[ To some people, it may seem like Mami was not affected by the Tower's latest shenanigans, but she certainly was. She believes that ten years have passed for her, even if she doesn't look it. She chalks it up to being dead and therefor, being unable to age. Since, you know, the dead can only rot.

Sadly, that's not the case. ]

Good evening. My name is Mami Tomoe for those who don't know. [ She's mostly referring to the new comers because she has made a few network posts in the last ten years, right? ] If you need my assistance, I'll be glad to help you out. I can't say you'll enjoy your stay here sadly.

... I would like to speak to those who come from Mitakihara, or anyone who knows of our situation. [ Situation? If you're thinking Puella Magi stuff then ding! You're right! ]

I believe that's it, other than the usual "how's everyone been holding up in the Tower" question I usually ask. Stay safe everyone.

When I made it? Back then... I was only told that if in exchange for fighting witches as a magical girl, I would be granted one wish. That was all Jyuubey said at the time...

[carabina]

Did you find anything else out? Anything.... Jyuubey failed to tell you?

[After so long, that Mami didn't know... perhaps because they'd avoided telling her. It was... almost heartbreaking to let her know the truth. But she couldn't lie now.] Yes. The truth about Puella Magi. About Soul Gems.

That we grow up to be witches.

[carabina]

... We... Grow up to be witches?

[ She could have guessed they would never have normal lives - it was obvious, but this was too much for her. She couldn't bear it. Mami was silent, looking at the ring on her finger. ]

So, when Soul Gems... Darken... We... [ transform into witches. It wasn't hard to put two and two together. ]

[starofpleiades]

Yes... our Soul Gems turn into Grief Seeds if they become too tainted... because our Soul Gems are our actual souls.

[ A deathly silence seemed to follow the other girl's words. Mami's eyes widened, looking down at... Well, pretty much nothing in a sense. It's like she was trying to look pass the floorboards. She had no idea. All along, Kyuubey lied to her - maybe even used her to get the recruitment of Madoka and Sayaka.

The colour from her face seemed to be gone and she looked back up. She looked sick. ]

.... Anything else?

[starofpleiades]

[Kazumi lets her take her time to take that in. It's... pretty shocking. Especially considering besides herself - or Michiru, anyway - Mami had helped other girls become Puella Magi. To find out what that'd actually meant... she knew that was what had broken Michiru.]

...yeah, just. Those two things, for most girls. Ever from the start, our fate was to be... to despair as witches as much as we hoped as magical girls.
