[ Homura takes a second to choke down a sob. But it doesn't work, and she ends up making a strangled little noise. She hesitates for a beat before pulling Madoka into a hug.

She doesn't say anything. She doesn't know what to say. It's irreversible. There's no magic here-- it's something she feels as clearly as the cold. And even if there was, she can't remember what to do to make time flow back. So they're both stuck here, in a reality where Madoka is a magical girl. ]
