Homura visits Madoka once again to repeat her warning and refuses to answer when Madoka asks what her wish was. The next day Kyubey (who cannot be seen by normal people) accompanies Madoka and Sayaka to school where they learn to communicate with each other telepathically. Mami offers to take Madoka and Sayaka with her on a witch hunt to determine whether there is a wish they would risk their lives for. Mami and Kyubey explain to Madoka and Sayaka that Kyubey has the power to grant wishes, but in exchange those who make wishes must become magical girls to fight witches who are born from curses. Transcription: " Sore wa Tottemo Ureshii Natte" ( Japanese: それはとっても嬉しいなって) Kyubey is healed by Mami's powers and explains that he wishes to form a contract with Madoka and Sayaka to make them magical girls. Homura appears again and is confronted by Mami, who tells her that she will overlook the attack on Kyubey as she does not want to fight in front of the other girls. They are rescued by another magical girl named Mami Tomoe, who repels the attackers with her magic abilities. As Homura demands Madoka stay away from Kyubey, Sayaka arrives and escapes with Madoka only for them to be caught in a magical barrier and approached by strange monsters. She encounters a strange cat-like creature called Kyubey being attacked by Homura, who is revealed to be a magical girl. After school when Madoka goes shopping with her friend Sayaka Miki, she hears a strange voice leading her to an abandoned section of the mall. Homura, who seems to already know her, warns Madoka to stay the way she is or risk losing everything. Middle-school student Madoka Kaname is surprised to find the girl from her dream, Homura Akemi, enroll in her school the following day. Transcription: " Yume no Naka de Atta, Yō na."
