[ To be fair, it does make her a little sad, hearing those words from Homura-- "I would have destroyed the world." There's no way a girl like Madoka would ever want to see the world be destroyed like that, after all. But on the other hand, Homura seems so sad about it by now, and even though she says she would have, it's not like she did it.. there's a difference there, right?

From the way Homura talks to her now, so full of sorrow.. it's almost like there's more of a reluctance to those words, especially with that strain that accompanies her tone.

It isn't right. None of this is. Homura's happiness shouldn't be dependant on her own. She wants to see the other girl happy more than anything, but.. it shouldn't just have to be because of her. It isn't right. She isn't even important enough for that, so... ]

... Homura-chan..

[ For a moment sadness lingers in her gaze, but then she tries to smile softly again. No, she has to be the strong one this time. For Homura's sake as well. ]

We might have died, but.. that doesn't mean there isn't anything else left for you. Even if you wanted to destroy the world, you didn't do it. There's probably reasons for that, and.. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want to believe in you.

[ Because they're friends. ]

A world where you can live happily and normally too along with everyone else without having to think of being a magical girl.. that would make me really, really happy too. As long as you're happy, and everyone else is happy.. then I'm happy too, you know? [ And that's the truth. It's not hard to make Madoka happy when she's so easily happy at other people's happiness, especially the people closest to her. ]
