More valid criticism, but why?I don't believe that when it gets translated into social by firn it's going to go well at all.

... I dunno, I rated it funny because I laughed when I read it. I try to make that my funny-giving policy.
I'm not answering this because I don't support dropping a confession in this context. It's manipulative and would sour the emotion.
[]Because I wanted to join the wonderful person I saw in my memories!
[]The person I saw was amazing and I could not pass up the chance to help her!
[]But I also didn't want her to leave me or be hurt, so I stayed quiet, because I was a coward who procrastinated out of fear
[]But I know you deserve the truth, so please let me come clean and make this right
[]I never wanted to hurt you
...
Pudding.
Anyway. My vote.
[X] Calm Down
[X] "Mami, Listen."
[X] once she starts to listen
[X] "Look. Whatever you want to do right now, I understand. Believe me. But I think you'll want to have heard me out later, and you'll kick yourself if you just run out right now, or do something more drastic, like let your soul gem darken. If you don't trust me to purify it then fine, just get a seed and promise me that you won't die on me just because I couldn't keep my mouth shut. Please? I don't need a coffin on my conscience right now."
[X] "I don't want to leave you. I don't want you to leave me. You're my best friend Mami. Homura, Sayaka, Madoka... I really really like them all, but none of them are my Best Friend."
[X]"I don't know where I got this... Metaknowledge, I guess. But it doesn't matter. It's not real memory. My real memory, the one that tells me it was Mami Tomoe who took me in when I was homeless. My real memory that tells me that Mami Tomoe is the girl who's most important to me in the whole world right now! I know you've been burned before, I saw it happen I know it from the things I have no right to know before, but it was my real memory, my true knowledge, my friendship with you that made me want to make sure it never, ever happened again!... But I guess I fucked that up too."
[X]"I... I don't want our friendship to be founded on lies and manipulation. I don't want to be another Kyuubey in your life. I want to be your friend. I want to be as faithful, and trusting, and honest, and warm and kind and motherly and strong and just and pretty as you are! I know I suck at all the social stuff, and I've got an Emiya Shirou Complex the size of the milky way, and I-I've been keeping secrets from you... But I wanted you to be happy... And, maybe if I'm honest, I was even more scared. I was scared you would hate me, o-or would think I'm crazy."
[X]"I'm... Done talking now. If you want to kick me put, then that's O-oka... Then that's fine. I totally get it. I'll go stay with... Maybe with Homura or Madoka. Maybe get my own place. But I wanted you to know the truth, even if I never got to finish. I wanted to at least try to do the right thing. I know that's what you would do. I'm sorry for lying for this long. W-Will you give me a chance to stop?"
1. The first two lines are... overdramatic is an understatement, I think. And dramatics in response to that "Why?"
We should be able to sort through this by just putting it in a Q/A format and arguing over the answers, right?
If we put this in Q/A format, then...
"Why did you hide things from me and/or manipulate me?"
[] Originally, because Kyubey couldn't know. You were my friend, and it hurt keeping things from you. But I had no choice.
"And later on?"
[] I have considered you a friend since the moment we met, Mami. But you became more. When Kyubey left -- maybe I should have told you then. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. I knew it would hurt you, and I couldn't stand it.
-[] Eventually, that was why I told you, also. I want to stay with you, Mami. And from the moment that I recognized that, I've known that I would have to tell you. How could I stay with you without telling you?
OR "Why couldn't Kyubey know?" {well, there's only one answer to that...}
Like... for all that we keep arguing over votes, in the end, we could just let Mami keep asking questions and constantly give her truthful answers to them.
That'd be great, but we need to get her into a state where she's willing to do that.
That might actually work...I'd argue that if we replied to the question we just asked with "Because Kyubey couldn't know" she's at least 99.5% likely to do something other than harming us or leaving.
Excuse my dumbness, but what does this part means?
If it was the witchbomb we could use the memetic hazard analogy here. Unfortunately it's just the metabomb.
Yeah in hindsight that was silly of me. Though does memetic hazard seem accurate enough to not be deceptive here if Mami asks us if we have any other secrets as suitable forewarning?
