You are an average 14 year old girl living in Mitakihara City, turned Magical Girl through a contract with a mysterious creature named Kyubey. You've been utterly miserable these past few days; your mother died to an illness, your father has started neglecting you out of grief, and a group of girls have started to bully you at school, on top of the fact that you're a Magical Girl and have to fight Wraiths. After a rough fight with a Wraith, you got fatally wounded. As you lay on the ground, drowning in a pool of your own blood, writhing in pain, a girl in a long, white dress seemingly materializes out of nowhere right in front of you.

Madoka: My, you've suffered a lot, haven't you? It's okay, you can rest now...
