At school, [[Mandatory Session]] is interrupted by the appearance of [[Tomoe Mami]] nearby, who has taken a detour to check the school for potential recruits with [[Kyubey]], who claims he has found one. The sighting leaves [[Ryouko]] dwelling on the remote possibility of becoming a [[magical girl]], distracting her enough that she unthinkingly agrees to go on a date with another boy from class. [[Simona]], one of her friends, sees that she's unhappy and follows her out to a riverbank with a view of the starport. |

− | + | [[Mami]], on the other hand, surreptitiously visits [[Kyouko]] in her church to discuss [[the Cult]]'s discovery of irregularities in the [[grief cube]] supply chain. She agrees to look into it and departs, only to encounter a [[demon]] spawn on her way back. At the riverbank, [[Simona]] is about to confess her feelings for [[Ryouko]], when they are suddenly attacked by demons. [[Ryouko]] manages to keep the both of them alive for a short while before getting trapped. At the moment she attempts to sacrifice herself to save [[Simona]], [[Mami]] saves them both, and along with [[Kyubey]] explains that [[Ryouko]] has the [[potential]] to make a [[wish]] and become a [[magical girl]]. {{Quote|"I wish I could leave Earth," Ryouko said, looking down, "and explore this world. I want to go where no one else has gone before and find my place in this universe."}}}} | |
