[X] Cleanse as needed.
[X] Homura has kettle of boiling water in her inventory, tea would be nice -- tea-timestop?
-[X] You're going to start making Homura proper food to put into her inventory, for herself and for others.
[X] Continue to be thorough and patient. With infinite cleansing, you've given Homura time to process and relax.
[X] About Homura
-[X] We're friends and partners in this. Mami is your-- well, yours, but Homura is your best friend.
--[X] Addressing Homura's self-esteem issues regarding our successes compared to her failures: having an additional perspective helps. To that end, you're going to start fully detailing other things like that to Homura in the future, so that you can get her perspective.
--[X] Information asymmetries: There are things your metaknowledge covers that Homura doesn't know, and things that Homura knows that you don't, information that can be vital.
---[X] For example, you've been investigating soul gems and grief seeds, but while you know that a soul gem can move between loops, you don't know if a grief seed can -- a difference or a similarity can be important to know.
--[X] Improved coordination: Too often you've just improvised, when you know Homura prefers planning. Indicate willingness to plan contingencies. Multitasking, hammerspace (Homura's inventory is hammertime?), timestop, grief(hax) all allow for extensive planning and safe documentation.
---[X] Arrange for non-telepathic signal for time-stop in case of tense situations -- you'll could use grief to take hold of her right hand?
[X] For now though, next topic: Sayaka. It's good news. Complex, but good.
-[X] Bring up Sayaka figuring out Homura caring specifically about Madoka, as well as her trusting Homura. Explain what you told Sayaka.
-[X] "Sayaka always is insightful about the weirdest stuff." Bring up her 'past life' joke from Homura's first day at school this/last loop.
-[X] This is a good thing here and now. Sayaka trusts you and Homura, knows that you know what's going on, and trusts both of you to have Madoka's best interests at heart. More than that, she's willing to help us keep Madoka well out of harms way.
-[X] Expand upon your explanation of Sayaka from this morning -- most of Sayaka's weaknesses normally become strengths when she decides to trust someone, when the cruelty of the Incubator's system is held at bay.
--[X] This is likely why Kyuubey keeps magic a secret, deliberately shaping events and his pitch to make it seem like a magical girl anime, because it's encouraging traits that lead to witch-outs.
---[X] Explain Kyuubey's reasons for wanting to turn magical girls into witches. This was the thing that Homura didn't know, so she couldn't explain Kyuubey's motives for being horrible.
-[X] Bring up how you're going about witchbombing Sayaka, how you can give her the motive for Kyuubey being so horrible. Point out her improved thoughtfulness this time around. If Sayaka decides to learn, it will give her even more reason to trust Homura's judgement -- she was trying to save them from a horrible fate, after all.
[X] Remain in timestop to continue conversation onto other topics.

They're important for being able to predict the Incubator's actions. ----[X] In the long run, you're either going to have to "pay the incubators off" to stop them from hounding you to "regain their lost energy" from stopping witchouts, you're going to have to strong-arm a multi-galactic civilization, or both.
--[X] Improved coordination: Too often you've just improvised, when you know Homura prefers planning. Indicate willingness to plan contingencies. ---[X] Specifically, once you've arranged for the key allies Homura suggested, you'd like to start working on detailed plans for Walpurgisnacht.
