Bella wakes up in the hospital.
She is not critically low on gem clarity, so she has the next two hours to herself to think as long as she doesn't make noise, which she doesn't, and foxes all the monitors attached to her real quick before they beep, which she does; she could go out the window but she has no plans for this loop which require her to skip town. She clicks her heels together and gets into her costume and pulls out a notebook to organize her itinerary.
Wishes that affect the whole world take a lot of magic and very strong feelings! says Kyubey.
Even if you were very passionate about mosquitoes you could not affect the whole world but you can get a bigger wish for things you care very much about.
Okay.
She's listening to his thoughts but he still hasn't thought about his true origins or the people who are directing him.
Well, they're not relevant to this conversation.
"You're so creative," says Tessa, "I didn't think of anything like that."
"Good for you!! If I had a brother I'd want that too. And what is it like fighting witches?"
"They're really creepy," Tessa shudders, "but at least once I kill them they can't hurt anybody anymore."
"It still bothers me that some magical girls don't cooperate. Can I wish to change that?"
You could wish it for some girls but not all of them, Kyubey says. (Bella refrains from making very much of a face, but osanwë can cover this gap without being a giveaway to the fluff.)
I wouldn't, promise. I'm just wondering if there are any questions that get past the canned answers.
You could wish that! Is that what you would like to do? Kyubey asks, flicking its tail.
There are so many things I want to do! I'm so curious about wishes and magic and witches and I want my wish to help things. But how can I help things when I don't even understand where witches come from and why they're so awful and things?
Sometimes, a piece of a witch will leave the labyrinth and grow on its own into another witch of the same kind, Kyubey explains.
"Oh, and it's also important to give Kyubey grief seeds when they're full," Tessa says, "or they can hatch, like eggs."
"Thank you!" Can I wish that all the magical girls and Kyubeys I meet will help me uncover all the secrets of magic?
Come on, fluff, think about something other than getting me to make a wish...
The fluff has kind of a one-track mind there. There's no way to guarantee everybody you meet would be able to help you. And mind-altering Kyubeys is usually outside operational protocols.
The fluff jumps into her lap. The dangly fluffy bits that hang from the creature's ears reach for her face; they're softsoftsoft. You can wish that if it is truly what your heart desires.
Bella transforms and swats her shield and they're back in the hospital.
