[x] Let it be, there's no need. Let her be comfortable.
[x] Continue talking.
[x] I was hoping we could be friends. I didn't mean to surprise you, back on the roof top. Sorry.
-[x] You dropped your grief seed back on the roof. I wanted to give it back to you. (Offer the seed)
[x] Ariane? By any chance were you approached by Mister Kyubey?
-[x] Describe him if Ariane isn't sure what you're talking about.
--[x] If yes: Ask Ariane how much she was told about magical girls and witches.
--[x] If no: Ask her if she was given something called a soul gem.
"T-there's no need to that," you hastily stammer out, not wanting to bother her with things like that, "if it makes you comfortable, let it be like that. I-I don't mind, really..."
"Oh. I guess I will keep them closed then." She says, a hint of relief in her soft voice. Perhaps she is yet afraid of you for the tiniest of bits. Afraid of what she might see behind the curtains covering her. The thought makes you cringe, you don't want anyone to be scared of you. It is better if everyone were friends. In fact...
"S-say, I was hoping we could be friends?" You lean back on the armchair, staring to the high and bare roof. "I-I didn't mean to surprise you, back on the rooftop. I'm sorry..." You let your apology draw out, flinching at the re-emerging memories of the incident. That could have gone a lot better.
You don't get to dwell on it long, however, as Ariane hastily interjects "It is okay if you didn't mean it." She takes a small pause, before wondering out loud "I guess you're not a nightmare then? They don't usually want to be friends..."
Err, sure, you can live with that... But the topic does bring the picked up grief seed back to your mind. You were planning on giving it back, and now seems to be as good time as any to actually do it.
You pick up the small trinket and hesitantly bring it up with the other girl. "You dropped this grief seed on the roof... I-I wanted to give it back to you, should you accept it from me."
She hesitates for a moment, "I... If you really want to return it, I guess?" That's a yes to you, so you push the grief seed partly through the curtains. They feel quite heavy, but you can feel a petite hand wrap around yours and cup the grief seed inside.
"I... thank you, Tamiko..." The seed leaves your hand as Ariane accepts it back. She sounds grateful, "About what you asked earlier, about being friends. It sounds so nice, I don't really get visitors here after all."
It takes a considerable effort on your part to not jump up from the armchair and squee in joy. New friend: get! Well, a strange ghost girl who somehow can turn into a monster and swing a big sword around in an effort to slice you up... But it is still a new friend!
However, you force yourself to stay calm and simply let a smile settle on your face. And squee into your hands. But only a little! there is no need to wake up other possible occupants of the house...
The mention of visitors does bring your attention to another thing, though. You are fairly sure Ariane is also a Magical Girl, and thus she must have been visited by Mr. Kyubey. Yet, she doesn't seem to have much of an idea how this works.
"Ariane? B-by any chance were you approached by Mr. Kyubey?" It seems a bit weird of him to leave someone in the dark about things. And you don't mean the lack of light in the room...
"Oh, you must be talking about Mr. Fluffies?" What. "Yes, he came to see me shortly after I moved here. Why do you ask?" she says to you in a delighted voice.
Well, the strange nickname aside that more or less confirms it. She is almost certainly a Magical Girl, so you think you can ask about this safely "H-how much did he tell you about Magical Girls and witches?"
You can hear Ariane mumble something as she tries to remember something. "I... think he may have told me something about that? But I was mostly focused on the wish he said he could give... So I made wish, and have been seeing these dreams ever since."
The other girl takes a moment to catch her before continuing "But they haven't been this real before... I thought it didn't work... But with you here now?" On the other side of the curtains you can hear her fall back on the bed. "Say, Tamiko, from one friend to another, do you think I could finally go outside without it hurting?"
What do you do?

"I... thank you, Tamiko... I accept" The seed leaves your hand as Ariane takes it back. She sounds grateful, "I guess that makes us husband and wife then? Or is that wife and wife..."
Wait what. "W-wait what!?" You an almost see the girl nod sagely behind the curtains. "Isn't it customary to propose to someone with a piece of jewelry? And I accept your proposal. Simple, don't you think?"
You are practically pulling your hair in frustration. "I-I-I-I.... Guuuuhhhh.... No, I'm not proposing to you, I'm not in a relationship with my friends either, nor am I trying to build a harem!"
A heavy silence falls to the room, as you clamp your mouth shut with your hands. You didn't mean to say that out loud... "Harem, huh? Why didn't you say so immediately, I'd love to meet new friends!"
She also has the nerve to sound pleasantly surprised about this! Dammit, why can't you catch a break... You slink back on the armchair, cursing your evil uncle who is most definitely behind this somehow... You don't know how, but you are still blaming him for this!!!

I'm intensely confused about her not wanting to hurt more. Does she have pyrophoria? (however that's spelled) You know the sensitivity to light?
Had to, because MGS is a classic.
In any case have a proto-vote
[] As long as she thinks it will be okay?
-[] she doesn't have a condition where it would hurt her right?
[] If no then...go outside with her
Haha, we'll be watching the sunrise with someone we met like...5 minutes ago. Man, Kishi is gonna flip.
Niiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeecccccccceeeeeee!!!!

There are many varieties of porphyria. It's a genetic disease that affects the blood. Sensitivity to light is a symptom of many, but not all varieties.
Technically ghost girl can use magic to heal her disorder, but we don't necessarily know that.

Why would something like that simple hurt? It sounds strange, but it seems that there is more to Ariane living in a dark house like this than just a weird choice of aesthetics. However, to you it also looks like she isn't entirely happy with it. Why would going outside hurt her, you have no idea...
Regardless, you doubt there is any real problem with that, "M-maybe? I-I mean, if you wished for it... I'm sure Mr. Kyubey granted it!" you exclaim with utmost confidence in him. "T-that's what wishes are for, right? Granting us miracles that we could only dream about..."
Comparing the situation now to what you were like two weeks ago... This all seems like something out of your wildest dreams. And now that you are given the chance to let someone else have their own wish come true, who are you to say no?
You lean forward on the armchair and ask your new friend, "W-would you like to try? I-I think the Sun is rising outside at the moment." You hear shuffling behind the curtains as Ariane rises to sit again.
"I... I think I..." She seems a bit unsure what to say. She clearly wants to go out, but seems to struggle with the notion of crossing some sort of boundary. "...I think I'd... like that... Will you hold me all the way?"
"Yes." What else can you say?
Ariane remains still for a moment, not saying anything. Then you hear how she throws off the blanket and shifts herself closer to the curtains separating you two. "H-here I come..."
The curtains are gently opened, and out steps a very much real girl. Similarly to the Ghost, Ariane has incredibly pale skin and long, almost-white platinum hair. However, instead of the elaborate dress she is clad in frilly light green pajamas, and you note that she seems quite petite. In her left hand, she has a ring with a small emerald green Gem embedded to it.
She shifts awkwardly on her feet and seems to shrink as she sees you sitting there. She smiles awkwardly and looks quite confused about your appearance "I... didn't realize you actually were a real girl, s-sorry..."
