[The feed turns on to the face of someone possibly familiar.]
Ahh, it is working? I was afraid this worked differently than the one I'm used to.
[She folds her hands in her lap, but awkwardly--because her left hand keeps twitching uncontrollably. If you study her for longer than a few seconds, you'll notice it's for a reason. Her entire left arm, as well as the left half of her face is horribly scarred, with a lightning-like pattern on the skin itself. Her left eye is partially closed, and overall the left side of her seems awkward.]
My name is Madoka Kaname. If anyone here is familiar with a place called the Facility, please contact me. [she pauses, looking a bit unsure.]
I guess...maybe it's good it was destroyed, if our worlds are all really gone, now. I hope everyone was able to get out safely, and those who weren't...
[A longer pause.]
They're in a better place, now.

...I'm just not the right Sayaka. What I remember's probably just awful compared to the Mitakihara you knew.
['I'm not the right Sayaka' - it's a thought that's been niggling in her head ever since she met Mami again, something that's just become a solid truth now.]
no subject
[That alone makes her jolt up from her seat.]
H-Hey, that's...alright, see, I've already gone through enough of this time business, so when you were in the Facility, you didn't remember the same things either. [ . . . ] And that's just what this is. It's not that you're the 'right Sayaka' or the 'wrong Sayaka', you just don't have the same memories, okay...?
[It's said with Madoka's same level of earnesty, though her words are rushed and frantic.]

She's been here a few months, too. Um, let me think, I know what room she's in.
[--When the number comes back to her, Sayaka smiles. It's kind of neat all three of them are on the same floor.]
It's room 1-01. I don't know if she's there now, but.
no subject
[Her voice drops down to a whisper.]
How much does she know...about Witches?
no subject
[The name was highly foreboding, so even if she'd only heard it spoken once months ago, Sayaka remembers it clearly.]
Something named Walpurgisnacht.
no subject
Mami-san...she knew...Walpurgisnacht...
no subject
[That just raises more questions.]

[..So not everyone else's timelines were as happy as Mami's. It almost makes her feel a little better, but realizing that it does just makes her feel worse.]
I think you really should talk to Mami-san soon, then. Things went a lot differently for her.

[Despite her trailing off, Sayaka's current body language seems rather happy.]
..everyone worked together and beat it. It sounds nearly like a really happy dream, doesn't it...?
no subject
no subject
[It's another tenet of the mindset Sayaka's built up towards this Mami - it's still Mami-san, but this was like a second chance, after waiting so long to make her own contract-]
...I mean, wouldn't you wanna help her more, because her world was so happy? It's like..
[Sayaka clams up there, realizing what 'it's like' was just going to lead into the same 'wrong world' reasoning Madoka had just chastised her for.]
no subject
Aha...you're right.
In the Facility, I was used to keeping Mami-san from the awful truth of things, I even had to take her Soul Gem from her to make sure she didn't see [...] Oktavia. Maybe she needs it even more...
no subject
What would she say if she knew Sayaka had gone as far as to smash it entirely, in a failed try at saving her from the pods?]
Mami-san is still a really strong person, but we'll just have to keep a sly eye out for her as her underclassmen, right? That's all -
[There's something else. That name Madoka used.. it puts a strange chill through her, like her insides are coated in ice water.
She is really getting sick of the emotional rollercoaster today.]
- Nn. That name, 'Oktavia'...
[That was it. The source of her renewed discomfort.]
Something about it makes me not want to hear it again.
no subject
That's a feeling easy to understand. I'll refrain. [Like she never wanted to hear the name Gretchen ever again.]
