Time Flow (Puella Magi Madoka Magica/Worm)

[x] As much as you can bear, tell Mabayu and Sayaka of the time travel, tell Madoka all you can.
1 is falling into the worst of old habits, which is arguably the biggest reason Homura had such a bad time of it in past loops in the first place. Though, one could argue that by already kinda breaking said habit, we could afford to fall back into our comfort zone. I disagree.
2 is just stupid. In the first place, it assumes an "after" even exists, which frankly I'm not convinced will be the case for all of us. Wally is basically an Endbringer in all but name here, after all, and that means character death on a good day.
3 or 4 is probably equally fine, except we may need to pass a similar check to before. My only concern with 4 is that we may be stretching our trust too thin.
5 is... This could potentially make Madoka go kinda Yandere for Homura. Because if she believes it, she'll know the true depth of our love/obsession/commitment. All the suffering we've been through, for her sake more than anything else? We'll be lucky if she doesn't hit a Second Trigger from the shock. Potentially, it may also Second Trigger Homura because she'll be battling every step of the way to get all her trauma out. Personally, I don't want to Second Trigger Homura because I kinda doubt I'd like what that looks like. Plus, there's always the potential we ST against Wally cuz we failed again, and boom our loop power is back. Doubt it, but it's possible, so from a meta perspective we should try to save our ST potential until then.
Of course, that's assuming we even Triggered in the first place instead of something imitating the Trigger Phenomena to make us seem more "natural" to the Shards, and there isn't just some arbitrary magic bullshit threshold we gotta pass character developmemt wise to regain the remains of our tool kit.
And this is a bad thing, how? The few fics with a yandere Madoka are peak, it's a rare concept though, and they're mostly short. The second trigger element is an issue, since it's theorized that her second triggering will lead her to an extremely powerful titanization, like maybe she has the core shard of Eden, or something. Either way, if she's just hearing about it second-hand I can't see it having sufficient emotional impact to even get close to triggering her, given her first trigger was having her family killed. Even is she starts remembering the past loops, I don't think it'd shatter her so long as Homura is around.
Either way, I thought telling Madoka our backstory encapsulated all of that anyway?
I don't think we triggered, it doesn't mesh with our backstory, and our powers are simply too limited at the moment to realistically be shard-caused. Now whether Homura can trigger now is an entirely different thing, but to be frank, it'd be difficult to break her enough to do so unless Madoka straight-up dies and she can't loop. Suffering is kind of her default state, and she's too used to being shat on by everyone and the world.
Either way, I want to look into improving our magic. Maybe we can reproduce, say, our pocket inventory, or work out some of our old/related tricks (e.g. enchanting bullets, body enhancement, erc). It might be a muscle that we have to build with and experiment with now with none of the structured benefits of our soul gem.

Not sure which one you wanted but it wasn't fully changed.
I didn't mean it's a bad thing.

Too bad she's probably going to be immediately scooped up by a villain group and indoctrinated by them.
If KWSK could get their hands on Mabayu despite her clairvoyance and keep her chained up in a cell, they can probably get their hands on Nagisa even more easily. If they sell the idea of getting revenge on the Sleepwalking Ghost, who presumably caused her to trigger by killing her mother, they wouldn't even need the cell.
