[Homura groaned inwardly, then, as she felt a familiar and unwelcome breathlessness as she - No, Humility or "Lily" or whatever her name really was started to walk next to Madoka, or Gretchen as she was apparently called in this strange place. So the girl whose body she was now inhabiting didn't only look like a slightly younger version of Homura, she even had the same kind of heart problems that Homura herself had used to have, it seemed. Damn it, she really did miss having her magic now - She could have fixed all of that right up if she'd had access to her magical healing powers, she was pretty sure. Oh, fixing up other people's bodies via magic wasn't at all as easy as fixing one's own body, as Homura had discovered from hard experience, but this girl was practically just a different version of herself, with only slight differences.]
[Gretchen, in the meanwhile, had entered a middle sized cozy looking room. A young noble woman with golden hair who looked just like a slightly older version of Tomoe Mami looked up at them from her chair, and then quickly stood up with a smile.]
...Welcome, Miss Gretchen, Lady Humility!
[And then, she came over to the two girls and tilted her head, looking at Homura's face.]
- Oh, Lady Humility, those coral spectacles are just adorable! So this was the special gift Miss Gretchen trying to keep a secret, hmmm?
[Humility blushed a bright red, then, and almost started to stammer.]
...Th - Th - Thank you, Lady Marianna! Um, Miss Gretchen is always so kind to me, and these spectacles are wonderful, I can see so much better when I have them on...
[Homura sighed a bit, then. Wait, so this Humility was obviously a noble, but nobody had even bothered to make her any glasses before this, even though her eyes were obviously bad? Come on!]
