Arm the Homeless

Joan
"I'd tell her to stay away from magic, then. Are you satisfied?"

There's no rooting out corruption in lawmakers until we root out government from society.

"No, it doesn't. Your specs might go up, but even if you win your battles, you'll still get worn down. It's like spending 900 yen to make 1000, you barely break even."
Tami, Hisako
"Eh? Ah.. you must have run into a youma and its nightmare then. I guess it didn't notice you though if that's all that happened."
Egusa-san scratches at her cheek and chuckles nervously.
"Good thing, huh?"

Joan
She makes a troubled expression, as if trying to remember.
"This all happened.. a little more than a month and a half ago?"
Hisako
You look inside. The contents are the same as they were before, textbooks and other school related items.
Aika
You load up a site with many uploaded galleries.
..It's a pain to browse on your phone.

[You guys need to step it up Joan's the only one doing anything]

Joan
The girl narrows her eye.
"I don't see why those are important."

Joan
"You don't need to know what my wish is. It's not going to help you."

Joan
"About four or five months ago."

Joan
"I couldn't tell you. It's probably been wished for, or someone wanted to, but I've never seen anyone making a wish."
The image of a one-way road floats into your mind. Almost frightening how someone would force themselves to keep moving, even without knowing what was really waiting at the end.

Joan
The bandaged girl lets out a bitter sigh as she leans against a nearby crane game machine.
"It depends on the level and type of residual magic. At lower levels, it's things like causing magic phenomena or emotional outbursts. More than that causes.. mutations."
She stares up at the ceiling.
"I've only ever stood on the very edge, so I don't know what comes after. But it would have to be a lot worse than everything else if someone ever got to that point."

Joan
Strands of magic power spill out from your ring and coalesce between your thumb and index finger, quickly forming into the familiar jewel shape of an oblivion seed.
The girl absorbs it into her own ring once you drop the seed into her hand.
"Ask away."

Joan
"First, the oblivion seed," she says, holding out her palm in expectation.
Just looking at her, the bandaged girl gives off a listless, even pitiful, impression from her appearance and body language. She would almost seem weak if not for the intense, dagger-like gaze in her visible eye.

Joan
You quickly head up to the second floor. As expected, there's not as many people as there would usually be since most people are still in school at this time of day. That's not to say there aren't still a fair amount of patrons around though.
That being said, you recall that you never actually caught a glimpse of the girl, much less her face. She apparently has a lot of bandages, but depending on the angle, even that might not be an ideal trait to pick someone out of a group.
"Nonohara Joan?"
But before any of that could become a problem, you're approached from behind. Turning around, you find a young girl wearing a hoodie and track pants, with half of her face wrapped up.
Tami, Hisako
Egusa-san notices Hisako's twiddling, tilting her head in response, before finally snapping into place as if she suddenly remembered something important.
"..Oh! Right, right, we were here because Fujiwaka-san wanted to talk about something."
She puts her fork down.
"Sorry. What did you want to discuss?"

Joan
"There's a nearby arcade, in front of a Book-On. If you don't know where it is, look it up. I'll be on the second floor. Come alone."
Brushing off your demands, the girl then hangs up.
Luckily, you know which arcade the she was talking about, and it isn't that far away from your current location. You've been there a few times.

Joan
"Did you decide yet?"

Aika
You call out for Nekomoto, but after a few moments of waiting, you still don't receive a response.
