[X] Standing:
-[X] Tone: empathetic, soft; care to not drive Homura to close herself off.
-[X] Continuous cleanse.
-[X] If at any point you feel it's correct to do so, give Homura time to compose herself.
-[X] If at any point Homura asserts that regardless of what Madoka feels, she has hurt Madoka, break -- that is indicative that the intended point has been made.
-[X] Try to avoid saying anything like "Madoka dreams about you fighting Walpurgisnacht." It's not relevant to the point you're trying to make.
[X] Madoka's conscious doesn't get fully erased when Homura loops. Enough is carried back for her to judge Homura's actions. The judgement so far has been that Homura is good friend with her best interests at heart. Delivery: swift, serious, as one statement. Get to the "good friend" part quickly to avoid giving Homura nightmares. (Main point: Madoka endorses Homura's actions despite being capable of condemning them instead)
-[X] Provide evidence for the previous line by explaining that the dreams have changed over the course of the loops and that Madoka gets information from previous loops in other ways also (gut instincts etc). (Main point: you're not bullshitting with the previous line. This is verifiable evidence that Madoka gets information from previous loops.)
-[X] If Madoka wanted to give up or felt like she was being hurt by Homura's actions, the information from the previous loops would've reinforced that until Madoka gave up or rejected Homura. (Main point: explanation at length + in detail that Madoka really would react differently than she is/has if she felt that she was being hurt by the loops)
--[X] Instead, the biggest thing being reinforced is Madoka's trust of Homura. (Main point: Madoka has decided + is continuing to decide that Homura is acting in her best interest)
[x] Respect Homura. Don't push, be empathic, give her time/cleansing as needed, etc.
[x] Madoka dreams of Homura... as her hero. The impressions and instincts she picks up from the dreams drive her to trust Homura and get closer to her, not the opposite.
-[x] Madoka doesn't think Homura is a failure, and she doesn't think of Homura as a source of pain to be avoided. Insofar as she knows about Homura's mission, she approves of it.
--[x] Provide evidence and examples to support this if Homura asks for them - there's plenty to pick from.
[x] If Homura questions Madoka's judgement:
--[x] You think Madoka's right to trust in her. Without Homura, none of what's happening now would be possible. Madoka, Mami, Sayaka, Mitakihara itself, it would all be gone for good. The only reason that all of you can fight for a better future - the only reason Sabrina even exists! - is because Homura never quit. You owe everything to her.
[X] Keep being empathyBrina.
-[x] Take care to keep Homura open and communicating.
-[x] Take your time, give Homura however long she needs.
[x] Long-term goal: Help Homura believe that the loops weren't failures. In particular:
-[x] Progress was being made on "not being tricked" with every loop, and her Wish last loop was sufficiently well informed.
-[x] Madoka was better off with Homura there, even if Homura wasn't perfectly successful immediately.
[x] Start with your conclusions to help get Homura back on an even keel:
-[x] Madoka's dreams tell her to trust Homura. This means that she thinks Homura has been doing the right thing and that she's working with Homura.
-[x] Madoka was learning with every loop. Homura's perseverance and protection are how she could make a Wish without being tricked.
[x] Supporting evidence, use as appropriate:
-[x] Examples demonstrating Madoka's dreams. You're pretty sure she's asked if they've met before, for example.
-[x] Madoka's trust in Homura isn't her usual general niceness. You think you've seen her unconsciously turning to Homura the same way she does to you.
-[x] If Madoka was being hurt by her memories she'd be behaving completely differently. She's not as strong as Homura is, she'd have given up or worse.
-[x] Madoka could have bad-ended the loops if she'd been tricked into a particularly bad Wish.
-[X] Break to voting if any point needs more detail, or if Homura seems troubled. Don't be pushy.
-[X] Relax. Comment:
--[X] Homura's hair and higher dimensions.
--[X] Raiding Yakuza for (4D) pocket money.
[X] O&K.
-[X] Probably a 'random' apartment.
-[X] You don't know the Kure adults. Could be a bad idea.
[X] Everyone.
-[X] Explain your discomfort when dropping heavy topics. Ask if there's anything you can do to make it less stressful?
-[X] Offer to watch the spar video.
[X] Put in an order for the tracking devices.
[X] If there's time, practice enchantment:
-[X] Try using Control Magic...
--[X] On Grief.
--[X] To shape something into a Pocket Brina.
