[ Homura is playing with a small black cat under a tree; anyone from her world will recognize it as a place in the neighborhood near the school. She's dragging a stick back and forth, as the kitten wriggles and pounces on it. ]

Masamori-san, I've found the cat.

Ah, I'm glad to hear it.

[voice]

[reloadfromsave]

Thank you for helping. You can go home now, if you like.

[voice]

[shadow_spread]

It looks like you've got things under control. I should probably head back.

Call me if something comes up.

[voice]

[reloadfromsave]

I don't know if you could help if it did, but thank you.

[voice]

[shadow_spread]

It never hurts to try any resources that are available.

[voice]

[reloadfromsave]

Oh... that's a good point.

[madoka was just browsing her friendslist when...]

--Eh? Isn't that Amy?

teeheeheesob

[reloadfromsave]

Yes.

[stillneedawish]

Oh, I didn't know that anyone else knew about her!

[reloadfromsave]

...I didn't. Some girls passing by said her name.

I caught her trying to run into the road, and thought that I should keep an eye on her for a little while.

[stillneedawish]

Ehh? You mean that she almost got hit by a car! That would have been awful! I'm so glad that she's alright... but oh! I-it must be thanks to you for keeping an eye on her when you did, so thank you! I know she's only a stray, but, well, she means a lot to me... so um, I'm really grateful you kept her safe.

[reloadfromsave]

Don't worry about it.

Have you thought about taking her in? She would be safer.

[stillneedawish]

Mmm, I've thought about it before, to be honest... I'm just not sure what my parents would say, that's all, so I haven't worked out how to ask them yet.

[reloadfromsave]

I could take care of her, while you decide.

[stillneedawish]

You mean that you really wouldn't mind? If it would be too much trouble, well, I wouldn't want you to go out of your way!

[reloadfromsave]

I live by myself... and I like cats.

I'm Akemi Homura.

[stillneedawish]

Oh, really...? Well, then if you're sure, I'm sure that she'd love living with you!

I'm Kaname Madoka! You can just call me Madoka, though. It's nice to meet you, Akemi-san.

[reloadfromsave]

...'Homura' is fine.

[stillneedawish]

Oh, okay! Homura-chan, then...?

[reloadfromsave]

Yes, that's fine.

If you know the area, does that mean you go to Mitakihara?

[stillneedawish]

Oh, yes, I do! How did you know?

[reloadfromsave]

She was near the school.

[stillneedawish]

Oh! Of course, how silly of me... she usually waits for me when I come out of school every day, you see. I guess she must have been doing that when you found her.

[reloadfromsave]

I'm transferring there next week.

[stillneedawish]

Really? Then we might be classmates!

[reloadfromsave]

Hopefully.
