To start, it feels less like an something beginning and more like noticing something that was already there. The walls have colors that weren't there before, and are a different shape, and by the time she realizes how that this is the hallucination Edie was talking about she is in a void spangled with distant stars in every color imaginable.
Immediately in front of her are two globes. One feels, along a sensory axis she doesn't know how to describe, like the lights surrounding her. The other one feels like herself. Each one is dotted by...nothing visible, but points clearly defined to this new sense. Magical Girls, a nonvoice whispers from nowhere.
The globes fade from sight. A scene appears of a Kyubey saying something to a rapt young girl. The exact words that are exchanged are indistinguishable, but she is clearly going to make a wish. The whole scene is clearly labeled, somehow, as wrong.
That scene, too, fades, only to be replaced by a handful of jagged superimposed images that are all too familiar--the end of the world. The nonvoice whispers, No.
A series of impressions are presented to her--this thing does not understand witches. It understands her, or her magic anyway, because she is right there to be understood. But it has never seen a witch. It does not know if the one that will kill everything can be stopped. It does not know what weapons it can give her that will let her prevail. But her motives are just and her need is great. She can have power, if she wants it.
