I know, I've just never seen anyone connect the dots.
Why haven't we told Sayaka and Homura? This won't instantly solve the whole "They don't trust her" problem, but it'll go a long way toward improving the situation!
I'm having another one of those "we have no chance of winning because we're fucking morons" moments.
edit: No, it's been too long, Sayaka will have forgotten. We missed our chance. Great.
If Sayaka left the door to her room open that night, it's likely something she does habitually. She'll remember whether or not she usual does so.

Speaking of time-limited. Oriko's memories of her visions are fading, and there's still that thing I want to ask her: Reading through things a lot of her despair comes from her absolute certainty in the accuracy of her visions, save for only us and Feathers... but if her certainty is broken, especially by an action
she can take, it should give her a spot of hope.
As it so happens, I think that possibility exists in the idea that she cannot see the results of
herself changing. She's historically been unable to make any progress learning enchanting via her visions, and IIRC she likewise needed to be told how healing worked by us. The biggest flaw in the idea is her making a bomb, but if that came of Kirika's help or without her peering into the future first, it could have happened.
This can also be tied into how the Oriko of Symmetry Diamond got control of her visions: When she talks with Yuma she talks about "being the person you want to be", which could well have come from or sparked an epiphany.
(It even makes a sort of sense for her wish: She wished to know her life's meaning. So her power shows her that meaning, via the viewing the results of being who she is as she is now.)
Some of this is new, much is not, and I've spoken of this elsewhere, but I felt it should be reiterated and put in the thread proper.
I'm fairly certain Homura was present when Oriko mentioned that. She just doesn't care. I also believe Oriko mentioned that detail to Sayaka but I can't say that for certain.
It's arguable whether or not Homura got the implications of what Oriko said but, yeah, she was there. I can't find Oriko and Sayaka talking about it though. Closest they come in the update where they confront each other is going from "you tried to kill me" to "Feathers."
The only thing I can think to add is that we might bargain by getting a discount rate an any additional prisoners down the line. Because you know this won't be the last psycho meguca we ever encounter.
I'm not sure how to fit this in in the space allotted.
We could advance our works agenda when we call KB, right now.
I do not understand what you mean by "our works agenda." Elucidate.
Get our feet over to the other Fukushima groups now? Not important? Why?
Doesn't strike me as super-important. As long as the offer is on the table, we can do it whenever we're back.
Get details set for Anri confinement? She does have future value, or... do we have a plan to replace her utility?
Honestly, the biggest future use for Anri would likely be near the end stages of dewitching ...at which point she's either defused or we can just get Asuka Yuuri to watch and chaperone her.
