[X] Talk to Tomo.
"I know you were just trying to help." You say. "This isn't your fault...sometimes there really isn't an easy fix."
"I-I could have wished it." She says. "I could have..."
Kyouko tenses up at the mention, before you turn. "...Manipulating them would probably have been worse." You say. "...And that's not as easy a fix as you'd think...not for something as complex and important as the people around you." You see your mom leaving the bedroom. She just looks exhausted.
"...You have to keep working on it. Talk things through...support each other as much as you can." You stand up. "...But first we need to save your family."
"I...hm." She shakes her head. "I'm so sorry." She says, quietly. "I'm sorry for this and not listening to you and..." Her eyes shut tightly.

-[x]We both made the same mistakes, but as long as you have something to fight for, then things will be okay. You're still helping your family by getting them to safety, even if the wish itself wasn't worth it.

It's steady, but occasionally you see it get a little darker. You don't know how she's still holding on.
[x] Talk to Tomo.
"I was also an idiot who didn't listen." You say. "...Don't be too hard on yourself." You take a deep breath. "...We both made the same mistakes, but as long as you have something to fight for." You squeeze Kyouko's hand. "...You're still helping your family by getting them to safety...even if the wish itself wasn't worth it."
Tomo looks up at you, then she shakes her head. "...I'm...I'm sorry." She says. "I'm sorry I couldn't..."
"Don't apologize." You say.
[x]Talk to Kyoko
'...This fucking sucks.' You murmur.
'That's it, when we get home, we cuddle.' She looks at you. 'How's that sound?'
'Yeah.' You smile. '...Seems good to me.'
[x]Ask MikiMom how it went.
"How'd it go?" You ask.
She frowns. "She didn't even say anything to me." She takes a breath. "...Then again, she slapped me earlier."

-[X] "We have more preparations to make before Walpurgis arrives. I'm sorry for what you're going through, but I think your wife needs you right now. You can't do much at this point, but you can be strong for Tomo, she needs her parents right now."
I can see so many ways for this to go wrong, but I can't think of anything else right now.

Well, it worths the shot... unless Tomomom doesn't want to see anybody now.

Ugh. Taken like 4 days straight, but finally caught up on this. Great story, though.
So, lemme get this out of my system: Arrrrrrgggh! Every fricking fight scene (and other posts, but mostly fight scenes, and especially the ones against the Tokyo girls), half the uses of the pronoun 'she' seemed to be Completely Bloody Random! Who is talking, who is walking, who is stabbing, who is falling, I have no bloody clue. Even more fun when there are multiple 'she' uses in a single sentence, each referring to a different character. Or when a 'she' is in the same sentence as a named character, but doesn't refer to that named character (or even a character in the previous sentence). Or 'she' is the noun of one sentence (properly identified by the previous sentence), but the 'she' that is the noun of the following sentence is someone completely different.
I had to read the scenes multiple times, substituting characters in until I could finally get something that sort of made sense, and hoped it was close enough. At least in one-on-one fights it was mostly pretty easy to work out properly, though there were still points that I'm not sure of even now.
There were a few instances of 'it' with the same problem.
Please, for the love of god, work on building proper context for what you write.
... Sorry, after several dozen posts in a row, that was reallllly getting agravating. Not sure if anyone else brought it up; didn't see any complaints when I read the immediate responses to posts, though about 1/3 of them were stripped out in the conversion to SV, and about halfway through the quest I mostly switched to reading via links instead of running through the threads. On the other hand, it hasn't been too large an issue in thread 10, so maybe Moid has just straight-up improved in his writing.
On the other hand... lots of feels, throughout. Had to skip past some as the story went on because that's just too much sappiness to take in in one massive read-through.
So, magic-nullifying girl (Emiko)... Was she supposed to be of help against Walpurgis? Cause that seemed like the perfect tool to fight against some of its defenses, as soon as I read of it.
And then immediately followed by the intimidating-bully-kick-her-out-of-the-city act, where she's probably dead by now. Great going, Sayaka. No guilt cause you don't have to actually see her keel over.
Only other thing I'd complain about the more recent arcs is the constant refrain of, "It's not your fault." Sometimes people make bad decisions. Sometimes it -is- their fault. Maybe they didn't have sufficient information at the time, but that doesn't mean they have insufficient information now, and -now- it's time to work on fixing those mistakes.
Mainly this is with respect to Sayaka's Sayaklomacy. Sayaka's a white knight, a defender of justice, Lawful Good. I can't imagine her going around telling people that what they did wasn't their fault, but she'd -definitely- be working on getting them to understand the mistakes they made, and make amends for those errors.
Anyway, enjoying it.
