I'm looking for a girl named Madoka. she's my age, with pigtails and wearing a Mitakihara Middle School uniform. I don't know what this place's deal is, or why there are witches and familiars here too if what happened to me was fake- but it's obviously not safe, so she shouldn't be here.

And if you meet a girl named Akemi Homura, don't trust her.

Me, or the situation?

Maybe both.

I'd be lying if I said the same hadn't occurred to me from time to time.

However, is that really any stranger than belief in witches?

I'm not asking anybody to believe me! You just asked and I told you.

I didn't say I didn't believe in witches. Just that my own set of insane experiences should be considered equally plausible.

Fine, but it still doesn't make any sense! I mean, if I'm supposed to be fake, why are there witches here? Are witches and contracts and everything else real, but just me is the fake one? Is that what they're trying to tell me??

There's no need to take things so far. I think it's much more likely that none of us are fake, but we've all become sliders.

We've become.. tiny cheeseburgers?

Dimensional sliders. Travelling between alternate realities.

It's something I had a reason to suspect would happen, back home.

...only I never would have suspected going this long without seeing a familiar face....

No.. I don't know how to do that.

Neither do I. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean there aren't extraordinary people and events that can drag you kicking and screaming into such things.

Kicking and screaming is one thing. It's a lot worse to go into these things willingly and then realize it was a dumb mistake.

Wait. no, that's not what I meant forget it.

No, I think that's something I can understand. But you're right both about it being worse and about not meaning it.

Ah -- possibly this is too late to say politely but -- I never caught your name?

Sayaka. Miki Sayaka.

Kyon. Or, at any rate, that's what everyone inevitably winds up calling me.

'Kyon'? That sounds like a manga character's name or something.

My little sister began calling me that, and it seems like it was contagious -- the island doesn't even have a record of my original name.

Weird.

Yeah.
