Somehow, I doubt it.
"Our work here is done, Kirika. How would you like to go to Hawaii?"
"You...you're coming too, right?"
"Of course. I have instructions right here, for our...new friend to keep that girl busy while we're away. She should be able to handle things. What do you think?"
"If you're coming, I'd love to go! When're we leaving?"
"Right now. They won't even know that we're gone. Not for the next week, anyway."

Direct Intervention pt. 29
You blink. That was not what you'd expected. "I... you deserve better. All of you do, Homura," you jerk your head to indicate Mami. "I know what you've been through, Homura, don't forget. I know what happened. And you, Homura..."
You smile at her. "You are kind of amazing, you know that? You did this, all of this, for Madoka. You've never given up, even after everything that's happened and everything you've learned. You made yourself better, and you keep going," you say, gesticulating to emphasize your point. "Homura, do you have any idea how few people would be able to do that? Pick themselves up and just... carry on?"
Homura looks taken aback. "I- For Madoka, it's worth it. Anything is." Her eyes are wide, and her expression is more unguarded than you've ever seen of her when she's awake.
"Perhaps so," you reply. "But the fact is that you do it. You keep going. And not just that. You still try to save the others. Mami, Sayaka, Kyouko... Oh, I'm sure you tell yourself that it's because Madoka cares about them. But after all's said and done? You still try! Perhaps you don't succeed. Perhaps you made mistakes. But you tried!" You pause to take a breath. "I care, Homura, because you deserve it. I know what you've been through."
"I- I..." she swallows heavily, and begins to loosen her hand on your shoulder. You've been expecting this, though, and lightning quick, you reach up and grab her hand clamping her hand down against your shoulder to prevent her from running away from this conversation.
You decide to take a chance. "And... You know what I think? I think that... no. I know if Madoka knew, she would be proud of you, Homura." Then you let go, and spread your arms wide, careful not to touch Mami. Take your shot, if I was out of line.
The time traveller squeezes her eyes shut, bowing her head slowly. Like this, she looks vulnerable, and you wonder: how long has it been since Homura's had positive contact with anyone not Madoka? Let alone anyone who understood what she'd gone through? How long has it been since someone cared about Homura as a person?
Has Homura ever been given the comfort that someone else supported her? That she wasn't simply madly charging at an unattainable goal, a modern day Sisyphus?
"Homura, you are one of, if not the strongest people I know." You carefully avoid the fact that, technically speaking, you know perhaps five people, seven if you include Oriko and Kirika. "But even the strongest people need help, sometimes, and that's no shame. Here's where your friends step in, Homura: I believe you can do it, and I want to help. I want everyone to make it through this, Homura, because you all deserve better." You hold out your hand to her with a smile, mindful of the short distance between the two of you- her arm is rather shorter than yours.
She hesitates, the hand not on your shoulder making a half aborted move. Then, seemingly steeling herself, she puts her hand in yours, and you close your hand around hers, clasping it firmly. Her hand is a bit cooler than yours is, you note as she releases your shoulder and steps back. "Thank you," she says quietly.
"I stand by what I said, Homura. You deserve it, every bit, and more," you reply. "So, are you sure you want to go on with the hunt alone? Be careful, if you do, and do remember to eat and rest."
"I," Homura flounders for a moment. "I'll do my bes- no. I will. May I have a cleanse, before I go?"
"That will do, then, and of course," you smile at her. You draw the corruption off her gem, leaving it sparkling, and then squeeze her hand again, to remind her of what you'd said. "Good luck."
You let g-
-o of her hand.
It is weird, being the subject of the time stop. It's like watching a movie which suddenly skipped a dozen frames- not even a flicker, but things change.
Homura's suddenly shifted to the side, and is holding on to your still outstretched hand.
"Hi, Homura," you say, after getting your bearings. "How goes the hunt?"
She shrugs minutely. "Searched around her school a bit more. Haven't found either of them." She doesn't specify who 'them' might be, nor does she need to. "Took another nap," she adds, an odd expression crossing her face - it takes you a moment to recognize it as self depreciation. It looks odd on her. "I... must admit I needed that."
"Good," you say firmly. "Cleanse?"
"If you would," Homura says, presenting her Soul Gem. You nod, and pull the filmy darkness away, once again leaving it the brilliant amethyst it should be, before collapsing the cloud of Grief into the familiar little spheres.
"Are you going to continue on?" you ask Homura.
"Yes, I think so," she replies. "Just one more run, I guess."
"Alright. Take care," you say. Her grip on your hand loosens, and-
"I found her. Her and Kirika."
"You what?" Somehow, you weren't expecting that. You shake your head, clearing off the initial fugue. Homura's actually looking pleased. "Is she dead?"
"I- no, not yet," Homura says. "I thought that you might like to come along?"

Well, well, well. The one roll that I rolled to decide where Homura would search, and she makes it with a 91 (on a d100). (Remember, I wasn't rolling for your search.)

[X] Go
[X] Bring Mami.
[X]Alright, once we get there, I'm thinking we use the ribbons to bring her in and keep her restrained.
[X] We should take her far enough away from Kirika that she cant try and bring her in as well if she somehow gets a bit free.
[X] After that, lets try and get answers out of her. I want to know why "all this was necessary"
[X]Anyway, thats what I think we should do. See the scene before we actually do anything.

I second that as well. For now is the best choice we have. I hope Mami (and Sabrina) doesn't snap because fatigue.

Not sure about the wording, but we want to nab her soul gem simultaneously with the ribbon attack. We can justify it as stopping her from using magic if necessary, but in a worst case scenario, we want to stop her from trying anything- and she probably knows about the soul gem=soul thing.
Also, are we sure bringing Mami is worth the limitations that puts on our conversation/interrogation with Oriko?

Sabrina: Kyubey! I've got dinner for you!
Kyubey: *Walks in* I do not actually consume the grief receptacles, but rather… *Stares*
Sabrina: What?
Kyubey: You have almost two hundred units of congealed grief orbiting you.
Sabrina: Yes? What's your point?
Kyubey: Last we met was just a few days ago. What exactly have you been doing during this time?
Sabrina: *smiles* That's a secret!

I'm of somewhat mixed opinion on bringing Mami. On the one hand extra firepower might be good if things go bad (though considering Mami actually fights using her magic and Kirika has anti-magic that's questionable) as well as avoiding Mami's abandonment issues; on the other I'm worried about Mami hearing things she shouldn't or objecting to us taking any necessary actions against Oriko and Kirika.
Edit: Vote changed.

Guys, we just had this big huge talk about not leaving Mami behind. We're taking her.
