Where did you get "out of mind" from? If we're cleansing her from out of sight she definitely isn't out of mind. Doing more than cleansing doesn't change how often we'll need to check on her to keep her from spiraling while we're doing something else.
Masami and Ono both think we're annoying, they could bond over that.
And we don't already have enough social drama on our plate to stumble through? Dealing with Oriko, Masami, Kyouko, University/Sendai/Fukushima groups, keeping the Mitakihara meguca from imploding under their own neuroses, etc.?
Masami: "Sabrina sucks." *Sips tea*
Doing more than cleansing stops her from destroying herself/having her issues crush her. Which given her circumstances, probable wish, and family life, are likely.
Nope. They're problems that we need to juggle sure, but none of those are good reasons to disregard Ono's tendencies...and doing so would make more work for us later when they inevitably cause her to start self-destructing. She's the Sayaka to our Homu, unfortunately.
Are you implying the Sayakas' suicidal behaviors scale with the Homu's social aptitude?
Clearly they would have trouble due her wishing to fall into unending despair.
I'm assuming victory exists as a possibility.
Does she hate us?
If you don't want cleansing her at range to be an option, it's talking to her every time she needs a cleanse. So like twice a day. If you want her to either a: hide necessary cleanses from us and witch out or b: continue to hate us for forcing close interaction whenever we're worried about her, go right ahead.
She isn't going to hide necessary cleanses from us...and honestly, we're going to need to interact with her for things to improve.
*punts Kyubey into the nearest blobby pink trash remover*
They might. Let her cool off and demonstrate that no, we don't have to go inserting ourself into her life all the time.
You'd rather rely on Oriko and Homura than just not incentivize Ono to lie?
Do you remember that annoying kid who injected themself into conversations they had no idea about and refused to leave when told to out of an apparent belief that friendship is determined by word count? That's who you want Sabrina to be.
It means we have to interact with her constantly, which is a massive downside in itself, and our friends will also have to spend inordinate effort making sure she isn't dying of stupid.
Never talking to her again- basically what cleansing at range means- is essentially locking ourselves out of the loop where Ono's concerned. Given her wonderful track record to date, I'd rather have actual interaction with her before everything inevitably goes to hell for her.
We already suspect she can totally turn it off. Poor way to phrase it. Just "how to use less magic" would do the trick.
With a clear seed, she's as close to unkillable as anyone alive.
No it doesn't.
If you're okay with bothering Oriko daily with whether or not Ono's going to witch out, surely using her as early warning against a less frequent threat is okay?
Twice a day?
With a clear seed she'll fuck up and hatch a witch within the week.
