I didn't vote for Gerbil's, as I was wanting a somewhat more nuanced approach, but I'm also not getting any feedback on my proposal, so didn't want to make it an actual vote.

Word of Firn from the very first chapter is that Oriko is a primary antagonist. That might have changed after we "befriended" her. Maybe. I have my doubts.

...why?
Sabrina is obviously Oriko's best chance for averting Akuma, permanently. Because Homura would keep looping otherwise, continually risking Akuma. With Sabrina, Homura no longer has a need to loop (nor take extreme actions), averting the whole problem.
And stop shadowderping where Oriko is concerned. Seriously, being her friend and working with her (and showing that we genuinely care about her concerns and fears) is always going to be a better way to deal with Oriko than constant paranoia.

I do agree that Oriko probably isn't working against us at the moment, but her best chance of averting Akuma would be earning our trust and killing Homura by surprise.
I'll admit I wouldn't consider that a fail. Homumom is our biggest potential problem in the long run. Honestly we could have canon madowish as long as Homu is dead or somehow restrained long enough for Madoka to take her to Madohalla.

And spoil Mum's legacy? No.
We become the protector of the innocent, including Madoka.
We become the one who will destroy Walpurgisnacht, and ensure the survival, and eventually happiness, of Madoka.
We become the Homu, in honor of the one who came before us.
Hell, we could even make a bitchin' cowl out of grief and talk in a gravelly voice.

But that's vastly inferior to the kind of breakthroughs we could make with grief science: we could end the system entirely, while hers is simply less awful.

2 dead civilians there, one here is a triple fail.
Still, I'd be annoyed with Oriko if she did that. I'd understand, but I'd be annoyed.
Does she have any idea how hard it is to recreate lost artifacts you don't understand?
Hm.
*wills grief into lost artifacts.*

Those were more minor failures, though. Collateral damage inherent in fighting to the death for your day job. Homura, Madoka, or Mami dying? That's the death of a close friend, which, since we're human, is much more important to us. Also, Mami, Homura, and by proxy of Homura, Madoka, have all trusted us with their safety to some extent, making their deaths a personal failure. The civilians died in ways that we had less control over, so while it's sad, it's not a personal failure. You can't go blaming yourself for every single death you could have prevented, had you been perfect at all times rather than fucking up here and there like humans do.

We're here because Madoka wished to "fix everything." Thus far, we've assumed that this includes getting as many people as possible out of this alive (And also as good guys). Regardless of whether we consider it our "mission" or not however, we've stuck to it this far; it would be very out of character for us to just let Homura get murdered because it's more convenient for us in the long run.

Saving Homura is one of our long-term missions, though. She's also not in our way in any capacity other than being uncomfortable with letting Oriko run free. Also, given how Homura breaks down and cries from time to time because she's actually trusting someone, breaking that trust would be truly despicable. There are few crimes greater than betrayal, especially of one's own mother.

To be perfectly honest, I would consider Homura dying just a big a failure as Mami dying.

Have I mentioned that this is a really good plan in my book? Because it's a really good plan in my book. I even started doing an AU Spinoff Thing but got horribly distracted by Real Life. Also I couldn't figure out how Sayaka and Homura's relationship would evolve past college. Also whether or not Sayaka would go to college...

If Homura dies or anything, we tell Madoka to wish for the timeline to reset with us remembering everything.
