A Gentle Approach

I stayed very still behind the pink eraser barricade, allowing Madoka time to register my presence without alarm. She turned slowly from the silver foil wrapper, her wide eyes blinking as they met mine. My heart hammered against my ribs, yet I kept my posture composed and carefully adjusted the bridge of my red glasses. Reaching quietly into my blue school bag, I withdrew the pale pink ribbon loop I had recovered from the riser earlier. I held it out on my flat palm, kneeling softly on the cool wooden desk surface. She tilted her head, taking one hesitant step forward, her shoe tapping lightly against the dark wood grain. Seeing her move freely fills me with an overwhelming need to shield her, but for now, patience is our bridge.#PuellaMagiMadokaMagica #Madoka #HomuraAkemi #Movies
