More seriously, yes, that's a risk.inb4 Kazuza didn't pick up because she was in the shower
I think that we wouldn't go busting straight in. There's a reason I specified "sensor arrays" and such; if we did find her, we'd preface an entry with some scanning, starting with quantity of grief contained in soul gem.

No hand holding? No finger intertwining?
Not even fingertips touching!?
NOT EVEN HIGH FIVES?!
Why are you so cruel, cat.

Clearly catgirl has different cultural norms, nya. Hand-holding is love, not lewd!

How does that work? How can hand holding be romantic when you got claws in your hands?
[Q] After you talk with Kazusa, sit down.
-[Q] Tell everyone about team composition problem.
-[Q] Be PensiveBrina.
-[Q] Absentmindedly put Grief cat ears on yoursef.
-[Q] Think very, very carefully.
-[Q] After a few minutes of deep thought about Mami, ask everyone what they think about team composition problem.

Hand-holding is romantic, extending claws while reaching for someone's hand is how you play the murderer in that handshake game at summer camp. Nya~

What if... we tell Homu that, if she gives O&K a chance...
...
... We'll get Madoka to hold hands with her?!
Would that work? Would Homu pass up such a chance? Could we manage to get Madoka to perform such an act?
(BTW, we're gonna need to talk about Oriko's arm with Homu at some point. It's really not stopping Oriko from doing anything bad. I doubt Homu gets off Oriko's suffering, so she might be deluding herself for our sake ever since we argued that Oriko was actually being impaired by the lack of arm.)

Kirika can slowly proselytize the use of pants. She'll be the "safe" introduction to the idea; after all, it's not like Kirika's uniform is really all that pants-ey:
Those shorts are so high-cut they're almost a thong. It'll be something less radical for the no-pants-ers to get used to, after Sabrina shocks them with an actually sensible uniform.
Thinking of what exactly? I didn't make the connection between the Incubator name and the Witchbomb until it was explained in this thread; it's not nearly as much an A->B as you're implying. In fact, given how Mami knows already that Kyubey is willingly taking Sabrina's solidified Grief, it's actually more likely that PMAS-Mami will make the connection that the Incubator name implies that they are trying to incubate more Grief, not necessarily Witches.
Heck, that might actually be the case; the Incubators likely don't care about the Seeds themselves so much as the fact that each one contains a gigantic load of Grief. If that's the case then the Sabrina drain method is actually superior, since they get the Grief without having to sacrifice the meguca who go about generating a literally unlimited amount of it.

Btw, are we still gonna ask Homura about a better description of Kuroki's stealth powers?

A Red Letter Day pt. 23.5
You suck in a breath, turning that over. You're all but certain that that's not the be-all or end-all of Airi's powers. Frankly, you know she has more capabilities than that.
Though it does seem like Oriko saw a future where you don't intervene until much later and things have... degenerated considerably. Which is unfortunate, but hopefully means you have a chance of stepping in now to prevent things from ballooning.
Thoughts and plans start crystallising in your head, but before you can do anything, you need information.
"OK, OK," you say, rubbing your face. "Uh, right. First. Thank you very much, Oriko. Second, did you see Hijiri 'connecting' with the powers of any magical girls not from the Pleiades?"
Oriko frowns in perplexity. "I'm not sure I understand the question."
"Right," you say. "Sorry. Hijiri Kanna's powers, to my knowledge, are to 'connect' to magical girls, effectively copying their powers in such a way that she can synthesize them together. It's an utterly broken power with what she has available to her. It'd be worse if she can copy other people's powers."
Homura's expression goes utterly flat as she soaks in that tidbit.
"I see," Oriko says. "I'm afraid that I cannot give you a definitive answer, but no, not as far as I remember."
"Right," you say, thinking hard. "Uhh. Hm. OK, uh - Mami?" You turn to her, smiling warmly. "Would you be willing to help me contact Kazusa? I completely understand if you don't want to, and... it's alright to say no."
Mami swallows, meeting your eyes. She visibly steels herself, and nods. "I would," she says, managing a weak smile.
"Thank you, Mami," you say, giving her a smile and pulling her into a proper hug. You hold her for a few moments before separating to find that Kirika had apparently taken opportunity of the lull to migrate onto Oriko's lap.
The black haired girl winks at you.
"... right," you say. "Uh, Oriko, Kirika, while we do that, can I ask you to help me look up recent news of bomb threats in Asunaro?"
Kirika's face twists into an almost comical mask of confusion. "Uh, sure?"
"As far as I know, bomb threats are... kind of how the events really, ah, kick off in Asunaro," you explain.
"Ahhhh," Kirika says, bobbing her head with a look of wise comprehension. She looks to Oriko.
"Please," she says with a smile.
Homura relaxes a tiny fraction as Kirika hops to her feet, bouncing out of your little privacy field and disappearing upstairs. Her hand doesn't stray far from the rim of her shield, however. It hasn't moved from there throughout the entire conversation.
... small steps. It's not open hostility.
"Righty," you say, pushing yourself to your feet. Mami's arm slides limply off your waist, and she makes a tiny, protesting noise. You smile at her, grabbing your little Grief construct by the pedestal. "I'm going nowhere - just moving this."
You move the construct off to the side of the room, so that the sofa's out of range of the bubble, and then you retreat to the sofa to draw Mami into a hug. She clings to you, tucking herself under your arm and nestling close.
"Nope!" Kirika's voice yells from somewhere upstairs, preceding the black haired girl wandering downstairs with one arm cradling a laptop. "Got nothing on bomb threats."
"Kirika," Oriko chides gently. Kirika flushes, ducking her head as she hurries back to Oriko's side, plopping the laptop down on the table.
"Alright, excellent," you say. "Mami? Could you contact Kazusa? And include everyone?"
She swallows, visibly steeling herself.
"Hello? Miss Kazusa?" You can feel the connection going out, Homura, Oriko, and Kirika all listening in.
The response comes after a minute. "... Miss Tomoe?!" a bright, disbelievingly happy voice responds.
"Yes," she says, voice steady despite the tremor you can feel in her body. "I have- a friend who wants to talk to you."
"Never mind that, how are you?" Kazusa says. "I haven't heard from you in forever!"
Mami makes a quiet, broken noise and looks up at you. There's elation on her face, mingled with simple, open loss. She opens her mouth, as if to say something, but words fail her, and she shrinks against your side.

You can do it Mami. Senpai the shit out of her. Sabrina will be there to support you.
Edit:
That Kazusa is still alive, happy to hear from Mami and doesn't appear to be in any sort of immediate danger are all good signs, that the serious bullshit hasn't started yet.

Honestly I say let them catch up for awhile, but is that even a viable option right now?

I don't think we really have time for "sappy and inspirational". The other girl is expecting a reply, so even taking more than a few seconds to say something to Mami before she can respond will make things awkward.
Just a quick telepathic (just to Mami) encouragement alongside hugs. Though we can do more if she seems to continue struggling.
