...I'd like to ask a few questions about these 'personas' we were given, if I may.

What is the nature of the contracts we've signed to receive them? What is the catch? What do they want from us in return?

[She's dealt with enough tricky contracts for one life-time, thanks.]

My memories of the time are foggy, and I would never have willingly agreed to anything of the sort so easily. I need to know what I've signed up for with these unusual abilities we've been given.

[She's refused to even try summoning it up to this point oops.]

That's all, thank you.

...Without going into too much detail, let's just say that the last time someone came offering me a contract in exchange for magical powers, it ended horribly.

I don't want to make such a horrible mistake again.

Seriously? You're not even gonna tell me what happened?

[Time for guessing, then.]

You grew a tail? You grew another face? You grew a tail with a face on it?!

[He's kidding, but he doesn't want to just ask if it was one of those soul for power contracts with the devil or something.]

Stop me if I get it.

[Depends on your definition of 'devil'.]

Must we?

[Homura sighs. He sounded like the type of guy that really would keep guessing until she threw him a bone, so...]

I was allowed one wish, and in exchange I had to fight to protect my city from monsters. However, the price was much steeper than I was ever told of. I, and anyone else who made this agreement, was doomed to a life of pain, suffering, and death-- the greater our wish, the more suffering we had to bare in return. But no one would ever agree to something like that if you were honest about the consequences, would they?
Contracts for power are always bad news.
