HOLY SHIT STOP COMPARING EVERYTHING TO MADOKA MAGICA

the futile frustration of this post reminds me a lot of homura’s struggle to save madoka

During my childhood, there is a famous local comic book series about a girl with magical powers who goes on adventures with her friends. In one of the books, they meet a rat capable of speech, claiming to have his soul cursed into this animal, and that he was really a prince whose human body was locked up elsewhere by evildoers. They find his empty vessel in a glided coffin, head down and unresponsive. When he returns to his body, his face is still never shown, and his personality was completely different from how he was when he was a tiny rat. He went from a verbal and good-humoured voice to a mysterious and quiet individual who saved them and then disappeared. In this vein, I often think that Sayaka and ‘Sayaka’s corpse’ is a similar concept.
