42

Madoka tells Hikaru and the others about her choice to decide things on her own, before discussing with Elena about her future. Elena says she plans to help out her family by attending a local high school. The next day Elena has her parent-teacher meeting with her mother at school, when Elena doesn't show much interest in what she wants to do, her mother becomes worried about it. Later, Madoka speaks to Elena, sensing something is wrong and wanting to repay Elena for helping her to decide her own dream. Elena admits she is unsure about her future but Madoka encourages her to think about it. Tenjou appears and turns Elena's mother into a Notray, causing Elena to realize that her mother has noticed she isn't truly smiling. Elena becomes downhearted and is beaten down by the Notray but the other Cures manage to encourage her enough to defeat the Notray, though it was a bittersweet win from Elena's perspective.
