[ Homura was lucky. Very lucky. She doesn't have much of importance for the Monkey King to take from her. Anything missing from her room has gone completely unnoticed; her books weren't going to be read anyway and she already stuck her new weapons in her shield.

But, just to be on the safe side, she decides to take precautions against a strike two. It's just taken her a while to summon the courage to actually bring this up publicly... It's terrifying to admit to this, since people may think poorly of her afterwards, but she has to. She can't risk being separated from her body. ]

Nothing of mine was taken, though I approve no less of those "hijinks". Despite my luck, I cannot count on it to continue. So I am taking precautions.

[ She holds her Soul Gem to the video. ] I am this gem. In the case that I am separated from my body, please return this to me as quickly as possible. I am hard to break, but I would appreciate you being careful.

Thank you. [ And she switches the camera's focus from herself to the wall. Not to be rude, but because she's a bit nervous after saying that and doesn't want to let it show. She immediately recognizes the downfalls of revealing her weakness... maybe she shouldn't put so much trust in these people.
Homura grips her gem tightly, then focuses the camera on herself again. ]

That's correct. My weakness has been revealed. But if I am separated from my body and say nothing of it, I will likely never get back. At least this way, there is more hope for being returned safely.

[ She nods. ] That is correct.

That was quite a risk. I will have to examine the consequences of such a gamble.

How did your soul manage to be removed from your body?

[rewindingly]

I made a contract. This was part of the deal I made.

[oforder]

[ Contract? What a very interesting choice of words... ]

You are similar to a Testament, then.

[rewindingly]

How so? And if I may ask, what exactly is a testament?

[oforder]

A Testament is a soul that has transcended to a higher plane of existence through death, by entering into a postmortem contract similar to yours.

[rewindingly]

I see... I suppose while it may be similar, the circumstances are quite different. An interesting comparison, none the less.

[oforder]

What did you give up for your end of the contract?

[rewindingly]

I will fight witches for the rest of my life in this inhuman body. That is the fate I accepted. I regret nothing.

[oforder]

Your body is inhuman?

[rewindingly]

I'm just my soul gem. This body is no longer that of a human. It's of a magical girl.

[oforder]

[ There's that term again. "Magical girl." ]

You are a magical girl? Similar to Eri?

[rewindingly]

Perhaps. Perhaps not. I do not know what kind of "magical girl" Eri is.

[oforder]

There are different kinds?
