[x] Let Homura tell it her way
-[X] Give her whatever support she needs to be able to tell it HER way. Support her unreservedly, help her get through the rough bits, deploy whatever hugs are necessary. Being able to share this should help her a lot.
-[X] If Homura chooses to make herself out to be worse than you know she is at points, use subtlety to communicate to Mami that you don't agree with it while not interrupting the story.
[X] When Homura is done: pause slightly to let Mami ask questions / think before it's your turn to relate things, then break.

[X] Tell more about yourself when she's finished:
-[X] This is why you talked about maybe not having a past: You're reasonably sure you were created as a result of Homura and Madoka, much less so the specifics. You have... several different ideas of how someone like you could be made, some nice, some harrowing. It's something you need to look into.
-[X] You have far far more than that keeping you here now, (hold Mami's hand for emphasis).

--[X] This is why you talked about maybe not having a past: You're reasonably sure you were created as a result of Homura and Madoka, much less so the specifics. You have... several different ideas of how someone like you could be made, some nice, some harrowing. It's something you need to look into. --[x] You'd like to talk to Mami more if and when she's comfortable with that, and its mostly more context to what you said about having a purpose last night, but the second most important thing is the same as you said then: That while these things are part of you, they aren't what complete you. (Hold Mami's hand for emphasis.) --[x] The single most important thing is that you can now ask Mami if she wants to do a "permission to date your daughter skit" whenever it is that we finally come clean to Mado-kaa-san.
[X] Addition to vote in abeyance:
-[X] Ask Mami what her homework situation is like tonight while you work.
[x] Let Homura tell it her way -[X] Don't interrupt unless she asks you to provide details. -[X] If When she gets overwhelmed, Hug the Homu. [X] When she's finished -[X] Explain that you knew her story, same as you do Madoka's, Mami's and Sayaka's. Because it's their story, and now it's yours, too. You are here to help.
[x] Let Homura tell it her way - [X] "So yeah we're maybe sort of the result of a wish. But we don't know much of the details or implications beyond that. It is how we knew everyone though."
[X] Immediately upon timestop, ask Homura to let you pre-amble. Establish some setting - facts about Souls, and why our metaknowledge lets us call Homura and Madoka our moms. It is meant to regulate Mami's rumination. [x] Let Homura tell it her way
-[X] Support, using non-verbal cues when possible. Teach Mami the "listen - listen more - autocomplete - ask" formula if needed. Improve her Homurese, using our bond.
-[X] If needed, keep Homura's momentum with her in the rough moments.
-[X] Mami has tons of empathy, and Homura has tons of backstory. Moderate the reaction, so Homura can get all the way through it.
-[X] When Homura is done: let Mami ask questions, let things sink in, etcetera.
-[X] If, at the end it hasn't come up, mention how much influence Mami has over her heroic kouhai.
[X] Tell more about yourself when she's finished. Then break.
