She bites her lip. "But it might be the thing I get if you push me the pushing thing."

"I am almost positive that both my psychological effect and the teleportation effect count as drawbacks so they should not be paired."

"I meant the thing that lets you push powers, not the thing that pushes you into another world."

"Oh. Yeah. It's, um, I think it shouldn't take effect if you turn around and don't look at anybody while you have it? I'm guessing though and if you don't want to test that one that's fine."

"...If I don't look at anybody?"

"I mean, I'm blind, so it's not strictly that, but if you don't perceive anybody? We should also not talk to you just to be sure."

"...Okay then." She closes her eyes.

poof.

"...okay, so I know how some of them pair now, that's good."

"And there's a positive effect that you don't know what it goes with and a negative effect that you don't know what it goes with."

"Yep."

"I'm actually curious how the pushing thing interacts with our world's kind of magic but there's really no way to test that."

"Apparently not."

"Unless we get you some."

"Is that doable?"

"Sure! I don't know how old you are for certain or whether it's too old to become a Magical Girl, and getting sorcery is, ah, not pleasant, but you can sign up with the Artifacts Registry to see if anything likes you."

"I'm seventeen. What's unpleasant about sorcery?"

"Becoming a sorcerer hurts like hell."

"...ah."

"But! You're not too old to be a Magical Girl. So that's something."

"I don't know enough about any of this to make decisions about it," Annie points out.

"True."

"Maybe you could explain it after. - you're not stuck like that, are you?"

"Nah. We've done this plenty of times. It's a little tricky to keep up, actually, but we're much stronger this way."
