Thank you everyone for the welcome and the second chance. This is a great birthday present. I will do use my best to do better this time.
 
So, here's my thoughts.

Sayaka beat this witch, and so the grief seed from it is hers. We're going to be dropping some things that make her trust us less soon, and feeling indebted to us for constant cleansing will lead to bad blood. As such, I propose that we:

• Have her cleanse her soul gem with the seed she earned.
• Ask her permission to empty it of grief so it can be used more times.
• With her permission, make her a clear seed to use.

That way she has a way to safely cleanse fucktons of grief without our presence, and because it's a seed she 'earned', she won't have nearly the feelings of uselessness that relying on us might cause. We should try and downplay how much of a favor a clear seed is, too - if it seems like too big a deal, Sayaka might not accept it because of her debt repayment thing.

[X] Once the Barrier is gone and the seed is obtained, compliment Mami and Sayaka. Good job! Also, high-fives.
[X] Give Sayaka the Seed - she's earned it.
-[X] Propose she uses it to cleanse, just so she knows how that works.
--[X] And get the Witch's name.
[X] Once she's cleansed with it, ask her for permission to remove some of the grief from it, so it can be used for longer.
-[X] With her permission, turn it into a clear seed. Try and downplay the importance, if you can. Maybe hum Zelda 'item acquired' music or something to raise the mood.
[X] Head to the hospital.
-[X] Along the way, debrief: What went right, what went wrong? What could we, and especially Sayaka, have done better? Get her used to thinking about and analyzing a fight, to strategy and tactics.
-[X] Also, ask if she's inviting Kwijibo for tomorrow.

Maybe we should make Sayaka promise to not go into a fight alone; she doesn't have the super healing to make up for all the hits she wouldn've taken without Mami's and Sabrina's help.

I like the general idea behind this. Sayaka hates feeling like she owes people and it's one of the biggest things that causes her witchout.

Yes, exactly. I think a one-time cleansing of a seed she 'earned' will go over much better with her than having to rely on us for individual cleanses every time. The issue is how to downplay cleansing the seed, because making it seem like a huge deal just exacerbates her issues.

Well, it is something we hope every meguca would have (access to) at some point, isn't it? We've kind of asked Sayaka to help us with this kind of thing.

"So Sayaka, you can be an AD." :V
 
Interesting witch concept. A witch that is actively hunting her familiars. I think it's the first time I've seen that.

I think Sayaka did pretty good for her first time fighting a witch, but she's too reckless and too aggressive. If we and Mami hadn't intervened she could have been seriously hurt or might even have died.
 
That's what the debriefing is for, to improve on her way of fighting.

[q] Keep your head in the game, Sayaka. Recklessly rushing the enemy doesn't usually go well.

That's... probably the right approach, actually. If we frame it like letting us clear her seed is her doing us a favor, it solves a lot of issues.

[X] Have Sayaka take the Seed - she's earned it.
-[X] Propose she uses it to cleanse, just so she knows how that works.
--[X] And get the Witch's name.
[X] Once she's cleansed with it, ask her for a favor. You'd like to do some more tests on what happens to grief seeds once you remove some of the grief from them. Ask for her permission to do so.
-[X] With her permission, turn it into a clear seed. Try and downplay the importance, if you can. Give her a rundown of the issues you've learned so far about clear seeds.
[X] Head to the hospital.

... And Nagisa the only one to not know about magic.

-[X] While the Barrier dissolves play the Final Fantasy Victory Tune
-[X] Hail Dame Miki! Butcher of Bunnies, Slayer of Spiders!
-[X] And get the Witch's name.

[X] Give Sayaka the Seed after upgrading it to a clear seed - she's earned it.
