[] Ask Homura what she wants to do.
-[] Keep working on defensive enchantments? Comment about their usefulness not only to give to Madoka, but to protect everyone's Soul Gems.
-[] Just sit back and relax watching the sparring video.
-[Q] Just grab everyone in a huge cuddle pile (invite Madoka) and have a cuddle pile sleepover.
Understand -and decide our reactions to - the sum of the remainder of Homura's ambiguous responses. As expected, one doesn't get a walkover in these situations.
Set up a way to give ongoing support that is interactive. Affirmation must be available to her short term. As long as we avoid infohazards, involve Mami a bit more with Homura? Kyuubey isn't between them now.
Pay attention to Homura's agency. Oriko conversation was ineffective to affirm her agency, because there WAS one right answer. Go beyond "we give her choices" level. It would do her more good if she can invent and pursue a project with others, where she is the authority.
-- Sub goal - ask her if she is gathering and planning for Walpurgisnacht? Can she lead the strategy meeting?
-- Sub goal ask her how old Madoka will be when her ability to contract expires? Get Homura to imagine herself making a realistic future she wants.
How might we involve Madoka in support? That is part of the 'deal' with her. Also, we need to present magic in a continuing harsh light. It helps to run Kyuubey off the rails.

1. Homura sees herself as a defective single-purpose machine, worthless, subhuman, trash for her inability to fulfill her intended function of protecting Madoka.
2. Homura will be happier when she reaches a point she can stop seeing herself like that, and deserves to be able to reach that point.
• Check on Masami/Hiroko/Ono and their Kuroki hunt
• Check on Asunaro, try to contact Hijiri again
• Check with Nakano Mika how her talk with Kyouko went
We can probably do all that from the apartment. Offer to make Mami a bracelet to match the ribbon one on us. After everyone goes home, ask Mami to just seriously do anything for Homura if she is asked to because gawd we owe her so much and can do so little for her (or don't do that, ehe).
And then tomorrow...? I favor roosting on the school roof for the first few hours of the day, personally.
Train Homura to affirm herself.
Very first time will be now, and it will be a "repeat after me" thing.
"Any time and any place, Homura. I am here for you. Whatever is going on, whenever it's going on."
Or a -Yes, and Thank You too.- Nobody can escape this fate alone. We don't have to become perfect. We should try to be together. Giving each other hope can't be wrong. We need her as well.
Is your initial impulse to verbally test her for each stage of Wish? Might be good? We must not mis-understand.
We can lead? "Sabrina feels a deep need to control your Grief. You just gave her that. now tell us "----"?
Find Tsubaki Mikoto(bleeding heart guca from Suzune Magica, hopefully we can get to her before she witches. Getting to her should also prevent basically all the problems in Suzune Magica from happening)
Check Kuroki's phone(don't fully recall who she was, but we were investigating her earlier and trying to see whether she witched out or died or something. We found her phone, but haven't done anything with it yet)
Find Tsuchiya Ritsuko(Hitomom's old school friend. She's PROBABLY dead or witched out. But if she hasn't, we should probably try and find her before she DOES die/witch out. Probably not as important as the others because she's probably fucked already.)
[ ] Talk to Sayaka about plans for tommorow:
-[ ] You're going to be hunting witches around town, looking into potentials, maybe meetings with some neighbours, and keeping an eye open for immigrants and/or Riona. Does she want to make a clone to join you?
We could also bring up the possibility of witchbombing Sayaka to Homura right now,(that is, bring up the possibility right now, not actually suggest to immediately witchbomb sayaka) but whether Homura is up for that talk right now I don't know. On one hand, she might need some time to recover from that talk, on the other hand, talking business might help her cope a bit. Personally leaning towards 'not right now'.
[] "Hey, it's not a problem!"
