   Summary

   Mabayu's ending was meant to be rather concise: erase Homura's memory, erase her own memories, and cut. Let the story unfold without her and go on to its intended conclusion.

   Shame she hesitated.

   But, if she really does let herself be erased and let Madoka ascend, is that really the best ending? Would that leave Homura happy?

   Not like she can really change the ending, it's fate, but isn't it worth trying to help a little more?
