I EXIST.

          a different type of fear coursed through her body, filling in all the cracks that could be found. the look of a disheveled body was more than enough to paralyze anyone . let alone the smallest, most innocent girl there is.

grotesque and ridden with the stench of death, the body lays. her eyes were fixated with a sense of horror on the sight. rotten, disgusting. GENTLE rose optics flickered up to the ROBOTIC being before her. she stumbles backwards——-feeling her heart increase in speed

at the mention of her name, she pauses—————panic soon overthrowing her fear. she swallows—hard. the lump in her throat still not disappearing 

      `        H—–Homura-Chan—–are they okay ?!      `

the want to rush forward, to help the unfortunate soul, almost too much to bare. yet the thought of what Homura could do to her was enough for Madoka to keep her distance.

      `        W.  .  . What do you mean——Salvation— !? I-I’m fine  !!          `

Fear and panic , the insistence of knowing if the lifeless body behind her was ‘ alright ’ -- nothing would create a reaction within Homura. It was even hard to tell if she was conscious of the terror rocking through Madoka’s soul , or if she cared for it alone. Such things were pointless to her. All that mattered was what she decided; the future of this bird that she had found. Plans laid ahead of her , ready to be set into sequence without a stop in sight.

Most of all , her safety. She had to save her , no matter the methods , no matter the lives of others. Not of strangers , not of her friends , not of her own family even. The younger girl would learn of the dangers of the world; one day , she W I L L admit the machine was right , and bask in the salvation bestowed upon her.

Unlike the demon , this being did not care to create a makeshift utopia to hide the horrors that laid below.

                                             ( but was ‘ saving ’ the bird all this is ? )

“ Somebody is holding you here. ” She tilts her head , stare relentless , without moving a inch of her body. ( How nice of her , to provide a manipulated explanation. ) 

“ They trapped you within this false paradise without knowing such a concept isn’t capable of existing. Furthermore , they even left you all alone here , without a care for your well being. I could not tolerate it. ”

Finally , she takes a step. Dim light reveals further blood on the sleeves of her arms and going down  -- all particularly lining the shape of a gem in the back of one of the hands. There’s a sinister , blood red glow coming from it , appearing to grow stronger.
