She stood there, paralyzed in shock as the witch loomed in for the kill. All she did was blink. One blink and she wasn't staring death in the face anymore. She wasn't in the Witch's Barrier with Madoka and Sayaka, who were witnessing how once a powerful Puella Magi fell to her doom. Mami gave a start, finally noticing how soaked her Puella Magi outfit was. Even changing back into her school uniform did nothing to dry her clothes nor her hair.

'I'm... alive?' was the first thought that came to mind. She turned to look around at her surroundings, not recognizing each building, each little store she saw. What made the sight more odd was the glowing coral in the middle of everything. Mami felt a slight tingle at the back of her left hand, giving a gasp when she saw a mark of some sort on her skin, like she was branded by someone.

No, this wasn't a work of a witch. Her Soul Gem would have reacted to the changes, gone crazy at all of this. So, if this wasn't a witch then...

"Where on earth... am I?"

[She doesn't mind though the contact surprises her at first. She relaxes after a while, thinking that she and Riku must have been really close before.]

[She smiles at his words, nodding her head.] Yes, they can. That is... if you don't mind rebuilding the bond we had, Riku-san.

[Like siblings, but he wouldn't say that just now. No, he wasn't going to drop so many emotional bombshells that she is overwhelmed and succumbs to her sadness. ...Heh, what a hypocrite he is.]

I don't mind. [He's had to remake memories and friendships so much, he's gotten used to it.] -if you don't, Mami-san.

[goldenflint]

No, [she shakes her head.] not at all. I'm looking forward to it.

[Chuckles, looking at the sorry state of her clothes.]

I should probably get some dry things to wear. My uniform can only take so much, don't you think?

[limitless_land]

Then there's your answer.

[He chuckles, nodding.] C'mon. There's a clothing store not far from here.

[goldenflint]

All right. Please lead the way.

[limitless_land]

[And he does so. It really isn't that far, and since he's been here so long, patrolling this area, he knows a shortcut. The walk is made in silence, and he doesn't mind it. In fact, it almost feels like 'old times' for a brief moment.

It isn't long before they're in front of a clothing store, and most of it is for girls. How did he know? ...A friend.]

[goldenflint]

[The silence between them was actually comfortable. Mami followed behind Riku, contented with just walking with him.

When the reached the store, the girl glance up, taking in the sight before looking at the older boy again.]

Shall we go in?
