[x] She won't release the wraithsnow, fine. You've no intention to ask her to lose her city. But would she still keep souls trapped in the future, if it truly became no longer necessary?
[x] You're not going to invade her privacy and you don't want to, but you can't think of many ways a girl gets a power like Rionna's.
[x] You want Rionna to stop murdering people, and if any of her shades are suffering you want that stopped.
[x] And if any of her shades are someone she wants to save, or restore... you won't ask questions, and you'll provide all the assistance she could want with that.
[x] Does that deal sound like what she needs?
[X] Remain calm, be patient. You can outlast Riona's stubbornness.
-[X] Alternate pressing main points with other topics.
[X] Offer and get refreshments (without leaving the bubble).
[X] Explain and reaffirm your goals:
-[X] To help Magical Girls, to break the system.
-[X] Your intentions when Wishing.
-[X] People can do horrible things, when forced...
--[X] Your goal isn't to take away Riona's power, but to give her a chance to do better.
[X] Points to press:
-[X] Riona won't achieve her goal by refusing help.
--[X] If this really matters to her, she'll need to make compromises.
-[X] Her shades are actual Souls. What she's doing is inhumane.
--[X] You won't begrudge her keeping voluntarily given Souls.
--[X] You'd gladly help if she wanted to revive them.
--[X] If she wants them for protection, there's alternatives.
-[X] We.
--[X] Can.
--[X] Help.
[X] Other topics:
-[X] What does your Soul look like?
-[X] How do her powers work?
-[X] Wish rejection: describe Oriko's symptoms.
-[X] De-Witching.
--[X] Let Riona examine Aurora.
--[X] Explain your experiments so far.
[X] If you don't explain what you're after, I won't be able to help you. And if I can't solve the problem that forces you to lobotomize and enslave people's souls, then we're going to come to blows one day.
[X] And that's not a fight you have any hope of winning. Your methods make too many enemies too easily, and we can generate the most valuable resource in the world, along with enormous goodwill. You can't stand against the world alone, or even close.
[X] You don't have to decide to give up what you have now. Let us try to get you want you truly want first, and then you can decide.
[x] Okay. Then I guess thats it.
-[x]One thing, do you know anyone else I can contact with soul related abilities? Since you won't help me and I need input on it with my research team.
[X] Show her the Clear Seed. Explain what she's seeing: the sheer capacity, the quiescent nature of the witch, the way it absorbs hope magic.
-[x] And this is just a stopgap measure to keep everyone's gem clean while we create a real solution.
[x] If she wants cleansing and dewitching, then the only way that it's going to be possible is by working with us.
-[x] As she's said, everybody's tried but nobody's been able to... until now.
--[x] And if there's something else she wants, we can make that possible, too. ---[X]No guarantees, obviously, we're powerful not omnipotent, but we can't negotiate when any attempt at finding out what she actually wants is stonewalled with variations of "None of your business/not giving up my power/your soul", the latter of which she has to know isn't going to happen.

--[x] And if there's something else she wants, we can probably make that possible, too.
[x]You said it yourself that you want those things eventually.
[x]Let her get a closer look at the clear seed if she's interested. Explain your current research angle.
