With the party and everything going on, it had taken a while for Kazumi to get around to her own present in her room. The basket of food was certainly appreciated, but she was more curious about the other item she found in her trunk. A small diary that looked like it had been in a fire, the words "Diario M.K" on it. She'd never seen it before... was it hers, from before she'd lost her memories? Was "M" her family name then? Curious, she took a seat on the bed and started flipping through it.

Recipes, memories - she'd met Yuuri before the other girls? And then the Pleiades, the happy memories she didn't have. It was nice to have them now. Still, she flipped through, eager to see if there was something leading up to when she'd lost her memories, beyond what Umika had restored to her that night so long ago, to when Airi had kidnapped her...

The last entry sent a chill down Kazumi's spine. Was this after Yuuri had become a witch? Had she... felt that kind of shock? Now that Kazumi thought of it... if she had made her friends into magical girls, wasn't it her fault they'd become witches? But they'd vowed to reject the Puella Magi system, to work beyond that, hadn't they? So why was this despairing entry the last writing in her diary...?

It was as she was wondering all this that the letter fell out of the back. Picking it up, Kazumi opened it to read.

None of it made any sense. It couldn't possibly make any sense. She didn't want it to make any sense... but she had to know.

Letter in hand and diary clutched to her chest, Kazumi rushed over to Saki's room, heart in her throat and mind a storm of questions as she knocked at the door.

"Saki...? Are you in?"
