[X] You're starting to think you want to help her with this. Why can't you?
[X] Incorporate the following lines into conversation as reasonable. If no line makes sense in a situation, break to voting:
-[X] You wouldn't put any preconditions on anything. If you succeed at helping her, then you'd expect things -- she wouldn't need to secure her city with a shade army, after all.
-[X] Our morality doesn't preclude working with people who have done horrible things, and it would be stupid to not recognize that refusals to de-escalate are often based on valid premises.
-[X] If she displays concern about knowledge of what she's dealing with getting out, then fair warning, we're pretty sure we have the vast majority of the picture worked out already.
-[X] If she tries to assert that we don't have the capability to help her, refute her. In the end, if we couldn't help her, she'd've had no interest in the clear seed.
-[X] If at any point it's reasonable, see if you can slip in that you're interested in dewitching. But, don't try to stretch things to achieve that.
[X] If she makes to leave: break to voting.
[x] Think out loud.
[x] Why do you think that Rionna is so sure you can't help? You have two guesses.
[x] First guess: Rionna has some problem that's even more exotic and difficult than cleansing.
-[x] She seems to already have cleansing solved for herself, judging by her power's ongoing cost. She knows you can cleanse and isn't interested.
-[x] You hope it's this because you're currently working on dewitching and were anticipating Rionna's arrival. You're not sure there's much that's harder than that.
[x] Second guess: Rionna is doing something that puts her on Sabrina's List of Things To Fix.
-[x] Is the problem with the means to an end or the end itself?
-[x] You hope it's the means, because your entire purpose in life is to fix everything, and you're damn good at offering people better means.
-[x] If it's the ends, well, you're always up for therapy. How does she feel about her mother?
[x] I want to help fix things. Does it have to be a fight? [x] Whatever it is you're dealing with, it was worth coming out all this way here. At the very least I can hear you out. Rionna, why did you come out here? What's troubling you? [x] (If she's still reluctant) Try to encourage her to talk about her problems. You won't be able to help at all if you don't know what the problem is.
[x] Why do we have to fight? She wants something. So do we. We can work together.
[x] Show her Aurora. Properly explain the Clear Seed: the sheer amount of Grief removed, the quiescent nature of the witch inside, that you'd been feeding it hope magic.
-[x] This might be the first step to turning a witch back into a person. We want to do that and we think she can help us.
[x] One of the first things you said was that I can't exactly give you my magic.
- [x] What did you want it for? What would you expect to be able to do with it that you assume I can't or won't do for you?
[x] Mention something about dewitching. Maybe it's what she wants from us, maybe it's not, but it's certainly what we want from her.
[X] Tell Rionna that we want to make a soul gem. We need her soul vision.
[X] Tell her we will get to fabricate a body. Grief doesn't form a normal Magical Girl. Others tried it.
[X] State that saving everybody is our goal.
[X] Turning witches back into girls is important to us.
[X] Explain we understand perfectly what Magical Girl life leads her to do, even though we are new.
[X] If any of that would help with her issue, it's time that she gave us the answers we want.
[X] We can almost communicate with witches.
[X] Feed Happiness to a Clear Seed right now, in front of her.
[x] "Right. Rionna. I haven't actually told my offer yet, have I?"
-[x] "Show me a grief seed, and I can make it last for a lifetime. Would that be the help you were looking for?"
[X]'You're right I don't want a fight with you, but if you ever change your mind about accepting my help, you know how to get in touch.'
[X]'Before you leave, could you examine this clear seed with your soul sense? I've been really needing a qualified second opinion on these.'
-[X]Listen to what she says.
--[X]Explain what you know. 'To my senses, this seed feels.... calm, peaceful. Do you think this could be a step toward reversing the soul gem's metamorphosis?'
---[X]Listen to response and break for voting.
