Introduction Arc

The Introduction Arc is the very beginning of the Mitakihara Original story. It goes over the very first elements of the plot that still have bearing on the story now, and introduces Esther Rinju, Alice Rinju, Hiroko Mitsuhoshi and Yuzuki Tokai. The Introduction Arc segues straight into the Rinju Arc.
==Plot Summary==
===The Beginning of The End===
Esther Rinju, an 18-year-old senior at Mitakihara High School, plays an essential role in the life of two other girls. On one hand, there is Hiroko Mitsuhoshi, her sombre and studious childhood friend, and on the other hand Alice, her younger sister by three years, whose diabetes keeps her away from school regularly.
As their parents, especially their father, are almost never home, the Rinju sisters do everything together and couldn’t imagine their lives without the other. Especially Alice, a bed-wetting social recluse, considers her sister the only person she truly loves. But Esther isn’t the same person she used to be. She goes out regularly, often talks to herself, seems to have taken a dislike to her parents and watches security footage on her laptop for an unexplained reason.
===Suspension===
When Alice gets suspeded after regularly arriving late to school and getting a brutal revenge on Nobunaga, a boy who has been bullying her ever since she returned, the sisters are paid a visit by Esther’s class representative: Yuzuki Tokai. Yuzuki tells them that Nobunaga has been hospitalized.
During her suspension, Alices’ curiosity concerning Esther’s secret grows considerably, until Esther decides to reveal her dark secret to her sister. The couple heads to the city’s desolate docks, where Esther announces that 6 months ago, she exchanged her soul for a single wish and the powers of a Puella Magi, a magical female warrior who cleanses the world of malevolent witches.
As Esther is about to guide her sister into the witch’s hiding place, Alice is introduced to Kyubey, the mysterious creature that gave Esther her powers. Esther immediately warns her sister not to pay attention to the mysterious creature and the trio enters the witch’s dimension. However, right as Esther is about to transform into her Puella Magi form, a surprise attack pierces her chest and steals her life.
