This should be okay.

We can put it back on again, if and when the state of mind proves useful.
It's pretty blatant. We already mentioned to Homura that our recent change started when we put on the ribbon and we just found out that magic exists.
Yeah, alright. We did decide to reflect on our moral degradation soon.

Well fuck you too, Junko. I guess that's why Nagisa's second side quest is called "White Rat Necromancy".
Is "Then, from the ashes, The Third" meant to be "Then, from the ashes, The First"?
The First is Nagisa, the Third is Nagisa's mother and the Fourth is Mami. We already had Kyouko as the Second. Possibilities for the other six are: Homura, Sayaka, Hitomi, Kyousuke, Oriko, Kirika. Not us, or the AIs would have mentioned it.
The feeling of joy over having power over another human being fades as you realize that perhaps it is time to go home now.
"Would you mind if I asked you to show me some of this magic?"
"Do I look like a dog that does tricks for money and to entertain people? No. Just no." You find yourself somewhat disappointed. Sighing, you wave her goodbye.
"Thank you very much for the information. I'll be tending to my own business now."
"As you should. Magic ain't for outsiders."

You make your way home.

"Tadaima!"

After a late dinner and showering, you retreat into your bedroom, placing your ribbons into a drawer.
The last couple of days haven't been very usual at all.
It all started with those white ribbons.
They were gleaming with power and confidence.
The day you put them on, you decided to sneak into your mother's business, using a trick she taught to you. For the first time in your life, you stole something knowing how wrong it was to take things from other people.
After that, you decided to go to a not-well-off city and then make friends with a girl who was apparently a runaway or street urchin. You decided to then go and rob a bank, one that belonged to your mother, with her.
You thought of humiliating and embarrassing Sayaka in front of everyone for making some not-so-kind comments on the transfer student, Akemi Homura.
You intentionally wandered into a dangerous wonderland and shot bullets and grenades at things. Once, you even thought of going out of your way to destroy the threats around you, rather than just staying safe.
And recently, in fact, it just happened just a while ago, you've been getting these megalomaniacal urges to control people. "Serve". "Manipulate". "Exploit". Those were not terms in your vocabulary. They were terms used by thugs and dictators.
It had all started with those white ribbons.
They probably caused them, you now realize.
Ribbons, shootings outside of the Kazamino bank, paranoid terminal patients, artificially intelligent weaponry and equipment, knowing some pretty strange things about a street urchin, robbing a bank...
It all started with those ribbons.
[] "Eventually, I'm going to hurt someone if I keep wearing them." Discontinue wearing them and stash them deep in your closet.
[] "On the other hand, that strength and pride gives me a sense of purpose." Continue wearing them.
[] "What is Mother up to?" Resolve to confront Mother on why she gave you those ribbons tomorrow.
[] Write-in
After that, will you sleep or engage in another action?
[] Sleep
[] Other
-[] Write-in
