on probably shoving her at heroesparadise

[pergopugnare]

I continue to fight for her sake, not for the sake of violence itself.

But if I must win to return to my duty, then I won't let anyone stand in my way.

[Homura looks startled for a brief moment: and then—is she smiling, what. Actually, is she... tearing up a little?]

Yes—yes, you're right, actually. She'll make a splendid magical girl, she really will.

[credens]

[ Well that sure was completely unexpected. Mami spends a few long moments being quietly taken aback. This certainly doesn't seem like the behavior of the Akemi Homura she knows, or thought she knew.

She takes a small step backwards, studying the girl standing in front of her, reconsidering her. ]

...Akemi-san...why did you never say that you thought so before? I really thought...

Things change, Tomoe-san. Have changed.

I didn't want her to become a magical girl, no—but when she does, she'll—she'll do what none of us could.

[ all of Mami's confusion ]

No, you can't stop her from making her own choices. But...I'm...glad, to know that you don't mind any more. It's important that we believe in one another, after all. [ a genuine smile this time ]

You know, Akemi-san... you could come with us, some time. If you've truly changed. There's still enough room in Mitakihara for all of us.

ALL THE SADS

Ah, Tomoe-san...

The "me" that you know—she—I don't know this yet. She's fighting her own battle that only she can fight. Be patient with her, please. Madoka will make her decision when she's ready.
