And so Sayaka thinks she would be Homura, she thinks she’s gonna be the silent hero who works thanklessly day and night to save the person she loves, but it takes a toll on her really fast and even though she sometimes succeeds (at least in violin boy’s case), she still breaks down
Homura, meanwhile, started off thinking of herself as somebody who wasn’t strong enough to save the people who loved, and she desperately wants to be strong enough, but still can never actually succeed at her impossible task. So she thinks she’s Sayaka, trying so hard to be the savior but not good enough

congrats on not changing at all as a person
