>>2898096>This is why I am optimistic about Homura not dying in the next project despite all the predictions with her and Madoka departing together from this world and into the LoC.I think most people go for that ending because it's a decent place holder ending if you're optimistic. Wraith Arc fleshing out the purpose of the wraiths and their behavior along with the Swan Lake stuff seemed to make this ending more likely as well. I personally think they depart AS the LoC or new concept rather than Homura being taken into it. The LoC for meguca in the InuCurry Rebellion book is describe as just falling asleep forever and WA shows Madoka fighting her lonely, eternal battle. Homura's focus in the concept movie is on Madoka loneliness and separation, so there's absolutely no way Homu would ever just go with Madoka so she can rest while Madoka spends eternity carrying that burden. Likewise, Madoka wouldn't be happy knowing Homura is carrying that burden, even if Homura is able to control the LoC herself with the earring cuff. If you can't prevent the one you love from suffering, may as well suffer together to lighten the load.
