although Mabayu misses Nagisa, Homura reminds her their goal is to stop Madoka from contracting at all costs. If Nagisa were to reappear, that would mean the failure of their mission. Nagisa can never be resurrected again, and they had to be prepared for that from the beginning. Mabayu agrees, and points out their mistake was in telling Madoka the true identity of witches. Madoka's kindness set that tragedy into motion, and Homura won't be making that mistake again.

Day 6

• 
• 

It's nearing the end of the day and the class are on a field trip to an auto plant. At the moment they're on a restroom break as the class disperses. Things have been going well so far as Mabayu and Homura retrace their memories of the previous loops and have thus far prevented Madoka from contracting. However, Kyubey managed to sneak past them and contacted her while they were fighting the witch. This time they'll take the advantage. Homura asks Mabayu to read her future, after which Mabayu says she has only one request of her.

Inside the witch's barrier, a lost and confused Madoka Kaname calls out for her friend Sayaka Miki. She continues to call out her friend's name and soon finds her wandering in the same gray barrier. Sayaka is relieved to see her and admits she gets lost all the time. Madoka assures her she was lost in this same area last year. Sayaka asks her which way is the exit, when Mabayu appears and points them to the way out. Madoka asks if she's also a student at Mitakihara, so Mabayu smiles and nods, warning them people get lost in this area and go missing every year. Sayaka laughs and calls her a kidder, but inwardly Mabayu knows it wasn't a total lie. She shows them the way out of the barrier.

Scene 1 (Kyoko)
Kyoko approaches the auto factory where a witch has become ready for her to harvest, but she recognizes Mami, who is standing nearby. She thinks it's a weird twist of fate for her to be here now so she goes up and greets her with an annoyed look on her face. Mami is surprised to see her, but Kyoko speaks up first and asks what's wrong with her. She's not the type to ignore a nearby witch and her victim. But Mami isn't worried since Kyoko could easily take care of the problem in a matter of minutes. Kyoko shrugs and admits it's true. She changes the subject and asks Mami about the rumor she heard that she'd been operating outside of Mitakihara lately. She asks if something happened, but Mami tells her to mind her own business and leaves. Kyoko stands there and asks herself if she's gone crazy.
Scene 2 (Kyoko)
The Cow witch appears. Kyoko doesn't know how they'll divide the spoils after. She never gets tired of going after this particular witch and getting defeated year after year, but this time she plans on finishing it off for good. Before she can attack, a voice stops her, telling her there's no need. She looks up in time to see several explosions go off at the same time, destroying the witch. The barrier dissipates, leaving an astonished Kyoko standing there. Somehow this mysterious person had taken down the powerful witch with an attack that couldn't be seen. Homura makes her presence known, telling Kyoko she was the one to nail it down first. This immediately makes Kyoko suspicious of her, causing her to demand how it is she knows her name. Homura tells her there's no need to pry, and she'll be the one to take care of Mitakihara so she better not mess with anything. With that, she leaves. Kyoko angrily calls out after her but Homura disappears. Kyoko is pissed. Homura had taken the grief seed and apparently the city. Was this the reason Mami was acting so strangely? Since she knows nothing of the situation, she decides to stay out of it lest she get burned.

• 

Back outside in the fresh air, Madoka and Sayaka thank her for her help. She says it was no problem, then suddenly gasps and points to a UFO flying around in the distance. As soon as they look away, Mabayu telepathically gives the signal and Homura freezes time. Mabayu soon finds Kyubey lurking around and, using the gun she borrowed from Homura, shoots him full of bullets. Having accomplished her own task, Homura warns Mabayu she's about to resume time. Mabayu steps back into place and gives her the go ahead. The bullets tear into Kyubey with a loud popping sound, causing Sayaka and Madoka to jump up in surprise. Mabayu tells them it was probably just some firecrackers or something. When Sayaka can't find the UFO she pointed out, Mabayu promises it was just there only a moment ago and giggles to herself. Sayaka is suspicious at first, but when the teacher calls out to the students to head back to the bus, she drops the subject in disappointment. Mabayu is glad the somewhat dangerous situation is over now, and asks Homura how she fared. Homura telepathically responds, saying she had no problems on her end just as Mabayu had predicted. While Homura couldn't kill witches and protect Madoka from Kyubey on her own, with the two of them it's much more manageable. Mabayu is pleased with their teamwork.

Day 10

Mabayu and Homura meet on the school's rooftop. Mabayu reminds her today is the day a witch appears in the shopping mall and Sayaka got injured. At the time they were trapped in a situation where they had to protect Madoka and the others at the same time as fighting the witch. If they can prevent that situation from happening again, they shouldn't have any problems. Mabayu is glad Sayaka won't have to get hospitalized again. Homura had underestimated Madoka, believing she would stop getting involved if she knew how dangerous it all was, but the injury of her best friend only drove her closer to making a contract. Now the plan is to prevent either of them from encountering any witches, however the trouble is two witches will appear concurrently today. Mabayu remembers this, and how Homura had asked Mami to take care of the problem with the second witch. Homura says that's true, but it won't work this time because she put Mami in charge of a different city to prevent her from running into any of the witches in this city again. Mabayu agrees it's best to reduce the certainty as much as possible, but then... Mabayu jumps with surprise as she realizes Homura is proposing they split up so she can take down the second witch on her own. When Homura replies in the affirmative, Mabayu immediately goes into a slight panic as she tells her that's impossible since she failed last time too. There's no way she can possibly defeat a witch on her own! Homura, straight-faced as always, tells her she was just joking. Mabayu is immediately relieved, then tells her not to joke around so seriously. The real plan is for Homura to defeat the first witch on her way to school as soon as possible, then head to the shopping mall. Meanwhile, Mabayu is to stall for time, keep Sayaka and Madoka away from the witch, and not leave Madoka's side at all. Mabayu grins and says it'll be a piece of cake.

• 

Later that afternoon at a different café, Mabayu sighs heavily to herself. She had taken on the assignment like it was no big deal, but for someone as shy as her it's quite the challenge. At a table nearby, Madoka is talking with Sayaka and Hitomi about the new transfer student. It felt like she had met her before in her dream, which causes her two friends to only laugh in response. Sayaka even jokes around, laughing as she says Madoka's character has started to develop. Mabayu watches and considers her next move. This is going to be harder than she thought, since in this time loop she's rarely spoken to them except to point out a UFO that wasn't even there. It'll be hard for a suspicious person like her to suddenly break into their conversation, and on top of that she has to make sure they don't find out she's a magical girl. While Mabayu wracks her brains unsuccessfully for an ice breaker, Hitomi stands and tells her friends she'll have to get going as it's getting late. Madoka and Sayaka also stand to leave, but not before they stop by the CD shop first. Mabayu realizes her opportunity is about to escape, so she approaches them and stutters as she gets their attention. The two recognize her as the UFO girl from the other day and thank her for helping them out when they were lost. Mabayu tells her it's no problem, but doesn't know what to say when Sayaka asks what she wants with them. Madoka asks if it's something hard for her to say, so Mabayu grabs that lifeline and says it's a super secret topic. A skeptical Sayaka replies they don't need any religion or occultism, and informs her they have to hurry to the CD shop. Mabayu gets an idea, and says that's exactly what she wanted to talk to them about. Since she's a big video geek, she knows how expensive media can be and how hard it must be for a middle schooler with little disposable income. Sayaka quietly asks Madoka if this isn't some kind of dangerous invitation, but Madoka isn't so sure. When she asks Mabayu if she's talking about a part time job, Mabayu hushes her. She never said anything about a part time job, but she does need some help with their work.

Day 11

• 
• 

The bell on the café door rings as Sayaka bids goodbye to the last customer of the day. Sakie giggles pleasantly as she thanks Sayaka for her hard work. She really enjoys having such an energetic girl working at the café. Overhearing this, Mabayu makes a face as she calls herself an introvert with zero motivation. Sayaka tells her senpai not to be so depressed, causing Mabayu a bit of surprise at the title. Sayaka replies it's only natural she call her senpai since she's her senior at work and a whole grade level above her at school. Mabayu says she's no senpai, but Sayaka asks her senpai why she's being so shy, since she appreciates what her senpai does. Mabayu shudders as the powerful new feeling of self-awareness forced on her by a kouhai washes over her. Sakie congratulates Mabayu-senpai, causing Mabayu to tell her not to tease her too. Since they're on the subject, Sayaka asks her why she approached her of all people the other day. Mabayu tells her she figured she would be in need of the money, and since Sakie had been wanting to hire new employees it seemed like a match. Sayaka could kind of understand why she would approach her, considering Mabayu doesn't have many friends and she's practically a stranger to her. Mabayu points out her love of movies, so she's often at the store getting videos and would regularly see Sayaka in the CD section. Sayaka smiles and admits she checks the weekly top hits chart every week since she loves metal music. Mabayu nods and tells her she would often see her headbanging to music. Sayaka admits it was a lie, a total lie, while Mabayu tells her it's true, completely true. Sayaka once more tells her it's a complete lie because she's never listens to metal music. Mabayu is taken back as she realized she was tricked. When Sayaka asks her why she's hiding something from her, Mabayu doesn't respond. Sayaka tells her it's ok if she doesn't want to tell her the reason, since she did her a big favor by getting her the job. But she hopes she tells her soon in the future and bids her goodbye for the day. Mabayu cringes; she knows she's a terrible liar.

Day 13

Scene 3 (Sayaka)

It's night time and Sayaka is happily talking to herself as she walks home. She feels bad for Madoka and Hitomi, but she's gotten better at helping out at the café and it's helped her save up some money. With that, she decides to go back and buy a bunch of CDs. However, she hears a voice call out her name. She turns around, asking herself what was that voice she heard just now. Kyubey responds it wasn't a voice per se since he's speaking to her directly through her mind. Sayaka mistakes him for the latest model of stuffed animal. Kyubey introduces himself, then asks her to do something for him: contract with him and become a magical girl. But Sayaka doesn't understand what he's talking about.

Day 14

Scene 4 (Sayaka)

Kyosuke and Sayaka stand in his hospital room. Kyosuke is amazed at how many CDs Sayaka brought him, and they're rare ones too. But Sayaka shrugs it off and tells him not to worry about the cost thanks to the cake shop she's been helping out at. She also brought him a cake from said shop. He marvels at the delicious looking cake, while Sayaka declares cakes from Récompense to be the best in the world. He asks her if she's made many good friends while working there. She smiles and nods, but Kyosuke doesn't look so happy. Out in the hospital lobby, Sayaka wonders if maybe she had been insensitive to Kyosuke's feelings. But surely the Kyosuke she knew before would have been happy for her. However, the look he had was the saddest and loneliest thing she'd ever seen.

Day 15

Scene 5 (Homura)

Homura stands above Charlotte. She tells the witch there are no more little girls to pray for her, no blessing that can replace the curse that consumes her. So she'll go ahead and end her now. She dodges left and right several times in a row before dropping a bomb in anticipation of Charlotte's next move. The witch is damaged by the explosion, but Homura hears Mabayu's voice calling out to her with telepathy as she warns her of Kyubey's appearance. Charlotte takes advantage of the lull in the fight to transform and release it's other form. Homura stops time and throws multiple bombs at Charlotte. Mabayu relays they're done here. Homura bids Charlotte goodbye and prays they never meet again. Time starts up once more and Charlotte is no more.

Day 20

(There are no scenes in the main story for Day 20).

Scene 6 (Sayaka)

Madoka, Hitomi, Kyosuke, and Sayaka (in her work uniform) are at Récompense where they toast to Kyosuke's successful discharge from the hospital. Kyosuke thanks everyone for joining him here today, but Sayaka says it's a special occasion so of course the more the merrier. Madoka cheerfully agrees and urges everyone to have fun. Hitomi decides to take this opportunity to get a closer look at Sayaka's maid uniform. Madoka thinks Sayaka looks cute in the uniform, causing Sayaka to blush and tell them to hurry up and eat the cake instead. Kyosuke stops and stares at the cake. He's never seen such a cake but before Sayaka can reply, Hitomi interrupts and recognizes it as a [[wikipedia:Turrón|turrón]. Hitomi has had them before since her chef makes them for her sometimes. It's an Italian sweet from the 15th century. That's when Kyosuke notices the music playing in the café currently is La traviata and asks if it's not related to the cake somehow. Sayaka blushes and admits it was written in Italy at around the same time. She had been hoping he would understand the connection. Madoka thinks it just sounds like gibberish to her, so Sayaka urges them to eat more cake rather than listen to more trash. Kyosuke happily takes a big bite, then declares it delicious. Sayaka is pleased to see Kyosuke look so happy. Isn't this great?

Day 23

(There are no scenes in the main story for Day 23).

Scene 7 (Sayaka)

Sayaka and Madoka are talking by the river as the sun sets. With their different magics, long-range and short-range, Madoka believes they're the perfect match against witches. Sayaka agrees they make a good team. Since she's still so new at it and Sayaka has been at it longer, Madoka asks her for pointers. Sayaka gives it some thought before asking Madoka to call her senpai since she's the senior. Sayaka demands she be called senpai but Madoka laughs and tells her no. That's when they notice Hitomi talking with Kyosuke off in the nearby distance. They can see them talking, but aren't close enough to hear anything. Sayaka looks at the ground glumly before trying to laugh it off. Maybe they're on a date since Hitomi's confession went well? The two of them do look like a couple in love. Madoka gets serious and asks Sayaka if she's ok. Sayaka puts on a big smile and asks what she's talking about. She pretends to suddenly understand she was referring to the whole Kyosuke thing before flatly denying it. She insists her and Kyosuke are just childhood friends with a rotten relationship, unlike Hitomi who is a good girl so she hopes they do end up together. No, if anything she feels relieved at the sight. Super relieved.
