[ It wasn't difficult to suddenly notice that a presence was missing. Even if Yui was still there in their apartment, Homura was.. well, she wasn't anywhere nearby, and when Madoka tries to contact her through the journals there isn't any answer either. She doesn't get any definite answer until she finds the card, really. Homura wouldn't just leave that behind randomly, so.. that means..

She's gone. And-- well, someone has to tell everyone, and she considers asking Yui to do it but she doesn't want to shove a task like that on the other girl, so instead she opens her journal to speak up. Text feels too impersonal, and she can manage to keep her voice steady. It's better this way. Homura had something to do still back home, right? It's better for her to not be here, right? So.. ]

Um.. S-sorry to bother you, everyone, but for those of you who knew Homura-chan.. Homura Akemi, that is.. She was sent back home. I'm sure she's sorry that she couldn't say goodbye to everyone, but at least you all know now, right..? [ There's a giggle, but it's a little weak.

And it seems she meant to close her journal now, but instead it seems she forgets, since there's the sound of footsteps walking a little before there's faintly a song in the distance that Madoka is singing to herself, - the one from last time. It's a little weaker this time, and her voice shakes a bit too, but she still sings, as if it's an effort to cheer herself up, too. ]

Saying, 'see you later,' I wave my hand.. Forcing myself to smile, yet I'm feeling lonely...
