SayakaQuest Thread 10: Glory To The Death

Reader mode
[x] Stay
[x] Say something to Tomo

I'm really sorry about your parents, and I'm sorry I had to break it to them like that. When people can't get along, it hurts.. it hurts them, it hurts who they're fighting with, and it hurts everyone around them. There's no easy fix for those real problems. We can use grief seeds to wash away some of the darkness in us, but that doesn't solve the real problems, and it doesn't help normal people.

All you can do is keep trying — keep trying to understand, and keep trying to make yourself a better person. You can't make things better by changing the other person. Just... don't give up. No matter how bad it may seem, it -is- possible to get past it. It just takes hard work, and support from your friends; you can't do it alone. Don't give up on your parents, and don't push away those who are, in turn, trying to support you — Yuka, Hitomi, myself.. even Akane.


[dunno if it's in time.. was out to lunch earlier]
 
[x] Talk to Tomo.

"...Alright." You turn. "What will you do now? I mean...it's up to you, really." You lean forwards. "We're not going to force you to do anything. We're here to help you and your parents with this right now but-" You swallow. "-Walpurgis is coming. You should evacuate. There's no way we can ask you to fight it."

Tomo stares at you. "...Why n-not?"

"Because right now..." You sigh. "You're new. You're not doing well...and right now, your family..." You want to say 'is falling apart', but you can't get the words out. "...Needs you."

She takes a deep breath. "O-okay, Sayaka." She nods at you. "It...it still doesn't feel right."

[OPTION SELECT]​

[] Convince her one more time.

[] Stay. (One more update)

[] Leave.
 
[] Convince her one more time.
-[] "I know. Sometimes it doesn't feels righ but... we will protect this city. You take care."

Only one update more to forcibly leave, though there isn't much we can do by now, anyway. Butchered some votes. Don't know if this actually works so... thoughts?
 
I'm thinking...tell her to focus on her family problem? Something something it's the Sempai's job to protect their precious Kouhai? It's obvious that she wants to fight and feels like shit just running. Which is fine, since she's supposed to be a Sayaka Expy and we all know what canon Sayaka does when she sets her mind to something. So her wanting to stay despite the odds isn't surprising in the least.

The thing is, we know that if Tomo stays she's little more than cannon fodder to Walpy. Same goes for Yoko and maybe Sukuyo. So the question is, can we change her mind enough for her to not just stay and fight regardless of what she or we say to her? Without giving her something else to focus on I mean.

I highly doubt that so...redirect her to dealing with her family since they're actually, you know, listening to her now and not just in a constant yelling match?
 
Yeah this was, to put it lightly, not a proud moment for us. That vote should be fine with a quick amendment, though. It's not like we can salvage this shipwreck at this point, and I suppose it would be wrong to ask the rookie to fight a living hurricane that would just curbstomp her anyway.
[X]Ugolino.
Edit: vote changed.

[x] Talk to TomoMom.
-[jk] Say something, I'm giving up on you...

[jk] Find the right mental song. Maybe the answer can come to you if you are in the musical zone. Therapist Sayaka, play thy song.
 
[x]If...If something goes wrong, someone'll need to protect the city. Make it so other girls don't need to contract just to protect the people here. That someone might be you and Yoko, and even Sukuyo. We...need you to get your family to safety.
-[X]"I know. Sometime it doesn't feel right but... your family can't handle you running off to fight something like Walpurgisnacht right now. They need you. You take care."

Comparing Thread 1 Sayaka and thread 10 brings a smile to my face. She's come so far.

She tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end, it doesn't even matter as Walpy is going to wreck 1/4 of the city and girls are going to contract left and right due to the aftermath. Sometimes, I don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard we try you know?

Time is a valuable thing. There's 5 days left and too much still left to do. We watch it fly by as the pendulum swings, watch it count down to the end days when all our pitiful efforts to save the city fail and hundreds die, thousands are injured, many more are rendered helpless no matter what we did. You could say the clock ticks life away. The life of Mitakihara City and the daily lives of its inhabitants.



Linkin Park butchering aside, Sayaka's a badass. But, like all badasses such badassery didn't just form in a vacuum. I like the fact that Sayaka's a badass and she really has come such a long way from her canon self...but I have to wonder if what she sacrificed, or simply endured, was worth such badassery.

From a pure survival and quest perspective it was worth it. Like Homura said, this is the best loop she's been in. There's plenty of meguca, more than there ever were in canon, they're all more or less on the same side, the city's at peace more or less, most meguca actually have parental support because said parents are in the masquerade, and said parental support are going to evacuate in time for Walpy. Mitakihara's future has never looked brighter.

From a personal perspective of Sayaka's life...even with Kyouko, I think Sayaka would be far, far happier if she never contracted. The nightmares, the guilt, the crushing sense of responsibility towards the city, the violence...far, far happier. Well, at least she hasn't fallen so she can't lose it all right? :p
