There is another goal I think you could add on? We should be trying to consider how to get Homura to share her pain more often. We need to make that a "system she can control," not just a "promise to help you." Her utilization will be too little otherwise, her self-care is rather damaged. Homura is at risk to not reach out, even though she knows she could. Such a plan needs to be interactive with us.
We
want that but it's a separate mess.
You'll recall there have been a couple times we've tried to get Homura to tell people about the loops. Now, that's not exactly a perfect point, because what we really want to do is tell people a really,
incredibly censored version that doesn't, for instance, involve the witchbomb. But that's not what she thinks of it.
Homura... firmly believes that telling people about the loops is a quick route to bad-ending a loop. I think it's worth talking it through with her, explaining how we'd do it, all the ways it probably wouldn't end up going horribly wrong, etcetera. But that's a whole kettle of fish in and of itself -- it probably deserves its own vote. And once
that conclusion is reached, it becomes pretty obvious that we can't mix it in with the current one, because we
need to address what's going on in the present.
[X] Keep being empathyBrina.
-[x] Take care to keep Homura open and communicating.
-[x] Take your time, give Homura however long she needs.
[x] Tone: Absolute, total, beyond the ends of the world certainty. You know this is true.
-[x] Homura is not a failure. She is not a good for nothing. You won't put up with hearing one of the most amazing people in the world, one of your friends, put themselves down like that.
-[x] Right here, right now, Madoka is happy, and safe, and protected. By her. And if Madoka hadn't met Homura, her life would have been worse for it.
-[x] If Madoka knew everything Homura's done for her, she wouldn't hesitate for an instant to say that Homura is her greatest and best friend.
[x] Conversation goals: Get Homura to a point where it's safe to let her think about all of this.
-[x] Madoka was better off with Homura there, even if Homura hasn't met her own standards of success yet.
[x] Potentially, as needed to accomplish those goals:
-[x] She was put in a nearly impossible situation, and can't blame herself for that. You couldn't have done better, not in her shoes.
--[x] She still kept Mami and Sayaka in her heart to the end, even though they kept falling and taking Madoka with them. She kept trying, which is all anyone could ask.
-[x] You know what Homura's done, and you accept her. You'll believe in her to the end.
--[x] Madoka would too, you're certain of it.
-[x] Only because of Homura is there hope for a better world in the future.
--[x] Striving for a better outcome for everyone is what Madoka would have wanted from her.
-[x] Thank Homura for all she's done - and still is doing - for Madoka, you, and the world.
-[x] Provide tactile support and encouragement to the degree Homura is comfortable with it.
[x] Let Homu compose herself before returning to realtime.
I don't think we should put anything in here abut returning to realtime, and I continue to wish you'd just kind of scrap everything after the first two blocks. Not only would it bring it well within the re-imposed word limit
[] Write-in (word count limit: 150 words)
but frankly everything after that is... It's all just completely irrelevant. Yeah, I get that you have a delimiter on it saying "if it seems like a good idea do it." It's still got you over 300 words for little discernible reason.
