[ She really looks like she's trying to hold back tears, now. No, this wasn't good. None of this was good. What happened the last time Homura swore to protect her? That awful F3 trip, the black blood...she was worried, but she was also wary. She doesn't know if she can actually trust Homura, and that's what scares her the most.
Homura was her best friend, one of her closest companions. And all she had to offer was a big wall of uncertainty. Was she actually...afraid of her? Granted, this was a different Homura entirely. The 'tough' Homura, the cool, collected one, from one of the later timelines she'd never actually met back home, but...it was still her. Who's to say she wouldn't make a rash choice just to protect her and the others? ]
I can't...let you do that...
[ Every voice in her head is screaming. Stop! Talk to her! Tell her the truth!
But her voice ultimately gets caught in her throat, tossing her back into the wavering silence she hated herself too much for using. ]
