I thought her wish was a direct result of her father's disgrace and suicide?
In any case, yes.

Same lol.
That bad.
All my PMMM knowledge is derived via proxy of fanfiction and quests.

If you think I have time to actually sit down and watch 6 hours of suffering, you are sorely mistaken. Besides I have read the PMMM manga and I've read Different Story.

Yeah, I did want to see it then I accidentally spoiled the story and found out the sheer suffering a bunch of teenagers had to go through. And the ending itself can only be considered happy-ish if you squint. I'm no masochist, and watching a story like that will only piss my off. So no. Just... no.
Op topic:

The ending is bittersweet, the whole show was just a deconstruction of the Magical Girl genre. Just like Evangelion was a deconstruction of the Giant/Super Robot genre.
Besides at least in PMMM when you fall to despair, you get to goto Madohalla, Probably a really nice place, given Madoka's nature.

Yeah, it is bittersweet. Doesn't justify having a bunch of kids (in my eyes) go through all that shit though. And I did watch Evangelion. Hence all my NOPE when I heard someone was gonna do a deconstruction on Magical Girls genre. Kids are kids, and I don't quite agree with the maxim old enough to fight, old enough to kill and all that shit.
Ah well. To each his/her own.

Kind of the whole point of a deconstruction...more of a this is what would actually happen if 14 year-olds were actually doing this.

See I don't really get that when I watch PMMM. Instead I see a story about what it's like to be a magical girl in a universe that is actively trying to screw you over.
It has it's flaws but I'd say Sailor Nothing does a much better job at showing the consequences of basically been a child soldier.
That said this is getting a bit off-topic.
So to push things back that way; Assuming Oriko isn't home where else do you guys think we should look?
...But we already did a grief-scan of the school earlier and turned up nothing.
Perfect timing?

So how is this supposed to work anyway? An icosahedron only has 12 vertices, so we exceed half by one, which is going to screw with the symmetry. Not to mention that an icosahedron doesn't have an easy "half" to split into unless you're putting the points at the midpoints of the edges (there are 30, so fifteen groups of seven would work there).

I agree, and eagerly await an answer.
The point (hah) being that you can't quite split a icosahedron in half - you have, essentially, the vertices of a pentagonal tent off centered vertically above (and behind) you, plus one more 'dangling' point.
What is more interesting about this than the exact geometry is the complexity. We established 7 clusters with 14 in a ring orbiting a central one. Try to imagine that in your head, now try holding a conversation with them in the background. The complexity of such arrangements indicates that we're essentially not required to maintain any focus to keep up a movement pattern of them. It seems like we can set a movement pattern and they'll keep to it without any further attention.
That would indicate a very high number of grief marbles being possible to control. I don't think we have to worry about overwhelming our capacity.
This would fit with our original wish being to control "all grief".
