Mami Lives Chapter 12
Mami Romance
“Madoka… you probably want to be sitting for this.”
That statement from Mami certainly perked up my ears, and made me eager to hear what she had to say!

Spoiler for The Blue Knight Falls:
Given Mami’s melancholic and guilt-ridden tone of voice, I prepared myself for the worst. But even then, I was shocked and dismayed by what I heard…
My phone conversation with Mami didn’t last long. Once I heard the horrid news, I raced off in a flash to meet up with Mami!
I explained to my mama that I needed to see Mami right away about something important.
“Is it anything we can help with, Madoka?” Papa asked, in his wonderfully calm and caring and soothing tone of voice that thankfully managed to ease my frenzied nerves a bit.
But this was not something I wanted to drag my mama and papa into.
“Don’t worry.” I replied to papa, “I can handle it. It’s… personal. I’ll be back as soon as possible, Ok?”
“Ok, Madoka, but please give us a call after you take care of whatever this is.” Mama interjected in a slightly concerned tone of voice.
I hated worrying my mama like this, but it was unfortunately the only choice I had at the moment.
After a few minutes of sprinting away from my home, I would meet up with Mami. Mami had a pensive look of shame on her face, as she stood uneasily against a light post, with her arms held behind her back. Her face was reddened and her eyes appeared to be sore. It was clear that she had been crying some.
“I’m sorry, Madoka.” she said, with a moist look to her eyes, “Please forgive me for what’s happened.”
“It’s Ok.” I replied warmly to Mami, as I gave her a quick hug to reassure her that I wouldn’t hold this against her.
“But given what you told me over the phone, I want to see Sayaka right away!” I exclaimed, betraying how desperate I felt at the moment.
“Right. Of course.” Mami replied, “Please follow me.”
Mami then lead me, while holding my hand, into a most wondrous room…
The feel of this room is strange. A pendulum swings overhead, enchantingly but also menacingly. Random and mostly unfamiliar images float about the room, but I think that they are somehow meant to represent the Puella Magi world. I think that most are of witches! Circular colourful seating arrangements are arrayed in a pattern throughout the room.
But what’s most noticeable is a makeshift bed right in the middle of the room, the two people gathered around it, and the barely conscious person lying on it. That person is Sayaka!

Spoiler for Kyouko Introduces Herself:
One of the two people gathered around Sayaka I recognize. That person is Homura. But the other person is a girl with long red hair tied up in a ponytail, and she is wearing jean shorts and a top.
“Man…” the redheaded girl says, while scratching the back of her head, “I still can’t think of how we should handle this!”
“It is a difficult situation.” Homura replied, “It will not be easy to explain this to Miki-san’s parents…”
“Ma-Madoka…” I hear Sayaka say weakly to me, as she managed to catch a glimpse of me standing next to Mami, and just behind Homura.
“Sayaka-chan!” I cry out, as I desperately push by Homura and the redheaded girl in order to fall to my knees next to Sayaka’s bedside and wrap my arms around her head and shoulders.
Homura and the redheaded girl then became quiet as I spoke with Sayaka.
“I… I guess I messed up pretty badly, huh?” Sayaka asked rhetorically, while she turned her head closer to mine.
“Don’t worry about that…” I replied, while shaking my head back and forth, “We’ll find a way to fix your leg. We will find a way to make you better again...”
And then I lifted my head and looked up to Homura for hope and reassurance.
“…Right?” I asked of Homura.
Homura and the redheaded girl both looked uncertain and uneasy over the question.
“Madoka…” Homura began softly and uneasily, looking at me with deep love and sympathy in her eyes, “I… We will do whatever we can for Sayaka. But it is… doubtful that Sayaka’s leg can be restored.”
“There is one quick and certain way to restore it.” came the sudden voice of Kyubuey, appearing out of the shadows.
Homura looked nothing short of enraged over Kyubuey’s words here.
“No.” she said forcefully to him, her typically cool and calm exterior barely containing the rage and dread that I could feel seeping out through her, “Madoka will not be making a contract with you!”
“Then Sayaka’s leg is likely lost for good.” Kyubey replied, “As potent as her regeneration abilities are, it cannot restore an entire lost limb.”
“Maybe I should…” I began, openly considering Kyubey’s implied suggestion.
“Please, Madoka, no…!” Homura exclaimed, as her face betrayed severe concern and worry on her part.
“This is one time when I agree with Akemi-san.” Mami stated, a bit coldly, but then with her tone gradually warming as she focused more on me, “We all feel terrible about how Sayaka lost a leg while battling a witch alongside me. I especially feel terrible and deeply sorry over that. But if you could not bring yourself to wish Hitomi Shizuki back from the grave, then…”
Mami didn’t have a cold enough heart to finish her sentence, given that Sayaka was here with us, but her meaning was clear. I have to admit that there was a cold, but compelling, logic to her words.
“Mami’s right.” the redheaded girl said to me, with a strange mix of cool detachment but also slight pity, “You and I haven’t met before, but Mami has told me some about you. You have a good and happy and prosperous family. Someone like you shouldn’t become a magical girl. I get that you want to help Sayaka, but the cost is just too great for someone like you.”
This redheaded girl made good points as well.
“…You’re probably right.” I replied with a deep tone of regret and sadness, given Sayaka’s current state, before I looked up at the redheaded girl, “What’s your name, by the way?”
“Sakura.” she replied, “Kyouko Sakura. Nice to meetcha. …Too bad it’s not under better circumstances.”
“These circumstances are little in comparison to what Walpurgis Night will bring.” Kyubey stated, “Circumstances that Madoka…”
“Shut up!” Homura exploded angrily at Kyubey, before briefly gritting her teeth and shaking violently, “Stop trying to drag…”
Spoiler for Apologetic Kyouko:
Both of the two people gathered around Sayaka I recognized. One is Homura. The other is Mami’s former friend and partner, Kyouko.
“Hi again.” she said with uneasy sympathy, as she immediately turned her attention to Mami and me as we entered this strange room, “Madoka, listen, we…”
I could feel Kyouko’s brashness fade away a bit right now. I could tell how badly she felt over the situation. But she trailed off, finding it hard to know what to say right now. She scratched the back of her head a bit, and sighed roughly.
That’s fine, because my focus right now is elsewhere.
“Ma-Madoka…” I hear Sayaka say weakly to me, as she managed to catch a glimpse of me standing next to Mami, and just behind Homura.
“Sayaka-chan!” I cry out, as I desperately push by Homura and Kyouko in order to fall to my knees next to Sayaka’s bedside and wrap my arms around her head and shoulders.
“I… I guess I messed up pretty badly, huh?” Sayaka asked rhetorically, while she turned her head closer to mine.
“Don’t worry about that…” I replied, while shaking my head back and forth, “We’ll find a way to fix your leg. We will find a way to make you better again...”
And then I lifted my head and looked up to Homura and Kyouko for reassurance.
“…Right?” I asked, as my eyes shifted back and forth between Homura and Kyouko.
Homura stared off slightly, unsure of what to say. Kyouko then spoke up.
“Look, we all feel terrible about what’s happened to Sayaka.” Kyouko said, “But we have to face facts here. Sayaka’s leg… was sliced off by some damn familiar. I don’t think even Sayaka can regenerate from that.”
“She can’t.” came the sudden voice of Kyubey, appearing out of the shadows, “As potent as Sayaka’s regeneration abilities are, it cannot restore an entire lost limb. But one of us here could restore it quickly and without question. And that person is you, Madoka.”
Homura looked nothing short of enraged over Kyubey’s words here.
“No.” she said forcefully to him, her typically cool and calm exterior barely containing the rage and dread that I could feel seeping out through her, “Madoka will not be making a contract with you!”
“Then Sayaka’s leg is likely lost for good.” Kyubey replied, “Is that something Madoka is willing to accept?”
“Maybe I should…” I began, openly considering Kyubey’s implied suggestion.
“This furball over here can be a bit annoying sometimes…” Kyouko sneered, as she sternly walked towards Kyubey, and lifted him up by his left ears.
“Don’t you try to con her into being a magical girl, you hear me!” she shouted at Kyubey, “You’re not doing to her what you did to me!”
“You confuse me. How did I ‘con’ you?” Kyubey asked, “Your wish was granted perfectly. So would any wish made by Madoka.”
“Kyubey…” interjected Mami, sounding cross with him, “You shouldn’t act so callous. You as well as I know what the ultimate outcome of Kyouko’s wish was.”
“And I’m not going to let someone like Madoka suffer a similar fate.” Kyouko said, in a strangely sombre and mournful tone for her, “So leave her out of it!”
Kyouko then laid Kyubey back down, while I think Homura breathed a sigh of relief. A part of me was filled with curiosity over what wish Kyouko might have made in becoming a Puella Magi, and also over the specifics of her wish sadly going poorly for her. But out of respect for Kyouko’s privacy, I didn’t question her on it. But Kyubey had his own question for Kyouko.
“If I ‘leave Madoka out of it’, will Mitakihara Town be able to withstand Walpurgis Night?” asked Kyubey.
Homura’s eyes appeared to flare up in anger, while Mami’s eyes look increasingly concerned, at the very mention of this ‘Walpurgis Night’.
“Walpurgis Night…” I said briefly to myself, “What is that, Kyubey?”
“Madoka, it’s better if you don’t…” Homura began.
“No, she deserves to learn fully about it.” Mami interjected, “Especially now.”
Kyubey then explained to me what this “Walpurgis Night” is. What he explained… was so completely horrifying to me! It was just like that one witch I had a dream about that threatened to destroy all of Mitakihara Town.
“S-Somebody has to stop that!” I exclaimed, over hearing about the threat that Walpurgis Night posed.
“We will.” Homura stated firmly, “The three of us Puella Magi still standing will defeat Walpurgis Night.”
And that brought my focus back to the Puella Magi that was no longer standing, and that might never stand again…
Homura, Kyouko, Mami, and Sayaka herself all eventually came to an agreement on how to explain Sayaka’s severe injury without revealing the fact that Sayaka is a Puella Magi.
Mitakihara Town is a picturesque utopia in many ways, but it also has large industrial areas and powerful factories. Some of these factories hold sharp and potentially dangerous machinery. Homura and Mami will set it up to appear as though Sayaka lost her leg while trying to rescue a wounded kitten from such machinery. Going by Homura’s fictional account, Sayaka lost her leg and went unconscious shortly thereafter.
A “strange redheaded girl” found the horribly injured Sayaka, but since she didn’t know who Sayaka is, she just applied immediate first aid to her and tried to rush her to a safe location. This redheaded girl then tried to walk Sayaka back home the following morning, until they both ran into Mami. Mami, recognizing Sayaka, would bring Sayaka the rest of the way to her home, and that’s when they would tell Kotetsu Miki about what happened to his daughter.
That was ‘the story’ that everybody settled on, to be told tomorrow. Sayaka would rest and heal in this strange room overnight, with Kyouko watching over her. Tomorrow, Kyouko, Mami, and Sayaka would all enact their roles to make the story better fit the facts.
Knowing that I don’t like to lie, Homura and Mami told me that I didn’t need to confirm their account, but just refrain from contradicting it. I would have to act shocked over hearing about Sayaka’s injury the following morning, and pretend to know nothing about it beforehand.
Just before leaving to go back home late this Tuesday night, I called my parents and told them that everything was Okay. When papa asked me about what emergency it was that caused me to leave home in such a panic, I went blank on how to answer that. I started to stutter in trying to think of something to say that would be convincing, not too revealing, but also not a complete lie! Thankfully, Mami interjected here on my behalf, grabbing my cellphone from my hand to talk to my papa.
“My deepest apologies for causing you concern, Mr. Kaname.” Mami said with such pristinely perfect politeness, “I’m a bit embarrassed to say that I lost a precious family heirloom, and so I called Madoka to try to help me find it. That was admittedly a bit selfish of me, but I really did need the help in searching for it.”
Mami then told my parents that I was a big help to her in finding the family heirloom. Thankfully, my parents bought the story.
The following Wednesday morning came, and I went to school while Kyouko, Mami, and Sayaka all played their various roles. In accordance with the plan, I acted very shocked and dismayed when I heard of Sayaka’s severe injury. I then visited her right away, while Sayaka explained to me what happened to her leg.
Kotetsu Miki was pacing about, clearly distraught over what to do. Nanami Miki kept asking Sayaka if she was Ok, and showed her a lot of care while Sayaka rested in bed. Kotetsu and Nanami debated over whether or not to bring Sayaka to the hospital. Before they came to a conclusion, I left Sayaka’s home for the day.
After leaving Sayaka’s place on Wednesday evening, I decided to pay Mami a late evening visit. Mami invited me into her home, and she served the two of us some tea. We sat snuggly next to each other in front of her transparent triangular table.
“Well, it looks like your plan worked out well, Mami.” I said to her, trying to lighten the mood, given how sad and depressed Mami and I both felt.
“Yes, and I’m glad it did.” Mami replied, “But that plan only serves as a cover-up. It will not give Sayaka her leg back…”
I heard Mami sniffle a bit, and a lone tear seep out of one of her eyes. It was clear that Mami felt very badly over what had happened to Sayaka. I think that Mami was blaming herself for it.
“It’s Ok, Mami…” I said, as softly and sweetly as I could, as I wrapped my arms around her side and rested my head on her shoulder, “Sayaka told me about how incredible you were in defeating that ghastly Golden Witch in order to save her! Sayaka lost a leg, but thanks to you, she’s still alive!”
“If not for me, she would still have both of her legs.” Mami replied, “I… I never should have dragged you and Sayaka into the world of magical girls and witches. That was very irresponsible of me.”
Mami’s words here caused my heart to hurt. I then explained precisely why that was to Mami.
“No, that’s wrong.” I responded forcefully, “That’s completely wrong!”
Mami looked a bit taken aback by my outburst.
“B-but Madoka, how…” Mami began in atypically unsure reply.
“If you hadn’t brought Sayaka and me into your world, you would have still been all alone, without friends and loved ones.” I interjected, “I wouldn’t want that for you, Mami!”
“That’s very kind of you to say, Madoka.” Mami began in reply, “But I would not selfishly put my happiness ahead of Sayaka’s basic well-being. So…”
“Then consider what you’ve done for me.” I interjected, “Thanks to you… I have the most wonderful girlfriend I could ever ask for. The thought of not having you in my life… it breaks my heart. Physical injuries are very bad, but the thought of your heart being lonely, and mine being broken, is just as bad, if not worst. I will always be glad for having met you, and I hope we’ll always be together.”
Mami started crying over my words to her, and I could feel my eyes water as well. Mami and I then warmly embraced each other. Mami thanked me profusely for being such a perfect friend and girlfriend in her eyes. We then shared a soft, long, and tender kiss.
Shortly afterwards, I left to go home.
Spoiler for The White Maestro Rises:
Given Mami’s energetic and bubbly tone of voice, barely hiding her great excitement, I prepared myself for a huge but pleasant surprise! But even then, I was shocked and awed by what I heard…
Kyousuke Kamijou had become a Puella Magi! Well, no, he’s not a girl, so the very term “Puella Magi” might have to change. For now, I guess “magical human” would fit Kamijou best. And from what Mami told me, Kamijou had been very magical to Sayaka in particular.
I felt so good and happy for Sayaka that her once unimaginable dreams were now coming true!
If you never encountered M Opportunity Choice 3, read Section Mami’s Dreams Near Fruition Too. Otherwise, skip over it.
Mami told me that all of the Puella Magi in the area would be holding a special meeting after school to discuss how best to fit Kyousuke Kamijou into the wider Puella Magi world. But Mami said that with Kyousuke Kamijou now fully a part of that world as a magic-wielder himself, that she will likely be able to take a complete break from being a Puella Magi very soon.
“At last, Madoka, there will be more time for just the two of us.” Mami said, “Finally I will regain the normal life that I have longed for!”
“I hope that I will be an important part of that life for you.” I replied.
“Of course you will be.” Mami reassured me, “In fact, you will be the most important part of it, my love.”
Just as Sayaka Miki had become the most important part of Kyousuke Kamijou’s life….
It was Wednesday afternoon, and now the five magical teenagers of Mitakihara Town have gathered into an equally magical room.
The feel of this room is normally strange, but right now it is a very fitting setting for its colourful and unusually upbeat occupants. A pendulum swings overhead, which strikes me as symbolizing how the pendulum has swung decisively in our favor. Esoteric images float about the room, all of them going back to one aspect or another of the Puella Magi world. Most are of witches, I believe. Circular colourful seating arrangements are arrayed in a pattern throughout the room, and the five of us sit on them in a circular formation of our own.
“Interesting.” stated an amused Kyousuke Kamijou, “Here I sit; a teenaged male holding magical superpowers. With me are four equally powerful teenaged girls, remarkably diverse in their appearances, even their hair colour. But for all of that diversity, each is very attractive in her own way. Is it just me, or have I become a harem lead in an anime show?”
“Ky-Kyousuke!” protested Sayaka shyly at this smooth, yet questionable, observation on Kyousuke’s part.
I have to admit that I myself am amused and flattered by his observation. I blush slightly as I sip tea.
“Don’t worry.” said Kyousuke, with such impeccable boyish charm as he turned his face towards Sayaka’s, her sitting next to him, “In every harem anime, the first girl always wins. So your victory in this harem is assured.”
Kyousuke playfully winked at Sayaka during that last line, which made Sayaka blush a deep red, particularly since Kyousuke also lovingly placed one hand over hers as he said it.
“I wouldn’t be so sure about that.” Kyouko interjected, after initially looking a bit nauseated by Kyousuke’s romanticism, but now smiling widely as pocky hanged out of her mouth, “Doesn’t the confident, fiery redheaded tsundere tend to win in those types of shows?”
“Wh-what is that supposed to mean, Kyouko?!” Sayaka protested, while Kyousuke chuckled nervously.
Kyouko exploded in laughter herself.
“You’re so easy to troll, Sayaka!” Kyouko exclaimed with a toothy grin, “But don’t worry. I’m a lone wolf! I have no intention of getting tied down to any man.”
“Given what I wished for, it’s more like that I’m tied to Sayaka.” Kyousuke said.
“What do you mean?” asked Akemi-san, as this last line intrigued her.
“Well, if you want to know, then I’ll gladly…” Kyousuke shared, before being interrupted.
“Kyousuke, please, it’s a bit embarrassing...” Sayaka interrupted, while scratching the back of her head, chuckling a bit, and continuing to blush.
“It’s nothing for you to be embarrassed about.” Kyousuke replied, “You should be proud of it, Sayaka.”
“Why should Sayaka be proud of your wish?” asked Akemi-san, becoming increasingly curious here.
“Because she inspired it.” Kyousuke stated, “Let me explain.”
“Sayaka, and her invaluable Dai-Sensei Mami Tomoe, have made an incredible difference in my life.” Kyousuke began in explanation, as his tone became increasingly serious, “Thanks to Mami, Sayaka learned of the reality of magical girls and witches. Upon learning of that reality, she choose to be a hero fighting dangerous battles to protect people from witches and familiars. But she was a hero in two ways here, since she made a selfless wish to heal my hand… to give me my life as a musician back to me!”
Kyousuke’s voice started to crack slightly, and his eyes became slightly watered, as he became increasingly emotional here.
“I thought I had lost everything…” he continued, “My deepest dream, my highest hope. And instead of wishing for a dream of her own, and instead of wishing for wealth, power, or prestige; Sayaka wished to save me. To give my dreams back to me. But even with that wish accomplished, Mami and her fought on as heroes, protecting innocent people in the most thankless role imaginable. They have given so much, asking nothing in return. It was more moving than the most beautiful violin recital I have ever heard.”
“So here was I…” he continued on, after a brief pause, during which Sayaka and I also became a bit more emotional and misty-eyed over his passionate heartfelt words, “I was given a miracle, and while nothing was asked of me in return. No, I could not have that. I hated the thought of being so selfish as to take that priceless gift, while not showing lasting thanks and gratitude to the person who had given it to me. Most importantly, it occurred to me that I could never live with myself if Sayaka ever died fighting a witch. If her making a wish for my sake would end up costing her even more than it gained me… No, that is absolutely unacceptable. The world is often not fair, but that level of unfairness offended me deeply, even at just a conceptual level. So I made the only wish that I could, the only wish that would let me sleep soundly at night.”
Again, he paused, to maintain his composure. Sayaka now had tears in her eyes, while I felt increasingly stirred. I think that even the jaded Homura and Kyouko were becoming moved by Kyousuke’s story.
“I turned to Kyubey, and asked him if he could make a contract with me, so that I could make a wish.” Kyousuke stated, “He answered in riddles at first, but after I pressured him on it repeatedly, he admitted that it is not unprecedented for a male to become a Puella Magi… or rather, a magical human. And then I made the wish that I had to make. I wished that whenever Sayaka is in danger, I will be there.”
As Kyousuke said those words, Sayaka wrapped one arm around his, and she started crying tears of joy while leaning against his shoulder. I was also moved to tears. Even Kyouko wiped her eyes. But most surprising was Homura’s response.
Homura sobbed after hearing Kyousuke’s story.
“I know exactly what you mean.” she said to him at last.
After we all composed ourselves, Homura spoke again.
“We will defeat Walpurgis Night.” she said firmly, and confidently.
“Of course we will.” Kyousuke stated, now once more the grinning, smooth romantic, “You have the harem male lead on your side, after all. Failure is completely inconceivable.”
All of us, even Sayaka, couldn’t help but chuckle over his words.
Even given Kyousuke’s confidence, Homura felt it was wise to develop a clear plan of attack, incorporating Kyousuke’s unique music-based powers into what she had been planning before. She asked us to all meet back here briefly tomorrow. We agreed to it.
Kyousuke and Sayaka were the first to leave, holding hands and chit-chatting amongst themselves as they did so. I then was about to make my leave when I overheard Kyouko say something very interesting.
“It must be nice to have somebody to protect...” she said in a regretful tone, “Especially if it’s somebody you love.”
“It is nice.” I whispered while leaning into her, “And you can have it yourself, if you want, Kyouko.”
Kyouko looked unusually weak and uncertain. The tough girl looked oddly vulnerable right now. She sighed slightly.
“I will think about it, Mami.” Kyouko said, after taking a piece of pocky out of her mouth, “Anyway… See ya around!”
Kyouko then left in a hurry. Now it was time for me to leave. I had a date with Madoka!
If you chose A for M Opportunity Choice 3, read Section Mesmerizing Mami Mammaries.
Otherwise, read Section Time for Practice!
Spoiler for Mesmerizing Mami Mammaries:
When I arrived at Mami’s, I was pleased to see her in very high spirits. But I could also tell that she was a bit more… frenzied than usual. It’s like she had this strange itch…
“Sayaka and Kyousuke have such a beautiful and intense relationship now.” Mami stated, “I have to admit, it leaves me feeling a bit jealous…”
“You shouldn’t feel jealous.” I replied, “You and I have a beautiful relationship to, don’t we?”
“Yes, of course we do.” Mami responded warmly, “But… we haven’t been able to act on it much since this past weekend. That leaves me wanting more now, Madoka…”
Mami then seduced me, with such mesmerizing skill, and finesse. It was clear that she was feeling some sexual frustration at the moment, and that frustration would soon be given release…
The two of us made love this Wednesday evening. Mami was nothing short of mind-blowing this evening. I only hoped that I was the same way for her…
Spoiler for Time For Practice!:
Mami felt confident that Sayaka and Kyousuke could handle any witches or familiars plaguing her territory, so that freed Mami up to spend an evening with me!
I went over to Mami’s place, and we spent a lot of time dancing again after Mami pushed some furniture around to make room for our practice.
We practiced dancing to numerous ClariS songs, including one named Irony!
“That’s the own they used for the anime about the mean imouto, right?” I asked.
“The mean imouto?” Mami asked in playful response.
“Well, she’s always beating up and insulting her own brother!” I exclaimed, “It’s simply terrible! I could never treat Tatsuya like that…”
“I’m relieved to hear that you’re not taking tips on how to be a sister from that show.” Mami stated playfully, while winking knowingly at me.
We both laughed loudly over that!
Mami and I had a wonderful time dancing and dancing and dancing some more! By the time we were done, I was out of breath. I collapsed to the floor, leaning on my outstretched arms and breathing heavily. Mami was sweating a bit, and slightly winded, but looked to be in remarkable condition given all the dancing we just did!
“Mami, you’re amazing!” I stated.
“I appreciate the compliment, but I have a long way to go…” Mami replied, “The new ClariS competition comes to Mitakihara Town in just three weeks! I have to practice as much as I can until then.”
“Right!” I replied, “And I’ll help you through it all, Mami.”
I left Mami’s home, after a very enjoyable but exhausting time with her. My life was starting to feel like a magnificent dream! I just hope this dream never ends…
I finally arrived home this Wednesday evening. So many intense images and thoughts danced about my head. Many troubling events had come and gone, but my romance with Mami was going well.
One major troubling event remained. One last hurdle had to be cleared.
That was Walpurgis Night. I hope Mami and everyone else can clear it…
To Be Continued…
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally finished this update. I hope everybody likes it. ^_^
A few short notes...
The two brief Mami/Madoka "date" sections at the end of "The White Maestro Rises" each have a clickable link at the beginning of it. As always, that will play music from YouTube that I think is fitting for the section that follows the link.
However, an added special note here. I recently discovered a Jazz remix of Mami's Theme. I personally think it's perfect for the more... intimate Mami scenes, shall we say. So consider that standard music for all such scenes (please take note of this, Kimidori  ).
I know some of the branchings are becoming confusing, so here's an easy guide:
If you chose A for Choice M3, it means you discouraged Sayaka from telling Kamijo about the world of magical girls and witches. That means the White Maestro never rose. Which means Sayaka took a nasty injury.
Choosing B for that choice is the opposite, of course. Sayaka did tell him about it, and so a passionate romance and a new Magical Human resulted from it.
If you chose A for M Opportunity Choice 3, it means that you're currently two-timing Mami.  You're in a relationship with both Mami and Homura. Otherwise, you're in a relationship with Mami alone.
If you Chose A for Choice M4, it means that you stood firm by Mami during the Mami/Homura beach confrontation. You met Kyouko and played DDR with her and Mami. Otherwise, Madoka only meets Kyouko now, in this update.
That's everything I think. I look forward to reviews of it.
