[ 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.

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.

...'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.
