[This morning a set of writing will appear. The writer, one Homura Akemi, is obscuring the camera angle so she won't be noticed. Not because she wants to hide her identity, but rather the makeshift bandages around her body. She's still slowly recovering using the Soul Gem's properties, but it isn't a fast paced healing in the slightest.]

Does anyone know where that attacker from two weeks ago is? It was stated by someone over the feed that she was neutralized, but death only lasts a week here. If so, she must have come back to the village somehow under the radar. We can't let another attack like that occur, not under any circumstances.

[Action;]

[Today will be the first day Homura allows herself to leave the house during the daytime hours. She hasn't been in communication with anyone in the village since she was brutually attacked by Mu, and only went out at night to retrieve either more medical supplies or food. If Madoka and the others found out she had been injured, they would surely......

...Well maybe Madoka would worry more than Mami and Kyouko. But, regardless, she didn't want to trouble anyone.

So she goes out from CH7 on a walk. To cover up the bandages around her upper body she's wearing long sleeve clothes, which look painfully inappropriate for the summer weather and can be seen taken a noticable tone on her. Her body has also considerably slown down, having to use most of the magic that keeps her running on healing the wounds. Every several minutes of walking is accompanied by her sitting down to rest and breathe, too weak to move. She can hardly even recall the last time she was so badly injured to this extent. In short, even while covering of her wounds, it's obvious she is not up to par at all.]

[ :( ]

Oh.. Do you think Mami-san won't be able to understand, even now..?

That is up to her to decide. I cannot control her opinions, Madoka.

I know, but..

[ For a moment she's silent, looking away. ]

... Hmm, I understand, Homura-chan. I'm sorry.

[She pauses for a moment and then shakes her head. Maybe she was being a bit too harsh to her friend.]

Don't be. ...I wish we could settle our differences, but it may not happen for a while.

Maybe.. sometime in the future, then? I mean.. we don't know for how long we might be stuck here, so maybe eventually Mami-san and Kyouko-chan could start to like you too!

I won't deny that possibility. If we could get along to some degree...I would be glad with that alone. [It isn't fair for Madoka to have to be put in the middle of what is considered to be childish bickering really.] I'm sorry you have to be involved in this, Madoka.

[ She almost looks a little surprised at that apology, but then quickly shakes her head. ]

I-it's not that bad at all, Homura-chan! I mean.. it's a little sad to see all of you not getting along, but I'm sure you guys can't help it either..

Yes, but the three of us could still make effort to strive for some kind of neutrality at least. I admit I have not been doing my part in it either.

It's not your fault.. O-or anyone's..! It shouldn't be fair for someone to have to take the first step while the other two would still be mean, so.. I'll just try talking to Mami-san and Kyouko-chan more about it.

Madoka...

[She wanted to say something bad to that. Madoka shouldn't need to work and worry for them, when she was the one who got along with everyone.]

...We should get going. We're almost there.

... Oh, that's right! Sorry, I got a little lost in the topic there, ehehe..

Are you still feeling okay, Homura-chan?

I'm fine, Madoka. Just some rest and everything will be alright. [At least, that's the hope in mind. Climbing up those stairs to get back the apartment will be a pain though.]

Hmm.. If you still feel a little bad because of the bad weather later and there's a way I can help, please feel free to ask me for help!

Mami-san might get a little mad if you'd come to us, but if I'd go to you I'm sure there wouldn't be a problem..

Your kindness is appreciated, but I think I will relax on my own for the time being.

That's fine too.. [ A small nod. ] Whatever is best for you, Homura-chan.

...Thank you, Madoka.

[And they finally arrive to CH 7.]

You and I don't live on the same floor. Once we get to your floor I'll make the rest of the way on my own.

It's only a little further up from my floor, right..? So.. I'm sure it should be okay.

Five floors. There isn't any need for you to walk up that much.

B-but still.. if it would make you happy that someone would walk with you all the way up, Homura-chan, I wouldn't mind it at all!

[She swallows down something dry in her throat, holding back protest that would sound too overdone. Homura shakes her head.]

Thank you very much for the offer, but I can make it on my own.

[ She pauses, for a moment, maybe looking slightly troubled-- but it's gone again as soon as it passes her face. ]

That's alright too. Whatever you want! Then we'll say goodbye for now when we get to my floor.

For now at least. [She'll begin walking up the stairs and, it's going to be very obvious that her pace is slower than usual. Painfully so.]

[ It's difficult to not notice it-- and so Madoka stops a little bit up on the stairs, her expression slowly changing to one of worry. ]

Homura-chan.. Are you.. um.. really sure you're okay? [ It might be a bit rude, to ask, but-- ] We're friends, right? You can tell me if something is wrong..

[She grits her teeth, but her expression remains as cold as ever. Friends...]

I'm alright. Please don't worry.

But.. you don't usually climb the stairs that slowly, right? Nobody would! And--

[ She halts her own rambling, looking a bit upset. ]

... I'm sorry.. I-I don't want to be rude..
