A valid point. Edited my vote accordingly.

Sorry, no, Homura would still know that we know about her glasses, and would "know" that we know that they're a reminder of who she used to be.

I don't care about the optics (heh) for the others, but the potential impact it'll have on Homura. No, I'm not saying it'll be some catastrophic collapse or some alarmist shit like that, but it's still seriously uncool.
 
[x] Be cheerful Sabrina.
[x] Receive Mami with hugs. It feels like months since you last hugged Mami.
[x] Try and have a nice lunch.
-[x] Ask how everyone is doing.
--[x] In particular, make sure Madoka and Hitomi don't feel left out.
-[x] Random chatter: Does anybody think we should get glasses?
--[x] Make glasses out of grief. Try them on. Have Mami try them on.
[x] Pull Homu aside at some point before lunch break is over. Ask for timestop if necessary.
-[x] Tell her that you want to discuss Walpurgisnacht with Mami and get her support in looking for help against Walpurgisnacht from outside of town. Mention letting Sayaka know about Walpurgisnacht, since she might be more focused with an upcoming threat. Ask what she thinks.

Edited. Again.

E: ... Or that. That works.

I don't really care about the glasses all that much either way, but asking Homura for her old glasses has a lot of potential to backfire, dragging up memories and maybe leading to others asking why she doesn't wear glasses anymore, etc. No need to risk it.
 
I really don't see the problem with Homu's glasses, but whatever.

Honestly, I'm a bit confused by that reaction, but I don't think her being okay with it is an argument against trying it when we talk to Sayaka.

Her reaction comes over as "huh, wouldn't have thought you'd think of that".

As far as I can tell, it's just her misreading our personality somewhat while still thinking it might work. Oriko's reasons for being okay with it aren't the issue so much as "does she think it's okay/won't backfire". As I see it, you're reading too much into it.

Damn, if anything, we should've had that reaction immediately.

"I mean - without telling her who you guys are, just introducing you blind and getting her to see you as people first?"

"I would be fine with that. Kiri-"

"Wait, maybe it's not such a good idea then..."

...Maybe just make some out of grief. Also, shades. Just because.

[Q] Make Shades out of Grief.
-[Q] If anybody is making signals at you, they'd have to speak up. You can't see anything right now.
--[Q] Well, you didn't want to use Witchy Grief.
---[Q] Yes, they're solid, OK?

:p

We probably can do the shades without going into Witchy feeling, though.

[X] Sabrina

Inception?

Sabrina wakes up.

Uh, why am I lying on Mami's bed?

"Sabrina!"

A mess of golden unkempt hair, snot, tears and Mami barrels into Sabrina, making her grunt. Her arms automatically wrap around her friend.

"What..." Sabrina tries to speak up, but is drowned by Mami's sobs.

So she just waits. She holds her friend and waits.

A few minutes later, Mami calms down.

"Mami?" Asks Sabrina. "Are you OK?"

Mami doesn't say anything, but Sabrina can feels her nodding into her shoulder.

"Ah..." hesitates Sabrina, "what happened?"

"You were stuck," answers a soft voice.

Sabrina looks up at Homura, having just walked inside the room.

"Stuck?"

Homura frowns.

It's Mami who answers.

"Y-you were... were a-about to..." she sniffs, "say something b-but you..." her voice hitches, and she can't stop herself from crying some more.

"Shhh..." Sabrina rubs at Mami's back, trying to comfort her.

"You stopped," finishes Homura. Her eyes narrow in... anguish? "Then you tried to speak again. It was like... something was stopping you, and setting you back..." her voice fades.

"Oh..." realization dawns on Sabrina, "I got stuck on a loop? Damn, I thought I had better programming than that."

"W-what?" asks a confused Mami.

Homura's eyes bore into Sabrina's.

"... Wait," Sabrina smiles nervously, "did I say that out loud?"

Mami sniffs.

Homura nods slowly.

"A-are you..." starts Mami.

"I mean!" interrupts Sabrina, "did I really just keep doing that for... however long has passed?"

"T-two days..." whispers Mami.

Homura shakes her head. "You... shut down after a few... loops."

"So I've got some sort of failsafe..." mutters Sabrina, looking down at Mami's head, running her fingers through her scalp. "Weird, though, this didn't happen last few times my decision making completed liked this... the brain damage is real..."

Sabrina slowly looks up, "and I'm saying all this out loud also, ain't I?"

The room is filled only with stony silence.

"I think I broke my though to speech filter," concludes Sabrina.

"Are..." hesitates Mami, immediately biting her lip.

"Yes, Mami?" prods Sabrina.

"... Are you a..." Mami grimaces, "... a robot?"

Sabrina smiles, a hand brushing a lock of Mami's hair behind her ear, "I wish it was that simple..."

Mami's eyes shine with held tears.

"I mean!" backpedals Sabrina, laughing nervously, "I mean, ah... ah-ha... Maybe?"

Mami looks down.

Homura shifts is place.

"Damn," Sabrina sighs, "I guess hooking up once you get better is not on the table anymore, is it? I was really hoping-" Sabrina slaps a hand over her own mouth.

Mami's goes completely still, slightly gaping.

Homura looks away. The ceiling seems very interesting all of a sudden.

Slowly, ever so slowly, Mami's eyes rise to meet Sabrina's.

"It's... o-on the t-table?" she answers... uncertainly.

Sabrina gulps.

A minute passes, blue and golden eyes firmly stuck on each other.

Homura calmly and silently shuffles her way out of the bedroom.

Maybe the reason that Hitomi is acting weird is because of our relationship with Mami. She is the one who was all like "girls can't love girls".

...

Will Hitomi become Feathers to stop female-on female relationships? Have we been ignoring her enough to alienate her? I don't want Sabrina to give up Mami.

Is this the wish that will make her soul gem shine?
