His father told him that? Madoka thinks of her own father, how kind and understanding he's always been. How gentle. She can't imagine him ever doing anything like that.. Then what must Yoite's father have been like to have said such a thing?

"You can't change the past."

Madoka knows that, though even she sounds a little sad as she says it. Because it's a hard thing to just accept when you have regrets about anything in your past - and Madoka sure does too.

"So.. feeling bad about that.. it's hard to escape, but also just not really useful, you know..? We can only change the future. And that's what you're trying."
