It's not something that I often consider but I do wonder if it's really possible to move to another world. To start a new life. I've heard that other people have done it yet I doubt it'd be that easy.

How irresponsible of me, really. I'm not a person that could just move up and leave so easily... Mm, I wonder.

Likewise; I apologise for having to lie to you.

At least you have survived, and are still moving forward.

It was quite dicey for a while there.

Are you keeping a good amount of grief seeds for yourself and your friend?

We are gathering them efficiently yes. Even given the truth of matters, there is still a need for Puella Magi.

If you wish, we can share them with you if you wish to restart your life, though only if you agree to use magic minimally, and would return here temporarily for the seeds. [she's not risking them going offworld. Plus regular check-ins would ensure Mami herself had not dropped off the wagon as it were]

The only potential issue in that situation is if Kirika and I were to die ourselves, breaking the chain of supply.

Such fortitude... It might be a good thing for me to retire if there's such girls as yourself. [MAMI NO]

I've already started cutting down my magic usage. Your terms are agreeable enough. For now I'll keep hunting until I've come to a decision but once I have, if I decide to go off world, I'll agree to your terms.

I've managed several years of being a Magi. If you two work together carefully it shouldn't be too hard of a stretch to think you might last for a while.

I think the idea of at least one of us managing to retire is worth it on its own merits. [a kind of middle finger to the Incubators, as it were]

I can be contacted at any time. Until then, I wish you the very best of luck.

One more thing. It's not much but I have information. Strategies. I've kept records of my fights with the witches; how to expand one's magical knowledge. I've kept these notebooks since I started out. It may not be much but Kure-san and you might find them useful. I can make copies.

Ah! ...Thank you! Please, if you'd be so kind!

[~~and then began the Oriko School of Puella Magi and Pragmatism~~ but seriously this could help with the precog problem SHE IS ALL FOR THIS]

It's the least I could do.

Thank you for your kindness.

[she pauses, for a moment, but decides to go with it despite her concerns.

Surely, Tomoe has earned this much.]

...I can talk about it, if you wish. I've been aware of things since the beginning.

What are you going to do about yourself? ['And your friend'.]

Fight until I die. [it's quite that simple.]

I don't plan on that happening any time soon, and I fully intend to enjoy my life, but of the two ways I have seen for a Puella Magi's service to end that would be my choice.

If they are left unchecked, Witches will multiply and consume this world with just as much certainty as the catastrophe of Kaname Madoka. I cannot allow that.

Of course. I understand that.

It would be better to die fighting those creatures. That is our duty. [Our only purpose. Even if Mami is walking out on it...]

No, Tomoe, a Puella Magi has no obligations. They were deceived under false pretences. They have only the things they chose to do; it would be wrong to blame anyone for the paths they take under these conditions. Only the Incubators should be held accountable.

In my own case, I would have died without my contract. Even without that, I would have died to the curse of Kaname Madoka. I am fighting because I do not wish to see this world end, not for any sense of duty. It is my own decision.

... You do speak truth. I suppose I'm still not used to thinking like that.

I understand. My own contract came about due to--ah--similiar circumstances. In the past I fought because I felt that it was my duty, that it was the only thing I could do. I probably would have become a Witch myself if I didn't have that conviction.

Either way, as long as girls are fighting and keeping other girls from becoming Witches--then that's a good thing.

We will do what we can.

You're still a human being, Miss Tomoe. If you have been fighting all this time, you deserve to live your life.

Do you think we're still human, then, Miss Mikuni?

Of course we are; how else could the Kyubey lead us astray?

I mean: are we still human?

Yes, Tomoe, we are still human. Even like this. [admittedly from they way she says it, she does not have a lot of faith in the sanctity of being human; it's more of an objective assessment]

We can cry, we can be sad, we can have hope and we can fall to despair. We can try, we can make mistakes and we can succeed. We are still entirely human. What has changed is only our circumstances.

It seems you have a greater will than I ever had. Let's hope that you never run out of that conviction.

It's something I'd known from the start, and there are things I may still gain from this contract. [like having her world not end]

I can't afford to stop.

Good. ...Good.

That's a good line of thought.

It keeps me going, at least.

Stay safe, Miss Tomoe.

You as well, Miss Mikuni.
