“I don’t think it quite works that way in terms to ‘better’ wishes,” it was an interesting question at the very least. “A wish can affect how powerful you are, yes. But it isn’t the only factor.”

“But, I suppose unless a wish is something unneeded or silly, it’ll fall under this ‘better’ half of this spectrum, so I wouldn’t worry about yours not being so. Whatever you wished for must have been necessary.”

[asoftersakura]

“Oh? That’s the case?” Momo sighed, looking incredibly relieved by what she’d been told. Her wish might’ve been necessary, but she’d be unable to get the thought she might’ve been able to make a ‘better’ one out of her head. Nodding earnestly, the little girl confirmed what Homura had said. “Y-Yeah...I'm p-pretty sure it was important.”

“Good,” It’d be terrible if she got killed on the first witch hunt, so best to avoid that possibility. “And, yes, quite a few, enough to qualify me as a veteran,” Or rather the same ones over and over again, 

[asoftersakura]

“That’s so cool!” Momo chirped back with enthusiasm, in awe over the fact she was with a veteran magical girl. Her older sister counted, too, technically, but Momo hadn’t known most of the time, and she hadn’t been a magical girl herself back then. “Are they ever scary?” She inquired innocently, unable to stop with the barrage of question that kept coming to her mind as they continued their conversation.

At first, Momo had meant to try and ward off the other Magical girl who’d entered; She was able to hear the commotion of the fighting behind her, and had doubled back to try and convince the other girl to leave.

However, going back, she stopped the moment she noticed the glowing orange and red flashes of heat she was all too familiar with. With a screech half choked out by sheer terror, Momo leapt back, body tensing and twitching. “That’s- The- N-No, nononononono-”

That’s what I’ve heard from the rumor mill. Don’t know if it’s true or not. She’s so bad at hiding her feelings. The way he smile just falls could be called sad. But it’s that easy to read aspect of her that’s both endearing and useful. But that don’t mean ya should worry. Yer big sis sounds like a strong person right? It should just take one look fer ‘er ta realize who ya are.

Then things can get bettah right?

“Yeah!” Momo agreed with a stronger smile, feeling reassured by Kanna’s words. If she could find Kyouko, then she knew her sister would listen to her. Suddenly curious, the girl peered up at her senior with questioning eyes. “Do you have any family like that, Kanna-oneesan?” Momo asked innocently.

“I’m able to pause time, and my shield has an infinite storage space,” she explained, and gave the girl a curious look, “Why do you ask?”

“W-Well, mainly...I was thinkin’ about how our powers were supposed to show up based on our wishes.” She elaborated on her question, before wringing her hands together. “I was wondering if maybe some wishes meant some girls were stronger than others just ‘cause they have "better” kinds of wishes...And I was wondering if my wish was a better kind.”

“I do hope you keep to that promise,” Homura commented, and began moving to go after the witch, not wanting to waste any more time standing around. Glancing back once to see if the girl was following 

“Once we reach the Labyrinth, you’ll want to be careful of the Familiars inside it.”

“G-Got it!” The younger magical girl nodded, anxious with both nervousness and excitement. “I’ll make sure to be careful- No way I’ll let a monster get the better of me!” Momo insisted earnestly as she followed Homura. “-H-Have you b-beaten a lot of witches, Homura-san?”

[asoftersakura]

🍎🍎”Well come on~ Get up and get dressed so that we can head out, kay?” She’d already begun packing the other’s clothes and whatever else didn’t get destroyed in plastic bags just in case she’d decided to move them to a new place, They were by the crisp door. She’d lay out tow outfits for her sis to choose from.🍎🍎

“R-Right!” Momo agreed quickly, nodding and picking up one of the outfits. It was the lighter, more breezy of the two, and the little one figured they’d be doing a lot of walking. Pulling the light, soft clothes over her skin, the girl rubbed hard at the fabric between her fingers. It was so fine and smooth, compared to the wreckage around her.

Pulling on her shoes, the younger child made sure she thought she looked okay, before looking up at her elder sibling. Without much warning, she leaned up against her older sister’s back, hugging her from behind. “Th...Thank you...Nee-chan...F-for b-being strong and for keeping me safe...”

A breeze ruffled their hair as Madoka wondered just how many victims that witch had claimed in the past, and what kind of people they were. Were they friendly? Were they close to their families? Did their families all cry when they heard the dreadful news that their loved one was gone?

Witches were terrible. They all needed to die. They stole people from those closest to them, and now everyone around that person would have a hole in their heart that would be next to impossible to kill.

Madoka looked up when Momo spoke again and smiled. She should try to be less sad. They were alive, after all! There was no sea of despair to drown in now!

“Okay!” Madoka said, “I’ll treat you, if you want, since you saved us both back there. Where do you want to go?”

Madoka was paying? Sweet deal. That said, Momo had kind of earned it after all that the day had thrown her, and definitely wasn’t going to turn the girl’s offer down. “-Oh, I know the best place. They’re great, believe. And coffee. Not that I really like coffee much but it does smell really good, doesn’t it?”

Not saying anymore, Momo grabbed Madoka’s wrist and began leading her off to the cafe she’d been talking about. It’d been one that she’d been wanting to go back to but had wanted to save up until she could go consistently. Upon entering, a host seated the pair, and the older girl seemed highly amused during their wait for an attendant. Smirking, she looked mischievously over to the rosette who would be paying for their meal, prompting a simple question. “Say, Madoka. Are you familiar with maid cafes?”

Hermes sighed, he knew there was no getting away from this without explaining himself. “Alright, this might be hard to swallow but, Witches aren’t only the supernatural beings among us. Demons, Angels, Vampires, Werewolves. They’re all real. They all walk among us. There is of course a Devil and a true God. But in between them are other gods, the Pagan ones. The ones that spend their time on earth. Gods like Zeus and Odin are among those types, and so am I and Jenna.” He looked at Jenna. “She’s is young and she may seem human, but she’s just as Godly as myself. Did you not see how she replicated your ability? Young gods absorb abilities, languages and anything they deem useful like a sponge. It helps them survive in this harsh world.”

“That’s why It’d be troublesome if she contracted. It’d throw the natural order out of whack. So I had to step in and make sure she didn’t. You can tell I’m not lying, can’t you Jenna? You can feel your power reacting to mine. It’s your very nature, you can’t deny it.”

Jenna looked at the ground with a miffed expression. “So let’s say I am a goddess or whatever you say. How come you never came to save me from that witch? How come you left me to survive on my own? Shouldn’t my own kind care about me?”

“If you ask me, you’ve been doing a pretty shitty job! Even before the witch, I nearly died a few times.”

Hermes merely shrugged in response. “It’s my job to stop the universe from exploding. But otherwise, gods aren’t a unified bunch. It’s everyone for themselves. Only a handful of us survive to adulthood. Survival of the fittest.” He turned to Momo. “I’m sure you understand, it’s the same creed that you magical girls have.”  He grimaced. “And to finally answer your question about the universe. The Incubators are using the energy that magical girls expel when they become witches. With you out of the picture, they make new ones who eventually become witches too. They’re kinda banking on you despairing and turning into witches, it’d be a pain if you overpopulated. Think of them harvesting you guys for energy.” He was so brutally honest it stung. “You think they really cared about you? Please, they don’t see you as anything more as a means to an end. They don’t care for humanity, for anyone. You’re just tools to them.”

“I mean it’s your choice whether to believe me. But that’s the truth. Jenna is a Goddess and you’re a magical girl. But maybe if you two team up and fight fate, you’ll be able to survive the hell that’s been provided for you. I’m intrigued, will Jenna overcome the trials of a young god? Will you be able to keep your soul gem from turning completely dark and transforming you into a witch? Either way, I’ll be watching. Don’t disappoint me.” With another whirl of wind he was gone leaving the two to mull over what he had just said.

[asoftersakura]

Even if she hadn’t felt like she was of any concern to the ones she’d called fairies since she was first contracted, Momo felt tangible hurt hearing Hermes’ words. Was she meant to be a piece of livestock? Part of a continuing process to sustain something more while a few sick bastards watched without remorse on the sides? Had her fate only been this the whole time, then? Was it just a life she’d been meant to let go of a long time ago?

“-Dammit!” Bringing a fist down angrily on their table, Momo pulled off her soul gem, examining it closely. It’s surface was clean, but now she knew; This was a watch which she had to keep wound. Once it unwound, her life would be over and she’d cease to exist- Be forgotten, like all the other animals within the Universe’s slaughter house.

Putting her ring back on, the girl gave a defeated sigh. Was there a point to this...? Would it be better to die now, instead of futilely cling to the life she led? She reflected once more on this new information, wanting to make sense of it. Momo wanted a reason to live.

An uncomfortable sensation pulsed against her stomach and the magical girl perked up, looking down. A small rumble sounded, and realization dawned on her. If she was a livestock, she was a part of the food chain- Everything died in the food chain, and it all cycled back. She’d become a part of what she’d consumed. And that...That was fair.

“...Thanks, Kazumi-senpai.”

Momo went back to eatting her sundae in silence, looking rather at ease. This was her life, which she had to live for those she consumed. Then it’d eventually happen to her, and others would live for her. She didn’t need a reason to live; She just had to keep living when she could. Looking back at Jenna, Momo gave her a hopeful, if solemn smile.

“-I don’t care if yer a Goddess, or a human or a damn cat. Frankly, I think it’d be a waste to get worked up about trivial things now." The human extended her hand to Jenna, her expression a mix of acceptance and an uneasy determination.   “If ya still wanna fight with me, then I’m glad ta have ya. I...I’m really scared, ta be honest but...I don’t intend ta live on like a helpless child. My values and my dreams mean more than my fears and ain’t no stuck up prick like Hermes or damn magic rat like Cube gonna make me hold back.”

Oh what could the chances be of that? I was the younger girl’s reaction with my mirth kept inside. She really has a kind heart inside. It’s both a strength and a weakness. 

The rumors I’ve heard ain’t pleasant ones. A magical girl in red, with scarlet hair in a ponytail and wieldin’ a spear. She ruthlessly hunts witches and breaks anyone who gets in her way. Not the nicest gal in the ball.

[asoftersakura]

It was her- It had to be. The portion of the rumor that her sister was acting with hostility towards others so easily was worrying, but the girl had faith.

“B-But that’s a rumor, right?” Momo nodded, more to herself than Kanna. “Even if it’s true...I’m sure she’s r-really lonely...That she’d carry her pain by herself a-and th-that’s no good...” The concern the little one had was obvious, and she made a small, if somewhat deflated smile. “If Onee-chan is doing b-bad things, then I-I’ll f-find her- I’ll find her and get her to stop hurting other girls. I’ll make sure she has someone who can help her, too.”
