Madoka had been watching the strange woman for a long time, for as long as she'd been...well, awake.
At first, she had thought it was Sayaka, her blue hair and the blue of her clothes shimmering in the dim light, but as the name had come to her lips, the woman's face and figure gave her pause, sending her to wait behind a tree instead.
Of course, the clear question in her mind was: Who was she?
Whoever she was, she wasn't anything like any Magical Girl that she'd ever seen. Was she new? Recently contracted?
Madoka's heart clenched at the thought.
A Recently contracted Magical Girl meant more would have to suffer needlessly in this game that the Incubators created, full of Magical Girls, Fallen Dreams, and Despair-borne Witches.
...It had been whilst poking her head out from behind the tree, clad in her Magical Girl garb, wondering if she should reveal herself or not, when the young woman hardly gave her a choice. With a sigh, Madoka stepped into the light, raising her hands as a show of her peaceful intentions.
"I am. It's okay, you don't have to be afraid."
She took a few steps closer, though Madoka made sure to keep her distance. If the woman (Yes, woman...she was older than most Magical Girls Madoka had seen at any rate. Was Kyubey contracting them at older ages now, too?) was already suspicious, getting too close was the last thing she wanted to do.

"Ummm, sorry for spying on you."
