How about asking her to talk to us first too? We do want to warn her and stuff, right?
IIRC, "nee" and its variants mean older sister and "imouto" means younger sister. It's one of the languages that make a distinction between older and younger relatives.
I've not seen Rebellion, but it seems you're right. Here's what Wikipedia says:

While i agree with you that imouto means younger sister, i'm sure that nee-... doesn't really indicate anything about age...
That's very intentional- she's eight/ten (?) so she has no real way of getting in contact with us out of the blue and we can't really justify it out loud in a way that makes sense. Kyubey on the other hand definitely can and would be "ethically" obliged to if a contract comes up.
This is basically a metaphorical alarm in case Kyubey goes after her so we can try and talk her out of it if that happens. Kyubey likely can't really refuse to do it.

Are you sure? 'cause nee- is only said by the younger sibling to an older sister, as far as I've been able to tell.

I've also heard it used otherwise... Never mind, it's not important.
Cue Star Wars parody moment.
Incidentally, asking about Sabrina's name at the hospital is still an unnecessary thing that could happen, if there's a different receptionist on duty at the time- or make a perfect cover story for anything else that needs to happen.

[x]"...Yeah. I'm here. I'll be there in a moment."
[x]We should go. Try and say goodbye to Nagisa and her uncle.
-[x]...What else is there to say?
--[x]Attempt telepathy. If Nagisa sees the cat...she should tell it to talk to us first, okay?
[x]Go and meet the others
-[x]Greet Mami and Homura. Talk to both of them while not mentioning what just happened, then tell them that there don't seem to be any Witches around.
--[x]Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. And it's a good thing in this case, right?
All of my feels.

I'm not sure the telepathy is such a good idea. No real argument against it though.

It's a risk, yes, but we almost certainly want to take the chance to stop Kyubey from contracting her anyway. If it doesn't work, we're fine. I can't see any real harm coming out of the telepathy that isn't much less harmful than a worst-case scenario of us not saying anything.
The question is if we want to ask her to keep it a secret because her reacting to it out loud would be awkward.
Added another safety clause to my vote.

Bit odd for a relative stranger, but since the MC's a "amnesiac" with more holes in their thought process than a cheese grater, and hugs make sense in context...Great suggestion, added.
It explicitly means older sister. Imouto refers to younger sister. Japanese is very good at specificity in such things.
Nee-chan is also used in a less formal sense to refer to people that are like an older sister (in terms of behavior) though. Young children are also prone to using it to refer in general to girls somewhat older than themselves.
In all its uses however it has the sense that the person it refers to is older than the speaker.

Though that reminds me: we probably never want to try sucking grief out of normal people.

Pfft, wuss. From this day forth, all shall fear the name of Sabrina Nolastname, INEXPERT PSYCHOLOGIST!
(I'm fairly confident that we couldn't, in any case).
[Dementor intensifies]
I'm fairly certain we could, given our Wish's wording and the character potential. I'm also fairly certain it could end in horror and an intentional griefspiral after the character sees what happens in a worst case scenario.
Satisfaction
brought it back.
I get the feeling that would effectively be ripping out their souls.

Entanglement pt. 8
"Yeah, I'm here. Where are you?" you respond to Mami.
"We're at block 23," Mami replies.
"Ok, I'll meet you there," you say. Out loud to Shin, you say, "Ah... I have to go now. Meeting some friends."
Nagisa hears this, though, and releases her uncle to charge over to you, grabbing you tightly. "No, don't go!"
"Nagisa, it's OK, she'll come and visit again, won't she?" Shin says, looking at you. He's barely taller than you are, you note.
"Of course I will," you respond, crouching to hug the girl. Addressing the man, you say, a little uncertainly, "Uh... I don't have any way of contacting you."
"Hm. Easily remedied," the business man notes, rooting around in his pocket and pulling out a pen. "Do you have any pap- no, never mind, I have some." He pulls what looks like a receipt out of his pocket and scribbles on the back, before passing it to you. "This is my personal handphone number, as well as my home number; Nagisa will be staying with me for now."
"Alright," you say, taking the receipt and slipping it into your own pocket with one hand. The other remains around Nagisa. Idly, you note that the receipt's from a restaurant, a very upscale one, if the prices are any kind of indication. "Hear that, Nagisa? I'll come and visit sometime."
"Hey... if the cat I mentioned earlier comes around, let me know first, OK?" you try, telepathically.
No visible response to that, but the white haired girl sniffles, hugging you a little tighter. "P-promise?"
"I'll do my best," you say, with a smile. "Now, be brave. I'll see you sometime, alright?"
"A-alright," Nagisa says, trying to smile back.
"Bye, then," you say, releasing her from the hug. Reluctantly, she lets go, too. You nod at Shin, and to your surprise, he bows to you. Not deeply, but enough for you to recognize it as a gesture of respect.
"Farewell, Sabrina," the man says.
You turn and leave the cafeteria, following the signs to the block Mami had mentioned. Along the way, you stop at a washroom to clean up a little; thankfully, the tear and mucus stains are easily washable away, though you look a little damp afterwards.
"Ah, there you are, Sabrina!" you hear Mami call as you round a corner. She's sitting on one of the hospital benches, alongside Homura. Mami looks deeply relieved to see you, and you can see Homura relax very slightly when she spies you.
"Mami, Homura, hello," you say as you walk over to them and sit down. "Sorry, I was at another block. Ah... where's Madoka and Sayaka?"
"Visiting their friend," Mami replies, and then giggles. "And Sayaka's friend, too. He's a boy, as expected."
"Oh?" you grin. "Iiiiiiiinteresting."
Homura sighs almost imperceptibly, and you take that as a cue to change the subject.
"Anyway, Madoka and Sayaka's friend fell down the stairs?" you ask.
"She did, and broke her wrist," Mami says, a small frown appearing on her face. "Quite badly, apparently, she's probably going to be going for surgery, if she's not under already."
"Hm," you grunt, suspicions rising again. It sounds like something Oriko might have Kirika do, but maybe you're just being paranoid? Perhaps you should visit Hitomi later and ask if she remembers something?
"We should go and hunt the Witch now," Homura injects, glancing at the clock. "It won't wait for us forever."
You purse your lips, before replying. "I... Hm. Homura, are you sure the Witch is here? I have a fairly large range in which I can sense Witches, and I can't sense anything like that around here. Admittedly my range doesn't cover the entire hospital, though."
A faint crease appears on Homura's forehead. "I'm sure I sensed it when I was passing by. But it might have moved."
"Maybe we could check the areas Sabrina's range doesn't cover?" Mami suggests tentatively, looking at Homura.
"Agreed," Homura says. The three of you set out, wandering across the hospital grounds to the far end. Little conversation occurs, though you'd say that the tension between Mami and Homura has eased a little. Just a little.
"There," Homura snaps, suddenly, pointing at a derelict building a block away from the hospital proper. It's on the barest edges of your sensing range.
You shrug, and obligingly change directions to head towards the building. It's rundown, and looks completely abandoned. Some of the windows are smashed in, and the paint, such as remains, is peeling off. As you approach it, you do in fact sense the Witch lairing within, the stygian pit of Grief that you've learned to expect.
As you approach the building, you can't help but compare it to the sprawling, opulent expanse of the hospital you'd just left, and wonder vaguely about it. Nevertheless, you soon find yourself in front of the Barrier entrance, with Homura and Mami standing beside you.

[q]Run away from the scary grief black hole of doom.
[x]Telepathy. Has Mami seen Kyubey today?
-[x]If he shows, feed him the grief marble.
[x]Otherwise...
-[x]Cleanse. Acquire grief. Keep the collected grief under very tight control and make sure the marble's as inert as it can get.
[x] Deep breath?
[x] Go in. Try not to vacuum up all the grief on entry this time.
Nagisa's saved! Mostly through Sabrina faceplanting causing a chain of events rather than through intentional action, but it's the thought that counts. That just leaves everyone else in the setting.
The real questions becomes "did Oriko set this up just to arrange a Hitomi hospital visit" and "will this affect her getting kissed by the TV witch later"?
In the short term, let's not find out what happens when we lose control of grief around a Witch barrier. Or go for mass grief draining before we've worked on control or have a good idea of what'd happen. We can start griefbending familiars/obstacles once we're inside but clumping up lots of grief at once without planning...
