SLAMS THE DOOR OPEN. I NOW HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH KYOKO IN THE VERY FIRST TIMELINE!!!

from, i think, the drama CDs:

oh shit

"Kyouko comes back to Mitakihara even if Mami didn’t die. She says she’s here to hunt witches, but really to see Mami and hopefully rebuild a relationship with her. Unfortunately, she mentions wanting to see Mami’s new kouhai (Madoka) which leads to Mami being protective, assuming Kyouko will hurt her. Kyouko goes back to Kasamino afterwards."

LAYS ON MY FACE

she shows up like in different story but mami is so protective of madoka she shuts it down and kyoko just

leaves

my HEART

there's a post with info from the drama CDs and PSP game

and i am just DELIGHTED bc there are so many details i had no idea about

"Homura apparently looks and acts just like Junko when Junko was little." oh my god

sits

god i am still reeling from the timeline 1 info

given how kyoko talked about wanting to see mami's new kouhai in different story, like, the way she phrased it and the way she swaggers after showing up, her whole attitude at that time (which seems to be consistent across the timelines)

its no wonder mami was like "she's here to hurt madoka"

and i just. GOD

SHE JUST. LEAVES. after seeing that mami is happy with madoka and thinking mami doesnt want her around

my characterization is so fucking valid
