A Shared Sweet

Madoka paused in front of me, her gaze shifting from the wooden floorboards to the bright peppermint candy resting on my palm. I remained kneeling, holding completely still so as not to startle her, only gently nudging the rim of my glasses back into place. Slowly, she reached out her small hand and touched the crinkling cellophane wrapper. Instead of taking it away, she tilted her head with a shy, tentative smile and pressed the treat gently against the notepad between us. Sitting down cross-legged on the varnished grain, she gestured toward the wrapper, waiting for me to share it. Seeing her settle comfortably in this quiet corner, safe and unhurried, brought a profound warmth to my chest.#Madoka #PuellaMagiMadokaMagica #HomuraAkemi #Movies
