Madoka is sitting on her bed. Even her room doesn't feel like a safe place anymore though as she's staring at the white creature on her bed that looks almost like a cat, yet not quite - something about the two sets of ears might throw anyone off the cat idea, at least. She has a pillow firmly clutched to her chest, almost as if to keep it as a barrier between her and the creature as she speaks up to it.
"You made contracts with everyone.. so that you could turn them all into witches?"
"Please don't get the wrong idea. It's not like we hold a grudge against you humans or anything. Everything is done in order to extend the universe's lifespan. Our civilization developed the technology to convert the emotions of intelligent life forms into energy. Unfortunately we don't have any of those so-called emotions. We examined various species throughout the universe, and found you humans. Your souls can generate enough energy to counteract entropy."
Even though it's hard for Madoka to follow, the girl still listens, though she's shrinking in on herself more with each word. She really doesn't like where this is going.
"Girls in their second growing period who transition between hope and despair are the most effective sources of energy. When your soul burns out, magical girls turn into a witch and your Soul Gem becomes a Grief Seed, releasing a tremendous amount of energy. The collection of that energy is the job of us Incubators."
When Madoka speaks up, it's like her voice is oddly choked. Like it's hard for her to even speak in the face of hearing something being said so incredibly callously by the creature. "Are we just.. disposable goods to you? Are you telling us to die for you..?" Her voice is soft, almost more a squeak.
"Eventually you humans will leave this planet and join us. In the long run, this should also benefit you," the creature explains, its tone so even. Completely devoid of any emotion.
"Stop.. Stop saying such stupid things!" Madoka's voice suddenly grows louder, obviously more desperate. There are tears in her eyes, but there's some anger in her voice. "Are you saying Mami-san and Sayaka-chan died for that ridiculous of a reason?! That's just.. just too cruel! You tricked us all..!"
The creature just slightly tilts its head sideways. "We have a hard time understanding the value standards of humans. Your population is currently 6,8 billion, and it is increasing by 100 every four seconds, so why do you get upset over whether a single one of you lives or dies?"
Madoka doesn't reply - only a choked sob manages to leave her as she buries her face into the pillow she's clutching.
The creature just turns at that, jumping up onto the windowsill behind the girl.
"I came here to explain everything to you, but I guess it's useless." The creature almost seems to sigh, but just as it's about to leave, it turns back around. ".. Madoka. You will one day become the most powerful magical girl, as well as the most evil witch. At that time, we will be able to obtain an amount of energy greate than we ever have before."
Madoka drops sideways onto the bed, still holding onto the pillow - but making sure to not look in the creature's direction as it speaks up again.
"So.. if you ever feel like dying for the sake of the universe, just let me know! I'll be waiting."
With that the creature jumps out of the window, leaving behind Madoka as she sobs into her bed.
