16 — Licking Wounds
Another day, another grisly scene. Only one victim today, but the fifth in the last week. Two of which had not been discovered or reported on, including the current victim. A scene which, since the start of the year, had become too common. Cold comfort came in the fact that this victim was once again…

15 — True Blue
On Sundays, New Eden was an isolated haven for wayward Puellae Magi to come and train— even if the owner was quite a harsh trainer— and receive healing in the basement clinic. On every other day, however, the latter service was still offered, so long as magical girls kept their presence subtle and under the…

14 — Dress Rehearsal
The number of youngsters at work in what used to be Inori Jazz & Karaoke has grown significantly over the last few days, and the work they are doing has become more and more focused on the small details. While two students are stocking the bar, a group of three is looking up at a…

13 — Cold Little Heart (pt. 1)
Shortly after school, Seia trains with an unusual setup alone at New Eden gym. She has strewn cardboard boxes and water bottles at random all over the gym, together with the exercise machines forming a dense field of obstacles. Using the shadowy hands in her Puella form, Seia practices moving among them without bumping into…

12 — Blue Valentine (pt. 2)
Sitting across Shinju at a lavishly decorated table, Niko points her fork at her partner, some spaghetti coated in a rosy sauce still twirled around its business end. Niko: — I bet you she thinks I’m a “capitalist drone” or whatever, just because I wanna spend some time with my girlfriend. God! (pouting, she takes…

At the Shirahara household, Midori tries to find a way around the mess in the small kitchenette while her twin siblings run circles around her, holding a bag of chocolates in between her teeth. She mutters something at Chiaki, though the confections in her mouth make it hard to understand what exactly, as she holds…

10 — Paradise Regained
There is a lot of tension in the air at New Eden as a number of Yui’s students quietly wander in, sparing nary a word for any of their fellow trainees and quietly warm up or stare off into the distance, occasionally taking a swig from their drinking bottles once they leave the dressing room.…

9 — Knowing
Koharu: Useless. As usual. Koharu is lying on the couch, with her head on Yosuke’s lap and using her legs to prop up her laptop, which she unceremoniously slams shut. Yosuke: You know, I don’t think the internet is supposed to contain confidential information about ongoing police investigations… in all fairness? I mean. Koharu: Suppose…

8 — Meet the Hayamas
Niko shifts around in her chair, nervously shifting her gaze from one side of the dining room to another. If you didn’t know Shinju’s apartment was of a military base, you wouldn’t be able to tell, that’s for sure, but still — the sparse interior, featuring stark, rectangular closets, framed pictures of abandoned landscapes and…

7 — Sweet Lilies
The smell of cookies wafts through the Sasaki household, the sound of a game title screen on loop in Hanako’s room. Ueno comes in with a tray of fresh-baked cookies, cut and sprinkled to resemble characters from the game. Ueno: Oookay! It’s game time! Hanako’s eyes land on one particularly shaped cookie, a vaguely— intentionally…
