Scene 0 Film 6
A flowchart of events happening in the same time. In order to take advantage of this and prevent Madoka from signing a contract, Mabayu once more invites Sayaka to help with Récompense. While following Sayaka on her daily visits to the hospital, Mabayu gets closer to her wish to "heal Kyosuke" and her 'love' for him. As she talks with Sayaka, who is shaken by Hitomi's confession of her love for Kyosuke, she comes to a decision about her own love for him. However, when Sayaka laments that she is no longer human, she throws away her soul gem and dies, and Madoka becomes a magical girl to save Sayaka. Then, they took on Walpurgisnacht.
Summary
Day 1
An alarm rings, waking up Mabayu Aki and leaving her with a heavy heart. She gets ready for school and heads straight to Homura's room in the hospital. She apologizes to Homura for what transpired in the last time loop, but Homura doesn't mind since she was able to gain vital information for her mental flowchart of the time loop's span of time. That, and she doesn't want to eliminate Sayaka anymore than Mabayu does. Mabayu asks if they should focus their efforts on preventing Sayaka from contracting as well. Homura doesn't think it would be feasible, and it would be a lot of effort to stay ahead of Kyubey at every single step of the way. However, her main concern is not seeing Madoka upset, so she suggests they stick to the same plan as last time.
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. In order to make the best use of the flowcharts they've constructed, Mabayu and Homura will attempt to replicate their actions from the last time loop as much as possible. She was able to successfully get Sayaka to work part time at the café once more. 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 would regularly see Sayaka in the CD section. She points out Sayaka's love of classical music, causing Sayaka to fidget in embarrassment a bit. She asks if it doesn't suit someone like her, but Mabayu shakes her head and reminds her people are not what they seem. Sayaka admits she knew it, which makes Mabayu realize she basically agreed with her on it not suiting her personality. She quickly scrambles to come up with a more positive change of topic, so she asks Sayaka if she likes movies. Sayaka replies she likes them as much as the next person, so Mabayu latches on to the topic. She gushes about how much she herself loves movies, and although she doesn't know much about music, she's seen plenty of films on the subject. One of her favorite films in her collection is a biopic on Mozart that won tons of awards. She offers to lend it to Sayaka next time, with Sayaka eagerly agreeing.

Homura and Mabayu are alone in her pendulum room. This time around, Mabayu has been doing very well. Homura asks if it's because her communication skills have improved, but Mabayu shakes her head and assures her it's not. She's the type of person that is always thinking about what went wrong last time so she can avoid that, and if she knows something about the person then at least she has something to work with. She can use that to her advantage and get the person to like them more. Homura tells her it sounds like she's talking about it like it's a video game, but so long as Sayaka keeps liking her more, then they can alleviate some of her potential suffering. This time, Mabayu will take Madoka's place and continue to observe Sayaka's part of the time loop.
Day 14
At café Récompense, a customer asks a glum Sayaka for the bill. When Sayaka doesn't respond at first, Mabayu steps in and rings the customer up. Once the customer leaves, Sayaka half-heartedly bids them goodbye. She notices how downcast Sayaka looks and remembers this happening in the last time loop too. According to Homura's flowchart, tomorrow is the day Sayaka becomes a magical girl. It's possible her lack of energy was due to that. Sayaka forces a smile as she thanks Mabayu for lending her the movie. It was one she'd been interested in for a while. Mabayu breaks down into full movie otaku mode, blathering on about how the actor trained in piano for the movie, and how the music and research weren't as good as it could be but it was still very faithful to the source material. As she's going on about the lighting techniques used, she stops mid-sentence when she finally notices that Sayaka had been staring at her wide-eyed ever since she started ranting. She curses herself for going off like that and quiets down. The only thing Sayaka had thought when she watched the movie was how fate was ironic. Even if a person were to have talent or try their hardest, there's no guarantee they'll be happy. It's too sad. Bad guys should suffer the worst and the people who persevered should be rewarded. Mabayu tries to think of her next move. The last time this happened, she came up with her own theory and ended up with Sayaka distancing herself from her. This time, she empathizes with her by agreeing. The entire world was so unreasonable. If only there were a hero of justice to take care of things, but maybe Mabayu has simply seen too many movies. Sayaka sheepishly grins to herself when she hears the term. She thinks that's not a bad idea, and it sounds just like Mabayu. She thanks her senpai then happily gets back to work, leaving Mabayu confused. She was so sure Sayaka had wanted to be a hero of justice, but if that's not the case then what was it she did she wish for.
Day 15
Sayaka looks around in Kyosuke's hospital room, but he isn't there. When she steps out into the lobby, she runs into his nurse. She recognizes her as his friend, and explains his doctor's appointment had been moved up so he's currently in the rehabilitation room. She thanks them then stalks off. The nurses recognize her as someone who visits Kyosuke often, and mention how difficult he's been to handle. They talk about how he used to be a genius violinist before the accident, but even if he were to recover his fingers would never allow him to play an instrument again. Mabayu overhears the nurses talking, then kicks herself when she learns of the situation. She knew the name, so she'd overlooked him. She should have guessed Sayaka would wish to heal him. When she turns around, Kyubey is sitting there before her. She jumps back in surprise as Kyubey says her name. When he asks what she's doing here, she lies and tells him she's running a delivery. Sayaka finds them and is surprised when she realizes Mabayu can talk with Kyubey.
Down in the hospital lobby, Madoka greets Mabayu and thanks her for taking care of Sayaka, as well as for the delicious cakes Sayaka brings her. Mabayu smiles and agrees with how delicious the cakes are, and how tempting it is to eat them in the middle of the night. At the same time, she asks Homura telepathically what she should do now that she's been discovered. Homura says they can't do anything about that, but rather this might be a blessing in disguise. Last time, Mabayu's lie was the deciding factor in Sayaka turning against them. If they plan to have her join them in the final better, she'll have to reveal herself eventually. While Homura takes care of her half of the plan, Mabayu continues with hers. Madoka points down to the ground and asks what that cat thing is. Kyubey introduces itself to her, glad to finally be able to meet her. According to what he'd told Sayaka, for whatever reason he wasn't able to get close to her until now. But that doesn't matter, all he wants is for her to make a contract to become a magical girl. But Mabayu's not going to let that happen.
Later that evening, Sayaka and Mabayu are talking during their shift at the café. She never would have thought Mabayu-senpai was a magical girl. Mabayu apologizes for having to hide it from her, but Sayaka understands it's not something they can talk freely about nor would anyone believe them. She asks Mabayu what she wished for, since she's a magical girl she must have made a contract. Mabayu shakes her head; even though she's a magical girl, she doesn't remember what her wish was when she contracted. Sayaka is sorry to hear it and considers it a waste. Mabayu agrees, then tells her if she could make a wish now it would be to watch movies from all over the world for free. Sayaka rolls her eyes. However, she does have a clue about her wish. Her mother was a fortune teller who was famous for her accuracy. One day, she realized her own mortality and became depressed for a long time, despairing about the future. But in her last memory of her mother, she looks happy and at peace. So it's possible she wished to take away her suffering. Sayaka looks at her almost sadly. Mabayu had used her wish on someone precious to her. Mabayu tells her that's just what she imagines it must be, she honestly has no memories of making the contract. Although it does bother her that she can't remember much else about it, but it's too much of a mystery. Perhaps she erased some of her own memories of the past, but then what reason could she have had. Sayaka smiles and thanks her for sharing her story.
Day 16
Mabayu, in camouflage, stalks behind a saddened Sayaka as she enters the hospital lobby. As expected, she's come to visit someone in the hospital. On the night of this day, Sayaka first appeared as a magical girl in the previous time loop so she must have made her contract with Kyubey here.
(Same as in episode 4)
Sayaka asks Kyosuke what he's listening to. He tells her it's La fille aux cheveux de lin, and Sayaka correctly identifies it as a composition by Debussy. Kyosuke gives no response, and after a heavy silence Sayaka speaks up once more. She admits she's the kind of person most people are surprised to learn is into classical music, but she's been helping out at a cake shop recently and her senpai there had told her people are not what they seem. None of that matters though, since it was thanks to Kyosuke she gave classical music a chance and was able to really appreciate it. Breaking out of his silence, Kyousuke interrupts with a firm voice. Sayaka falls silent instinctively. He asks her if she's trying to torture him by making him listen to music. She begins by saying she thought he loved music, but he interrupts her. He doesn't want to listen to music, especially now that he can never pay such beautiful music ever again. He slams his hand down on his CD player in frustration. The player snaps, with pieces of it cutting his skin open and causing him to bleed. Sayaka hurriedly grasps Kyousuke's left hand to hold it back as she begs him to stop. Kyousuke breaks down crying in frustration. He holds up his hand as he laments his situation. With a hand like this, he can't even feel pain much less get the fingers to move. Sayaka attempts to console him by encouraging him not to give up, but Kyosuke cuts her off once more. Even his doctor has told him to give up on his dream of ever playing the violin again. Current medical technology just isn't enough and it would take a miracle at this point. Seized by heartrending feelings, Sayaka looks on, determined at last. She cries out, "Miracles and magic do exist" as she looks up to find Kyubey's silhouette in the window. Mabayu, who had been watching this entire time, realizes that Sayaka must have made her contract for Kyosuke's sake.
Up on the hospital's rooftop, Sayaka asks Kyubey if any wish can come true. Just as she's about to make her wish, Mabayu calls out for her to wait and makes her appearance. Sayaka asks her senpai what she's doing here. She tells her she ended up overhearing her conversation with Kyosuke earlier while she was running a delivery. Mabayu then asks her if she's going to make a contract in order to heal her friend's hand. Sayaka wasn't so sure about her choice. If she had the right to make a choice and someone was suffering right in front of her, she shouldn't hesitate but still she did. Mabayu figures she wasn't convinced, despite hearing him say such terrible things after coming to visit him day in and day out. They both agree it's a terrible situation. Sayaka's face grows concerned as she tells Mabayu that the real Kyosuke would never have said the things he did. The real Kyosuke was always smiling, cheerful, and loved music with all his heart. He devoted his heart and soul to seriously studying the violin. If despair changed him into who he is now, then Sayaka can give him hope and bring back the Kyosuke she loves. Surely Mabayu went through the same thing, watching someone she cares about suffer while all she can do is watch.
Mabayu recalls the way her mother looked and the way she rejected her and Sakie after she saw her own death. It was like she was changed into a completely different person. It was the most painful thing she'd endured and all she wanted was for her mother to return to her former self. It was possible that is what she wished for. Kyubey breaks her reverie, telling her he understands her concern but this is ultimately Sayaka's decision to make so she should respect her feelings. Mabayu apologizes to Sayaka for intruding like she did, but if Sayaka is determined to make her contract, then she and Sayaka can protect the peace in Mitakihara together. She makes her contract and screams as her soul is turned into a gem. Kyubey hands her the soul gem and tells her it's her fate.
Day 18
Day 22
| Scene 1 (Sayaka) |
|---|
| Sayaka stands alone in the park at night. Hitomi has said she'd hold off for an entire day, so Sayaka is resolved to call Kyosuke that night. She has to tell him that she needs to see him right now. Kyubey appears and approaches her, asking what's wrong. She explains that it doesn't matter how many times she's stabbed or if a bomb goes off near her, she remains completely unharmed because she's no longer human and that's the reality of it. Kyubey nods; so long as the soul gem remains unharmed, a magical girl's body can be repaired with magic almost immediately. Sayaka looks sadly to the ground and remembers that she became an ally of justice, fighting against witches. |
Day 23
| Scene 2 (Madoka) |
|---|
| Sayaka and Madoka stand on the overpass bridge. Sayaka is in tears, saying she didn't become a magical girl because she wanted someone to look up to her. She suddenly throws her soul gem to the street below. Madoka then panics as Sayaka almost immediately collapses to the ground. She seems to have stopped breathing, so is she dead? Kyubey appears and asks Madoka what's wrong. Stammering, Madoka points out how Sayaka isn't breathing and hurriedly asks if it's possible to save Sayaka by contracting. He's sure that's an easy thing to provide, so Madoka says to Kyubey "Sign a contract with me... Please save Sayaka-chan!" |
