Third Deduction [Open]

[modernholmes]

 [The setting was an empty corner of an amusement park at night.  In the distance you can hear the tinny sounds of carousel music and the screams of happy roller coaster riders.  But here there was only a grassy lot, empty in the darkness.

And sitting in a shallow depression in the center of the room?  A tiny boy with blood running down one side of his face, dressed in clothes far too big for him.  His breathing is short and panicky, but he says nothing and makes no move to stand.]

[This is more and more like a brewing battle for a magical girl. Homura doesn't wait any longer. Unhurried and cautious, but purposefully, she creeps towards the carousel for a better look at what seems to be source, if it's the place where color and sound remain. She pushes her hair back out of her way.]
