[4] "I'm transferring into Mitakihara Middle School this Friday, and here are some gifts for you!": Make friends with Kamijou Kyousuke and keep conversation… going.
-[4] Ask if Kyousuke has ever played the violin.
-[4] Mention your heart condition at some point during the conversation.
[4] "I've been feeling pretty well lately, but I should probably get a check-up to see how my heart is doing. Shizuki-san, Madoka-san, could you accompany me to the front desk so that I can make an appointment for a physical?": Find some excuse to leave Sayaka alone with Kamijou. He's the one she made her Wish for, after all.
[4] Write-in: telepathically encourage Sayaka to confess.

"You're welcome!" you say, smiling, stepping forward. "I'm transferring into Mitakihara Middle School this Friday."
"That's nice," says Kamijou, smiling.
"And we've got a few little gifts for you," you say. You look at the tiny card nestled in the stuffed bear Madoka is holding. Very little gifts indeed. "I hope they're okay."
"It's the thought that matters," chuckles Kamijou. "Thank you, Sayaka-chan, Shizuki-san, Kaname-san."
"We saw Fusen-kun and a few others at the escalator," says Sayaka, pulling up the bedside chair and sitting on it. She arranges the gifts on the bed beside Kamijou.
"Yeah, they came to visit earlier." Kamijou sounds wry. "They ate all the fruits in the baskets."
"That's a pity," says Hitomi, examining the empty baskets. They're stacked on Kamijou's bags, beside the cello.
"No, I told them to, Shizuki-san. Less to fit in the car when my parents get here." Kamijou laughs. "Besides, I'm already well, so I don't need the fruits anyway!"
"You play the cello, Kamijou-kun?" you say, eyeing the instrument.
"Yeah," say Kamijou and Sayaka simultaneously, and then she snaps her jaw shut and looks away. He laughs a small laugh. "Yeah. I thought I'd never play it again, after the accident, and now… it's like being given back something you thought was gone forever, you know? It's a gift. A miracle. Even the doctors said so."
You know what that's like.
"I know what that's like," you say, your voice soft. "I'm glad for you."
"Didn't your teacher say you might even be able to play in a concert by year's end?" says Sayaka to Kamijou.
"Only if I practise enough, Sayaka-chan," says Kamijou. "I feel so rusty now!"
"I'm sure you're as good as you've ever been, Kamijou-kun," offers Madoka.
"Have you ever played the violin, Kamijou-kun?" you ask.
"Eh?" says Sayaka. "No. Once. Maybe?"
Kamijou shrugs. "I've only tried once or twice… ah, Akemi-san? Why?"
You blush, try to pass it off as a shrug, and fail. "I thought… maybe they seemed similar?"
"No, they aren't, Akemi-san," says Sayaka, and her voice is… pitying, even. "Kamijou-kun plays the
cello."
---
Somewhere along the conversation, somewhere in between asking when Kamijou's parents will arrive ("Seven-ish?") and talking about the few weeks of missed school he's going to have to catch up on ("It's too bad you're getting back to school just in time for exams, Kamijou-kun," says Madoka sympathetically, "but it's better than having to repeat the year…", and everybody agrees), you manage to work in that you're used to hospitals yourself, that you only just got discharged from one a week ago or so, for your heart condition.
"I'm glad you're feeling better now," says Kamijou.
"Well," you say, and you do your best to look uncertain, "I've been feeling well so far, but… I should probably make an appointment, for a check-up, just in case…"
"That's a good idea, Akemi-san," says Hitomi. "You should always be careful with your health."
"You're right, Shizuki-san," you say, and seeing an opening, you take it. "Would you and Madoka-san accompany me to the front desk to make the appointment?"
"Um -" says Hitomi, but Madoka rises heroically to the occasion.
"It's okay, Shizuki-san!" she beams, taking your arm. "I'll take Homura-san there."
"I'll see you afterwards, then," says Kamijou, and he waves as the two of you leave the room.
But I wanted Shizuki-san to come along too! you think.

Actions in abeyance said:
[ ] Resolve the cockroach issue.
- [ ] Summon a [BUG ZAPPER OF SUMMON INSECTS] or [BUG ZAPPER OF ATTRACT INSECTS]. It should summon any nearby insects and zap them.
- [ ] Regularly clean the apartment
[ ] Training with Sayaka and Madoka.
[ ] Ask Madoka and Mami if the sleeping potions worked.
- [ ] Invite the others to the party, when appropriate.
[ ] If the others are up for it, perform a post fight analysis. Discuss with the others what we did right and wrong and how to prevent danger in the future.
-[ ] One of the things we did wrong was to not have Sayaka there with us. Mami is strong and capable, but she can't be everywhere in a fight. Besides, we're magical girls, we should work together. Sure, most of the time magical girls compete over grief seeds, but your magic lets us break that system rule.
[ ] Otherwise, wait until Hitomi is gone, then quietly ask the others if they're wanting to go witch hunting today. If Sayaka grumbles about it, then quietly apologize for sidelining her in the other fight. If Sayaka's soul gem is over 33% corrupted, tell her that from everything you've seen and experienced, when one's soul gem gets too corrupted, it impacts one's emotions very badly, and Sayaka's soul gem is in need of cleansing.
[ ] Regardless of whether or not witch-hunting is going to happen, find a suitable place to access your [INVENTORY] without drawing undue attention, and give Mami the two [TWICE-DISTILLED MAGIC], utilizing the [BOTTLE OF FLAVOURING]. If Madoka or Sayaka are in need of cleansing, then look to give them enough potions to bring them to maximum (without any wasted MP), [DISTILLING] and [FLAVOURING] as needed for their convenience.
[ ] If witch-hunting is go, go with the others to a good place to do magic, and transform, then [INVITE] them to your [PARTY]. Use [COMPASS], [MAP], and [IDENTIFY] to locate familiars and witches, and discern their capabilities. Tell the others where they're located and what their approximate capabilities are, compared to what your magic tells you their capabilities are, with a further note that your magic doesn't always tell you everything. Reassure everyone that you'll cover all of their magic expenditures tonight. Discuss options and tactics.
-[ ] At a good moment, ask Mami if she could help you fix your gun -- it jammed during the fight, and you're pretty sure that you messed up the sights. You don't really know how to care for firearms, and the last time you did something with them without knowing what you were doing, you shot accidentally yourself. Ask her where she learned about guns, so that way you can study up on them.
[ ] Telepathically encourage Sayaka to confess.
Automatic actions: will occur unless specifically avoided said:
Looking for targets:
[ ] Use the [COMPASS OF DETECT CORRUPTION], [MAP OF MITAKIHARA OF LOCATE BEING], and [IDENTIFY] to find a Familiar/ Witch and learn about it.
- [ ] Tell everybody what you've learned.
- [ ] Discuss options/ tactics.
Entering barriers:
[ ] Ensure at least three items of [PROTECTION (ELEMENT) OF IMPROVED EFFECT] for everybody going in.
During hunts:
[ ] Ask/ attempt to get the last hit on the Witch.
[ ] Toggle on [EXP SHARE].
[ ] Toggle on all [RESISTANCE {ELEMENT)] skills.
Grief Seeds:
[ ] Give to Madoka.
Whenever possible:
[ ] Transform.
[ ] [INVITE] everybody to the PARTY.

What do?
[ ] Get Hitomi out of that room! (How?)
[ ] Telepathically encourage Sayaka to confess.
[ ] Leave it be. Go to the front desk with Madoka.
