Side Story

Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain for an old puppet show called "Koneko no Gorogoro" ("Kitten's Purr"). Sana explains that she's a fan of the show and starts talking about the cast and events. Sana apologizes for talking too much, but Iroha tells her not to worry. Sana starts to worry that her past will just repeat itself, and thinks about how she became a magical girl. Sana narrates that she's her mother's "stepchild". Her actual father has been dead as long as she could remember. Her mother would say that marrying Sana's father was the biggest mistake she ever made.

Sana's mother was always strict with her, and would yell at her no matter what. Her current father is a professor at Kamihama University and teaches at it's medical school. All he cared about were Sana's grades, which were always poor. He would literally call her a stupid girl and demanded that she get better. Sana also has two step-brothers from her step-father, an older one and a younger one. Her older brother had the highest grades in the country, while her younger brother was athletically talented. Both of her brothers were greatly loved by Sana's mother.

One day Sana asked her older brother to help her study. However, her older brother called her stupid as well. Her younger brother says that neither of them have to waste their valuable time on Sana. Eventually, it reached the point where her entire family declared Sana didn't deserve to be part of the Futaba family. Claiming that she tarnished the family name with her actions, Sana's family forbade her from interacting or even seeing them. They told her to send an email if she needed something. Since that day, Sana hasn't said a word to her family, and vice versa. Sana narrates that she had to stay quiet, or else it seemed she would be abandoned completely.

Since that day, Sana spent more time outside. She would spend her days wandering aimlessly. One day though she made a friend - a stray cat she named Goro, after the "Koneko no Gorogoro" show. Every day she would feed Goro in a back alley and talk to him. She would do things like ask if Goro lived in an animal city, like on the show. Sana narrates that she was just living simply because she was too scared to die. Sana wonders if she could live in the animal city, but realizes it doesn't really exist.

One day, Goro vanished. Sana tried to find him and eventually met an old man who ran the store in front of Goro's alley. The old man explains he called someone from the health department to take away the stray cats behind his store, and asks Sana to stop feeding them. The old man apologizes when Sana starts crying, but she runs off. As time went on, Sana started to believe Goro left because she talked to it. One day she thought she saw Goro but found nothing. Unbeknownst to Sana, it was actually Kyubey. Sana narrates she never saw Goro again.

After Goro disappeared, Sana decided to simply stay at school after class. One day, she met a student from her class who liked her "Koneko no Gorogoro" keychain. Sana was happy to make a friend, especially since the student was also lonely like her. One day, Sana was bullied by some other students, who took her keychain. Sana looked to her friend for help, but her friend did nothing. That day, Sana just stopped going to school. She called her friend once, and after an awkward conversation Sana cut off all contact. Sana has no hard feelings, believing the student was scared as well. That was when she met Kyubey.

When Kyubey made his offer, Sana didn't even think about making wishes to fix her family or make friends. After all, she was betrayed by those people. Sana initially asks to be taken to the animal city where Gorogoro lives, but then just says to make her invisible. Sana explains she just wants to disappear from the world, as she believes herself worthless. Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks her what's wrong. Sana narrates that until she met Iroha, she lived by herself. Since normal people couldn't see her she stopped going to home or school, not wanting to deal with the world around. She thinks about what she would do if she hadn't met Iroha, but is interrupted by Iroha talking about "Koneko no Gorogoro". Sana mentally thanks Iroha for finding her and is glad she wasn't alone forever.
