voice 01 ✰ first wish

E-Excuse me.

I know this might be a bad time but I really need help. Um..my name is Madoka Kaname and I attend Mitakihara Middle School. This isn't Japan anymore, is it?

The trees and hills are all different...This place is really strange. It's like something you'd see in a dream.

Maybe I got caught up in a witch's barrier. If that's the case then this can't be good. Sorry I was rambling. I guess I'm still a little shocked from everything. I'm really sorry, again.

By the way has anyone seen someone named Sayaka, Kyouko, or Homura? I need to get back to my friends too. They're important to me and I need to know if they're safe along with my family.

A witch's barrier...? Unfortunately, you've come a very long way from home.

Mhmm. A Witch's Barrier traps people in another dimension so I thought it was like that but...

[Wait what.]

That can't be.

I realize that it might be difficult to believe, but you've been taken to another world. ... Though, you might be able to leave quickly. There are others who have somehow found a way to get back home.

I'll be strong until that time comes.

Thank you very much for helping me.

I wish you the best of luck-- But, if there's any questions I may answer in the meantime, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Um...I'd like to know your name.

That would be the easiest question.

My apologies... That's true, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? My name is Lion Ushiromiya. Pleased to meet you.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Lion.

Um..this might be a strange question but are you a male or female? I can't tell.

[ slight twitch, but a smile regardless. he knows that she means no harm by the question ] Kaname-san... This may sound strange, but I do receive questions like that often. ... I'll allow for you to choose whichever you'd prefer to look at me by.

Mmhmm.

[She shakes her head.]

I thought it was a strange question to begin with.

I thought you were a boy a first and I um...I really didn't know if I was right, because Lion could be a girl too.

Is it okay if I think of you as a male?

[ nod ] That's fine, Kaname-san. As I said, you're welcome to refer to me as whichever you please.

Okay!

It's a little mysterious but Lion is almost like a coin.

I don't mean to be rude but, if you can let people choose your gender it would be similar to that.

This may sound a little strange, but... I've heard the same metaphor in reference to myself by now...

R-Really...?

Well...you can only be one right?

A coin can only be heads or tales. You can't be both. Just like how Lion can't be male and female at the same time...

You could say that I'm deeply connected to someone who's a bit similar to me. And, that's where the metaphor first came from... But Madoka-san is exactly right.

Connections are important. It makes things easier to understand.

I can see why they used that analogy.

I can't find any other reason of why they wouldn't use it...

Ah, can you?

Of course I can!

[ chuckles ] My apologies. It was rather surprising to myself when I first heard the metaphor used...

Would there be someone on the other side of the coin?

Someone just like Lion?

You said you were deeply connected with them so I was wondering..

Sorry if it's a strange question.

... Yes. That's right, Madoka-san. Perhaps you'll have a chance to meet with her someday... I'm sure she'd like to meet you, too.

I'd love to meet her.

I think it'd be wonderful to be acquainted with someone you know so well.

Then, if she does happen to come here, I'll make sure that I introduce you to her. I'm sure she'd be content to speak with others, especially someone that is as kind as you are.
