Footsteps in the Quiet

Your words sent a sudden jolt through my chest, but I forced my hands to stay steady as I climbed behind the monitor casing. Shining the small keychain torch into the narrow clearing, I noticed fresh, distinct imprints pressed into the fine layer of dust on a rubber cable mat. They were small, deliberate steps leading around the corner of the metal base. Beside an upright surge protector, I found a tiny, discarded paper star resting beside a neat stack of sticky notes. Leaning forward against the cool plastic casing, I saw the hem of a pink skirt disappearing past the edge of the notebook tower. She is indeed awake, and moving on her own.#HomuraAkemi #Madoka #PuellaMagiMadokaMagica #Movies #mystery
