YOU'RE WELCOME. ]

Greetings! My name is Kyuubey. I've been here for some time now, but I need advice from you all... Well, primarily from the humans amongst you. Namely, what should my purpose be in this universe, when my job was to save mine? If I am the result of a failed line of causality, and this a place that collects the detritus from inadequate realities, what is the purpose of our continued existence? We cannot cease to exist from our own desire, which would imply that we are meant to be, but can anyone claim to have contributed something to this reality? Does anyone believe they have a future, or any potential whatsoever, as long as they exist in this tower?

I'm asking only because as unbalanced, emotional species, you are much more likely to produce a rationale for your existence! The logical answer - that we have no future and no present - doesn't really work, does it? We're gonna keep going anyway... I thought I'd find out what you thought, and see if there was something I can do.

Well, it doesn't matter much. Since I have as little meaning here as you guys, let's all be friends!

Hm? That's a strange claim. I wasn't the one who killed her, or forced her into despair.

[ unlike someone. :3 ]

[Oh no, he did not just go there.]

Are you trying to blame me for what happened to Sayaka? You put her in that situation to begin with and then just quietly sat back while she ran herself into the ground knowing what would happen!

[Slamming her fist down in front of the terminal. She's trembling with anger now. She didn't do anything wrong, right? Sure, there were things she should have done differently, but she tried to save Sayaka. She tried until the very end. Trying to save her, keeping her from hurting people, saving her from the fate of being alone by dying with her...she did the right thing, didn't she?]

But even so, there was never any change of saving her to begin with after she turned into a witch, right? That was just more false hope. But even so, there was no way I could just leave her like that.

[That was the right thing to do. She won't accept anything less.]

Does any of that matter? Both you and Sayaka are here. Your deaths led Madoka to make the wish that unmade our universe, which brought us here. In that way, you could say you saved her.

Of course it matters! Sayaka--

[Hold on a second, something Kyuubey said is just now clicking.]

Wait, what are you talking about? There's no way Madoka would've done something like that.

I don't believe it was her intention, but her wish was so great that it completely rewrote the laws of our universe, and causality itself. In doing so, she destroyed our original reality.

[She's having a hard time wrapping her head around all this. Is something like that even possible?]

Just what did she wish for? That girl.

To erase all witches before they're born, in all time and space, with her own hands. [ no point in hiding that. ]

[Wow. That's just distracting enough to make her forget some of her rage.]

You've gotta be kidding me. Something like that--something like that would be the same as erasing all of us, wouldn't it!? Without any Grief Seeds we'd all die, y'know!

[It's not that she disapproves of the wish; certainly, Sayaka didn't deserve to suffer as she did. She doesn't wish it on anyone, but she can't imagine something a world without Witches any more than she could a world where food was unnecessary. And Madoka...]

And what would happen to that girl after making a wish like that?
