So I guess she's been fucking with us the entire time. God fucking dammit, Hijiri, you self-defeating piece of shit.

Of fucking course we can't help you get what you want if you won't fucking tell us or work with us.
 
Can we Gem her while she's transformed into lightning? Is her Gem something we can grab in that state?
 
I'm thinking its probably some variety of teleport, so we might already be too late. Anyone know if the Pleiades ever showed any teleport abilities off? Still haven't finished that series.
 
If it's what she wants that matters... Something that we haven't offered her or said anything about but she clearly greatly wants?

[X] Hijiri isn't the only wishborn.

(I mean, she associates with Anri and the Sojous, girls notably for being made into copies and clones by magic. She feuds the Saints for first making and then trying to kill Kazumi, a big part of her grand plan is implied by her word choice to be making more artificial humans. It's glaringly obviously important to her and we haven't said anything about it.)
 
I still think saying we've been created by a Wish would seem like manipulation, but in the case we were to do it, our first action should be to restrain Hijiri, who is currently made out of lightning and about to try and speed off, or kick us?
 
How the heck would we even prove to her we were made from a wish instead of just lying to tell her what we think she wants to hear?
 
Hm, I think I agree with the general idea of telling Hijiri. Sure it could come off as manipulative, but there's not much else Sabrina could do to peacefully deal with her. Hijiri doesn't think Sabrina can help and likely believes Sabrina is a natural life, so knowing she actually does have someone like her who wouldn't stand for any discrimination of artificials... Probably be complicated, but seems the best by giving Hijiri someone she can relate with.
 
I'm now very not confident that talking will help. :|

[ ] Box Hijiri in solid Grief. Then Gem her.

Putting her in a box is also a defensive action, since it puts a wall between us and her.

What were my plans for talking with Anri...

[ ] Have Mami guard Hijiri's body and Gem for the Pleiades to pick up, while you go alone to talk to Anri.

-[ ] Once Mami's free, support us from outside hearing range.

[ ] On the way to Anri, make Grief undercoat and protect your Gem.

[ ] Ask Oriko if she can talk Anri down, and if she needs anything for it.
-[ ] If yes, try to comply and make time for her to arrive.
--[ ] Potential actions with Anri:
---[ ] Re-introductions; apologize for earlier.
---[ ] Ask about her: Who she really is; what does she want.
-[ ] If not, Gem Anri as quickly as possible.

But we don't really know what to say to Anri, either. :|

She has Umika's magic, we can invite her to look at our memories.
We'd have to put her on time out before going into any sort of detail or back and forth.

The fact Anri's ETA <1m will incite Hijiri to stay on the aggressive path.

Would we be able to open our barrier infront of her as she tries to leave?
If Anri and Hijiri give us 30 minutes, totally. :V
 
Just blow Anri's head off. We don't have enough time to deal with her right now. And it's not like talking to her will go better than talking to Hijiri.
 
We don't need to snipe Anri; her magical skills make her very good in a straight up fight, but between grief armor and ignoring pain, she can't really hurt us.

We can just go and gem her.

[Q] Grief wall between us and Hijiri. Open the roof. Let Hijiri go.
-[Q] Telepathy: "Run away again, then. Keep running away forever."

You know I definitely think there's merits to this. Let her go but keep trying to social her. Via telepathy is fine too.

I figure there is a way it could work, if Hijiri literally just goes away. She can have her chance at having her own life; she's been asking to be let free for a while.

The problem is if she... doesn't. If she keeps trying to hurt the Pleiades, or if she teams up with Anri.

If we could be sure she wouldn't cause any further trouble, I'd totally vote to let her go. Explaining it to the Pleiades is a minor matter in comparison. Well, maybe not to Niko.
