Madoka obediently closes her eyes. And waits, unsure of what to expect. Maybe it's kind of like a birthday surprise, and she'll open her eyes and suddenly there will be a weapon? That seems like the most logical sequence of events to her..

.. but of course it's not that easy. When she opens her eyes, it's like she isn't even in the train anymore. At first the girl looks around in stunned surprise, but then it quickly starts to take on an edge of panic even before she spots the.. cat. Being. Thing. Whatever it is.

It just looks way too much like a witch's dimension. And they didn't have witches on the train, right? But what if they had just gotten lucky until now and it was possible after all? How is she supposed to deal with a witch all by herself, without powers?!

The panic makes her not even register the being as Maru - or a really twisted version of him, anyway - at first. Worried that it's a familiar or even a witch, the girl lets out a shriek and then takes a step back. The second step back fails, and she trips right over her own feet, landing straight onto her butt on the floor.

"W.. W-What..?"
