I suppose to a certain extent we were actually rather lucky here. This Witch was basically a wood chipper made of barbed wire and yet the various limbs are severed but otherwise intact. Having some or all of the limbs reduced to salsa was a very real possibility.

[x] Clean soul gems.
With your remaining arm, you grab the Grief Seed out of the air, and you bring it to your own Soul Gem. Immediately, you can feel some of your rage at Homura disappearing, and you feel refreshed once again. You bring it over to Kyouko, who seems to be barely awake thanks to the pain, and you put it to hers.
It looked very cloudy before. Now, it's pristine. She sighs in relief and satisfaction...but she's still in intense pain. "Y-you didn't n-need to help m-me..."
"Yes I did." You say.
[X] Stay calm. (37%)
You stumble a bit. You're starting to get a little dizzy from blood loss. You can see Homura picking up Kyouko's limbs and putting them with her body.
[ROLL: 28]
[X] Talk to...
-[X] Homura
[X] About...
-[X] "Why didn't you interfere?!"
-[X] Kyouko's damage.
-[X] Your own damage.
"What the hell, Homura?!" You shout. "Why didn't you help us?!"
Without much of a reaction, she just flips her hair and puts a pair of grief seeds on the ground.
"You could have done something!" You scream. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"
She looks back at you once.
"We could have died! I mean, Kyouko's maimed, I've been mutilated, and we're both dying! Does that mean anything to you?!"
She stares at you for several more seconds, before she turns away. She simply vanishes.
Your Soul Gem's getting more corrupted by the second. You have to do everything quickly.
[X] Try to fix Kyouko.
You seeth, but you quickly move over to Kyouko. You take your gem out and you try fixing her up with it in the same way that Mami did. To your surprise, it works quickly, and Kyouko stops wincing in pain as soon as the magic washes over her. Thanks to the relatively clean cut, it doesn't take much to fix her, and when you're done, she manages to make herself a spear and force herself to her feet. She stumbles, like she's learning it again, but she manages to get it fixed enough.
Before you get to work on your own arm, though, you check your soul gem.

You grab one of them, and you sigh. "...God..." You sigh.
[x] I'm gonna put my arm back on now. Can you use this Grief Seed to clean my Gem if...if I can't?
"I'm gonna put my arm back on now." You say as you grab it. Bits of flesh dangle off of the end, and you can see a piece of bone drop from it. It's incredibly gross to look at. "...Oh my god, that's disgusting."
"It's your own arm." Kyouko says as she slowly regains her footing. "The bits inside are gonna be gross."
"This has happened before?" You ask.
"Yeah. Was bedridden for weeks when I had to heal myself like this." She looks at you, then at her own arm. "Kinda surprising, though. My recovery this time was really fast."
"Yeah." You raise your arm. "...Madoka?"
She's staring at you. "S-Sayaka?"
"Can you use this grief seed to clean my Gem if I...can't?" You say.
She nods slowly.
"Thank you." You say. You raise your gem and you put your arm back where it belongs. You feel a sharp pain, before it quickly alleviates. Ligaments reattach to one another. Bones mend. Blood flows and muscles are rebound. You can feel it coming back together by layers, before it's done. You flex your hand in reflex. "...Holy crap." You say.
Then you look at your Soul Gem.
And then Madoka takes the Grief Seed to your Soul Gem. You can feel the corruption flowing away, as you take a sigh of relief. Your sense of failure is replaced by pride in how you destroyed the witch, even though it caused a number on you. After all, it was a wood chipper, and you came out with only a few cuts and scrapes...disregarding the severed limbs. "Thanks, Madoka."
[x] Talk to Kyouko. Are you Ok?
"Kyouko..." You look at her. "You okay?"
"Never better." She says. "...I probably would have gotten killed tonight if you weren't there, really." She rubs the back of her head. "I'm not usually that fuckin' stupid."
"Yeah." You say back. "Well...lesson learned, then." You sigh. "But...I...uh..." You gulp. "...About your...uh..."
"I don't want to talk about it." She says. "You don't need to hear it and I don't want to talk about it." She looks miserable just thinking about whatever it is.
You nod silently. "Alright." You put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey...I know we haven't known each other for that long but...you know I'm here and I'm your friend, right?"
"Yeah." She says. "...Same to you." She sticks a hand out.
You do the same...
And you handshake out of mutual respect.
[x] ...Homura actually did help. Apologize to her for flying off the handle next time I see her. (Also ask Madoka to say the same if she sees her first)
"...I really need to apologize to Homura next time I see her."
"Why the hell would you?" Kyouko asks. "She didn't help in the labyrinth."
"But she did help out here." You look at Kyouko. "I mean, think about it. You were pretty angry when you went in here. Maybe she didn't want to interfere with that." You look at the Grief Seed in your hand. "And she gave us these. If that's not a sign of help, then I don't know what is." You look at Madoka. "...If you see her before I do, could you tell her that I'm sorry for flying off the handle?"
Madoka nods, but she still looks worried about both of you.

[CORRUPTION: 72%]
You can already feel the effects. In addition to the wariness of having gotten yourself close to death, you feel a bit of failure towards yourself for forcing Kyouko to leave.

What? No. Don't do this. Kyouko already shook our hand and let us touch her, don't push her toward further physical intimacy. Edit: Also we're covered in gore and don't want to get it on Madoka.MHLord said:

Going back inside is a bad plan- Madoka's parents will get weird around Kyouko and make her miserable, and if we go inside when she doesn't it'll be abandoning her. Leaving makes it more socially acceptable for Kyouko to also leave, and inviting her to our house lets her turn us down and depart for the night with her pride intact.
[X] Bandwagon.
