Amidst the Ruins

6.2.1

[at an intersection]

Sayaka: *After asking Madoka and Homura, I've finally come to Kamihama...*

*...but now what exactly should I do?*

Sayaka: "...mmm..."

"...Well, at first glance it seems like your normal town."

Madoka: "But strange things really are happening..."

Sayaka: "Then, should we investigate these 'strange things'?"

Madoka: "That sounds good..."

Sayaka: "These... rumor... things? Or maybe..."

Homura: "The Wings of Magius..."

[flashback to Ai-chan's barrier]

Alina: "Honestly..."

"Just before, that ribbon one was such a pain to deal with..."

"Alina is in a bad mood now."

Madoka: "Ribbons? Was that Mami-san?"

Alina: "Ah... It was something like that..."

"Well, she's already become material for my artwork."

[back to the street]

Madoka: "She said that, but..."

"I haven't confirmed that it's true!"

"I believe that Mami-san is okay!"

Homura: "Yeah!"

Sayaka: "Right!"

"Then, let's look for leads on this Alina person."

"Well, do you have any information on her?"

Madoka: "Umm..."

[flashback to the helipad]

Yachiyo: "Alina... You mean the up-and-coming young artist?"

Alina: "You know of Alina?"

Yachiyo: "The reincarnation series drawn with carbonized creatures..."

"It was so revolting yet beautiful that it left quite an impression on me..."

[back to the street]

Sayaka: "A young artist, huh..."

Homura: "...Might she be listed in some kind of exhibition book?"

Madoka: "Ah, that might work!"

Sayaka: "I see. Then, in order to find one of those..."

Homura: "We need to go to a library?"

Madoka: "Yeah, yeah!"

Sayaka: "And if she's in one of those books, then the artist's information might be listed!"

Madoka: "Then, let's go check out the library!"

Sayaka: "Alright, let's do it!"

6.2.2

[It's evening on a city street]

Sayaka: *In order to find clues leading to Alina, we went to a library and investigated photobooks of artwork...*

Sayaka: "We couldn't find anything..."

Madoka: "Yeah..."

Sayaka: "But we can try another library!"

"And aside from libraries, where... Where else could we look..."

Homura: "Let's do a search and see!"

Sayaka: *The results included libraries, schools, the city hall, and public archives...*

*But among those one name stood out.*

Sayaka: "The Kamihama Recording Museum?"

Homura: "Is it a museum where they collect... recordings?"

Madoka: "It sounds kinda amazing!"

Sayaka: "Okay, then how about there?"

Madoka: "Yeah, if it's a Recording Museum..."

Homura: "It seems like they might have a lot of documents!"

[fade to gray]

Sayaka: *And so we set off towards the Kamihama Recording Museum...*

[at the ruined museum]

Sayaka: "Uwah..."

Madoka: "It's... just ruins..."

Homura: "If I look again, it says 'Already shut down' here..."

"I-I'm sorry!"

Sayaka: "Ah, don't worry! It's not your fault."

Madoka: "Yeah!"

Sayaka: "The name sounded so perfect that..."

[she senses something]

Sayaka: "Huh...?"

Homura: "That was...!?"

Madoka: "This feeling!"

Sayaka: "Mami-san!?"

Homura: "I felt it from somewhere inside the museum!"

Sayaka: "Yeah, same here!"

"I never expected that it'd end up being directly connected to Mami-san!"

Madoka: "Sayaka-chan, we hit the jackpot!"

Sayaka: "Hehe, we sure did!"

someone: *Who's there!?*

Sayaka: "Huh?"

6.2.3

[in the museum]

someone: *Who's there!?*

Sayaka: "Huh?"

[a white and black wing show up]

black wing: "You..."

white wing: "What are you doing here!?"

[screen wipe]

Madoka: "It's those people!"

Homura: "The Wings of Magius!"

Sayaka: "Them!?"

[screen wipe]

black wing: "Oh? You know of us?"

white wing: "We'll have you explain in detail exactly who you are!"

Sayaka: "This seems bad..."

Madoka: <Homura-chan...>

Homura: <W-what do we do, Kaname-san?>

Madoka: <How about the two of us stop these people.>

<Sayaka-chan can go to where we felt Mami-san's presence!>

Sayaka: <Wait a minute! I can't leave you behind...>

Madoka: <At the least, each of us is your magical girl senpai, you know!>

<And also, I'm worried about what's happened to Mami-san...>

<So you have to hurry!>

Homura: <That's right, Kaname-san!>

<Miki-san, go on ahead!>

Sayaka: <...>

<I got it, senpai!>

black wing: "If you do not cooperate nicely..."

[Madoka transforms]

Madoka: "Sayaka-chan!"

[Homura transforms]

Homura: "Go now!"

black wing: "Wha—"

white wing: "What are you—"

Sayaka: "I'll be taking my leave!"

(Mami-san, you're there, right?)

*And when I arrived at where I sensed her presence...*

[we see Holy Mami and Iroha]

Mami: "Forgive me, Tamaki-san."

"I would have liked to speak with you just a bit more."

Iroha: "..."

Sayaka: "Wait just a moment!!"

Iroha: "!?"

[Sayaka appears!]

Sayaka: "What are you doing here, Mami-san!?"

[battle]

[in the park at night]

Sayaka: *Mami-san as I met her in Kamihama was not who I remembered her being...*

*And on top of that...*

(Becoming a witch...)

*After leaving the Kamihama magical girls, I repeated those words I heard over and over again...*

*...But I just couldn't understand it...*

(What should I do? Madoka... Homura...)

(I just don't get it...)

*But for now, I have to hurry and get to Madoka and Homura...*

(But...)

(My heart feels heavy...)

(Mami-san...)

[flashback to the museum]

Mami: "This is who I am now..."

"Miki-san, get out of my way..."

"We can discuss further once I've erased them..."

[back to the park]

Sayaka: (Why would she say that?)

(And how on earth should I explain this?)

(That magical girls will become witches in the end...)

[fade to gray]

Sayaka: *My head was swirling with all sorts of things...*

*I couldn't make heads or tails of any of it...*
