Oh.
Well... I was the protector of Tallis. And I was her- um. I was her companion and her friend and her most trusted confidante. But above all else... I kept her safe. That's what I was made for, and that was all that I did for twenty three years.
I think you know what... happened to her in the end. She was gotten rid of, and I was left all on my own. My purpose in life was dead, and I- I had nowhere to go. I wasn't needed anymore.
...I didn't know if I was supposed to find someone else to protect, or if I had to find someone else to shadow. Or something else. I was directionless. I didn't have anywhere to go.
Upstairs Hallway
Homura: ...that requires more explanation.
Sayaka: Yeah, um...you know how if you coal under, like, a million tons of pressure it'll become a diamond?
Backyard
not!Homura: (is paying attention to each word Julie says, nodding occasionally)
Roof
Homucifer: The savior of Magical Girls from an existence of despair.
The damned queen and the relentless knight.Roof
Homucifer: Effectively. Except in this universe.
Upstairs Hallway -> Roof Access
Sayaka: Yeah, that's...basically what the Incubators ended up doing to Homura's Soul Gem. Except it obviously didn't produce a diamond.
(They approach the roof access.)
Backyard
not!Homura: ...have you resolved it?
The damned queen and the relentless knight.Backyard
not!Homura: ...you can relegate your past feelings to simply the past, then?
Roof
Homucifer: (also looks over)
Roof Access
Homura: (looks up and out the door, is able to curl her face into determination once more with some effort)
Sayaka: No...(turns her head out the door to see Homucifer across the way)...seems Magical Girls turn into that instead.
(From Kyoko's viewpoint, she'd see what looks like a regularly-aged Homura wearing that skanky-black outfit and with scars on her shoulder blades where her wings once were. She's got wooden stocks on her wrists that glow ever-so-slightly and seems far more malevolent in her demeanor than she'd ever seen Homura before.)

Woods
(squints at the statue.) No c-clue, to be h-honest. Last statue I, um, h-had mysteriously vanished. Still, let's k-keep an eye on it in case it d-does something real fishy.
