[X] If you have to roll over her to get all of this on the table, do it.
[X] Dig.
-[X] Postconditions, not preconditions, and yes, you'd try to prevent unnecessary deaths in the interim.
-[X] What is she doing, anyway, that she can be so sure you wouldn't help with it?
--[X] She's trying to work out "renewable" cleansing with all the dead grief controllers' powers, obviously. She said as much.
--[X] You figure she's working on dewitching in some capacity. If not, she's at least dabbled in it.
---[X] Both of those are fairly high on your priority list. Her methods are both evil and severely hampered by working alone, but you're rather hoping to resolve both of those issues peacefully.
[X] Offer a cleanse.
[x] Yes, her power freaks us out. That doesn't mean we won't help her. We've seen girls do a lot of terrible things to survive, and we didn't turn our backs on them either.
[x] Try to address whatever concerns she puts forth:
-[x] If she doesn't believe that we'd help her because of our judgmental attitude, explain that we want to help everyone, even girls who've had to make hard choices to survive. Even witches.
-[x] If she doesn't believe that we'd help her out of the goodness of our heart, offer an exchange, because we want her help, too. Ever since Nadia told us there was a girl with soul powers, we've been hoping to meet her.
-[x] If she seem reluctant to share her secret with us, offer her a secret of ours as a show of good faith.
-[x] If she doubts our ability to help, say that it's far from the most ambitious challenge we're tackling.
[x] Use whichever response as a segue to bring dewitching and/or our desire to replicate and distribute our powers to provide universal cleansing. Gauge her interest in each and go into detail as appropriate:
-[x] If dewitching: show her the Clear Seed. Explain it in detail: the sheer quantity of grief removed, the quiescent nature of the witch inside, the feeding of hope-flavored magic.
-[x] If universal cleansing, show her the Clear Seed and explain its capacity, but that it's only a temporary measure (since eventually we want to turn them back into people). Explain that we want to create a renewable alternative for Grief Seeds that we can distribute to every girl on Earth, but we're still a novice at enchanting.
[x] We think she can help us and we can help her. Please. Let us help her.
[x] I hate what you've done. But I'm banking on you not having to do it anymore once I've helped you.
[x] And I could really use your help with figuring out how to reverse witching.
[X] You're not lying. You'd expect her to try doing betterafter her problem is solved. Doesn't she want to?
-[X] And yes, you'd try to prevent unnecessary deaths in the interim.
[X] Bring up de-witching, in whatever manner fits the conversation best. Potentially:
-[X] As an example of the scale and "insanity" level of projects you're willing to take on.
-[X] As something that falls within Rionna's specialty, and that we were hoping to barter for her assistance with.
-[X] As a show of trust, a secret we're telling her so she can tell us one in return.
[X] If Rionna doesn't open up, and voting has not yet been cut to, carefully push Rionna to explain what exactly she needs our power for, that we ourselves can't assist in.
[X] Yeah, you despise it. But you also get the impression that she wouldn't be doing it if she didn't have to.
[X] Your guess, based on what she's said, is that she's working on renewable cleansing, or Dewitching, or something closely related to that.
-[X] And those are things you've been working on a lot too. Because you can't be everywhere, and no-one deserves to be turned into a Witch. No-one.
-[X] Show her a Clear Seed. Let her examine it - even hold it - and tell her it's your first step towards those goals. It's not nearly enough, because it still uses someone's soul to cleanse another's.
[X] The fact is, you need help with this. And you're willing to bet her problem - whatever it is - can't be solved alone, either.
[X] Offer a cleanse.
[X] Sabrina helps everyone, even witches. De-witching research happening. We don't send them to Kyuubey already. Rionna isn't worse than a witch? We will help her.
[X] Before Rionna decides her end, explore the truth we are saying. Proof exists.
[X] Rionna must have used countless powers already. Another Shade can't help her.
-[X] What she needs is someone to cast the magic along with her, isn't it?
[X] The only way to move forward when one has done everything they could do is to do things differently than ever before. Sabrina is the person who acts in the way that won't hurt Rionna. Who else has helped with her problem?
[X] People don't do horrible things without reason. Force is almost always less effective than addressing the underlying problem, answering the reason..
[X] Anri is our example of morality, tell the story
