[Life goes on.

And for Elicia, losing quite a few loved ones in such a short time-frame hasn't entirely exhausted her youthful determination. She has a super hero to look out for her papa. And she has Jack's special compass. The last few days she's been outside her school with said magical device, pacing back and forth, watching the small needle turn and turn with no set destination. It's what she's doing today, pacing and watching it never stop. They weren't here. The people see was waiting for, that is. It's what she wanted most, and 'cause they're not here the compass says no.

Well, she'd just try again tomorrow!]

[... it's been a long time since she really tried to talk to everyone. She smiles big for the camera.]

Hey! Today I read a really good book; it was called the Swan Princess! I didn't know some of the words, but I knew mooost of them... It must feel really funny to change into animals and stuff. But the worst is getting turned into a frog! 'Cause you'd be all slimy and green and tiny! And you'd have to get a kiss, even though you're a frog...

But I'd kiss a frog! I-if it meant helping someone change back, I'd do it! ... Maybe on the cheek!

Definitely on the cheek!

And if it was a prince maybe he'd give me a cool crown for helping him!

[Siiigh. That sounds so cool.]

I wouldn't kiss a big lion, though, because they like to scratch! Unless they say they're friendly. But I don't know anyone who knows a friendly lion...

They are, aren't they? And they're usually pretty strong and cool too.. [ she nods a little to herself. ]

I think there's a nice lion in that story called.. um.. the Wizard of Oz, I think?

Wizard of Oz? What's that about?

[BESIDES OBVIOUSLY COOL WIZARDS OR SOMETHING]

It's about a few people who go travel to find the Wizard of Oz, since he's a really great wizard and grant any wish!

[ Madoka herself is already getting caught up in the story a little from just telling that, really. ]

Any wish?? What kinds of wishes did they have?

That's right, any wish at all! [ a nod. ]

And.. well, for example, there was a scarecrow who wanted a brain! And an iron man who wanted a heart!

Oh, wow! Those are real important to have, huh? I wouldn't want to be missing those...

Hmm, it must be pretty difficult to live without them.. Without a brain you couldn't be very smart, and without a heart you couldn't feel anything at all.

I would say it's rather sad, but.. you wouldn't even be able to feel sadness.

Yeah, but it's nice to be able to feel things!

Did they get to have their brain and heart and stuff?

[ She giggles a little. ]

Do you really want me to spoil the end of the story for you? That wouldn't be much fun, right?

B-but where do I find the story? Where should I look for it?

I wanna know how it goes!

Hmm.. Don't you think there might be a book with the whole story somewhere around here? It's a pretty popular book back where I come from..

Maybe! I'll ask my teacher if there's one around! A-and if she can't find it, maybe it's in the library! That's where they keep all the books, right?

That's right, there are lots of books in a library!

[ She nods with a smile. ]

And.. if you still can't find the story even after all that, you're free to ask me again to tell it to you, okay?

Okay! I'll let you know if I find it!

Hm, good luck finding it! I hope you really enjoy the story, if you do read it.
