Because there is a known time limit for exploring the wonders of the mortal realm, and thus we sorta need to grind the skills to learn what Rei finds. Furthermore the odds are basically a coinflip, and we can tilt them in favor by arguments, which is important as both the breakthrough decision alongside the character generation for curiosity fit well with Rei being able to craft an argument to overcome herself.
Alright so Albus told Rei that love is a source of wonder, and that means we should totally be capable of using that as a theme to ignite the curiosity she has for the world to explore how it manifests differently among mortals/immortals. This won't stop as the school year starts, can be used to see how it influences their success in the school year, and even exploration into the mortal realm in subsequent summers.
[X][Social] You've decided to set apart a day to be the model daughter. Starting with breakfast a-la-Qi, followed by a trip to the art exhibition at the local gallery, a picnic lunch, then a free afternoon to do whatever he'd like. In short, spend time with dad.
This is taking the advice of Albus about cherishing the bond Rei has with her father, the advice Ollivander gave about mortals having little time, and aiming to find a nugget of what Albus was talking about with love being the source of wonder through having Rei interact with someone she loves.
[X][Social] The address you got from Harry really isn't that far from you. If you wanted, you could incorporate a dozen or so miles into your morning run with little issue and swing by.
This is checking up on Harry to see if he takes it as bad as Rei did, and get a different perspective on how mortal families look like from an immortal perspective. Oh, and while this is ooc in the event of a crit there is the possibility of something intresting if the canon protection given to Harry by Lily still works as that is powered by love iirc.
[X][Social] You receive a letter inviting you to "Trade pointers" with "Young Mistress" Daphne Greengrass. Also in the envelope is a single-use transport talisman you're starting to become quite familiar with.
This is looking at things from the perspective of an old blood family, and Rei learning about her late mother whom she loved. Oh, and bonding with cousins whom she hopes to get to know even if they can never use that phrase.
For next turn social action I'd suggest the following,
[][Social] Hermione has invited you and Dad to meet her own parents, to tell the adults comforting stories about your time at Hogwarts and set their minds at ease.
This has Rei get a third perspective from the mortal pov, and maybe see what the difference is that made Hermione not have any problems.
[][Social] You've got Dad to agree to a weekend trip to the countryside for you, visiting Mandy's clan and reservation.
This gives a look into the immortal side of things from a well established clan.
[][Social] Although the time you can spend at Hogwarts is precious, so is the opportunity to actually get to know some of the elders. At worst, they'll just tell you to leave them alone. See what happens when you try to take your lunch at the head table.
-[] Albus Dumbledore
This would be fun to take, and likely Rei cement any answer she comes up with.

-[X] Albus Dumbledore
-He was extremely nice and helpful in the interactions we've had with him, and the fact he even bothered to interact with us is astounding. He told us to call him Albus!
Oh I totally think Rei should do a follow up on what they talked about last time, but that is best done after she has spent some time seeing how others handle, or simply avoid the problem. So do it next month imo.
I wonder, given there's a substantive community of purebloods, if they don't purposefully delay their ascension so as to profit from their privileges in this realm. That'd almost seem appropriate in both aspects.
I'm wondering if what the Great War in the mortal realm was pretty much a proxy war by various ascendant immortals** who wanted to avoid Voldemort using his Horcrux to have a permanent stream of loyal recruits once he ascended. Like the fact that most pureblood clans appear to do things in house implies a degree of conflict of interest, and it is interesting that Lucio can be a Lord while having graduated* Hogwarts I think implies a capability to leave something where there is sufficient motivation to overcome the obstacles for doing so.
I'd speculate the Elders are doing so by using Hogwarts itself as a method for doing so, and they're liable to be pretty limited to act outside of the school grounds. Oh, and this makes me wonder if something in the upper realms required their complete attention, and the last war didn't so much end as burn out in the mortal realm once Voldemort lost his ability to take over them.
*Presuming this remains unchanged from canon I suppose.
**Now for extra fun if Harry's parents graduates, and ascended did they come back down to the mortal realm to hide, or did they leave a lesser body behind to keep an eye on things until they had Harry? Because the reason Harry is Lord is he is the only Potter in the mortal realm, which uh has implications as he might have relatives in other planes of existence.
) until it was pointed out to me. ^^
