Why wouldn't it work? We aren't a blank spot to her precog last I checked.

I think it's been mentioned a few times that we screw with her precog. Either way, we can still check, but it isn't perfect. If it were, she would have known about our little ambush, and our little interrogation technique as well.
[X] Cannongerbil.
 
Am I the only one leery of @Cannongerbil's vote? A grief carpet in the sky with Kirika of all people, is not the place to have this kind of intimate moment. It's not the worst, but it certainly isn't optimal. Not when we don't have to have the talk now; even then, it's... well. It isn't a conversation to have in front of Kirika.

It's not the time nor place, imo, but if that vote wins please may someone edit in an addendum that we screen off a bit of our ride home, to get some privacy?

Even if she does wake up, it's not like this is a conversation she can't hear or anything. She's kind of our friend now too.
 
My point has less to do with who is there (like my phrasing is clear on that :V) and more to do with the fact that this is a very intimate moment. You don't just have them anywhere; there's no real need to have it on a carpet full of literal bad feelings in the sky, versus the comfort of a nearly empty apartment. It is not something other people should be around for, sleeping or not.

I don't think the locale will have much effect on our conversation. Anyway, it'll be a little while in transit, so it's not like we won't have time to articulate our apology.

Flying on a magic carpet is a bad time for an intimate moment? :p

"Mami, allow me to show you whole new world. Kyubey? Actually a traitorous little shit who's been lying to you since you were a little kid. Soul Gems? Literally your soul! You aren't even technically alive anymore, you're a lich! Witches? Actually fallen magical gir- oh wait, shit. I hadn't told you that yet had I-" *gunshot*

Really does put a whole new spin on the scene.
 
I second figuring out if our gem is, or can be, a repository for our conciousness. Full on transhumanism would make things quite a bit easier. I like to joke about becoming grief!ramiel but knowing we could actually do that if needed would be a major boon.
 
"A whole new wooorld! A hopeless place you never knew!
And when we're way up here, it's crystal clear,
That there's no hope of happiness for youuu~!"
 
I'm really glad we were willing to have the earlier discussion on secrets. I always thought bringing up anything even remotely witchbomb related at Mami would be shouted down. So thank you all for that.


On the subject.

We're terrified. Admit it, we're scared shitless of how to present our secrets without ruining her or even leading to her death. I'm also afraid that the mere fact that we've been holding secrets will destroy any trust she's willing to give us, but keeping them secret also destroys that trust in another way.

And having just re-read the lichbomb for context, well, we said the exact same "didn't know how to tell you", "afraid how you would react", "wanted to find the right way" and it only barely worked in the end. Hell, saying those things made things worse at the time. So think carefully before you decide to painfully repeat history, keeping in mind that yes the context is somewhat different, but how Mami will react to betrayal hasn't really changed.

As for my suggestion? When it's time to reveal we've been keeping secrets, which definitely isn't this vote but could be today or tomorrow, just tell the truth. The bare, naked truth, and the bare, naked feelings that go with it.

-[]At first I was worried about how you'd react. But slowly, I realized hiding things from my best friend was wrong. Not letting you choose what you want to know is wrong. And then I was afraid you might hate me for keeping secrets from you in the first place. But the longer I go without saying anything, the worse it will get. And even after realizing that you deserve to know...
-[]I'm still afraid. I can't lose you. I can't...

Uh, I know it's been three months to us, but in universe it's barely been over two days since we completely shattered her worldview. There is no way telling her about the witchbomb in the next two days will ever be a good idea.
