I'm—honestly not sure, I don't have it written down or super organised in my head or anything. But a lot of it will probably need, like, thought? Like for instance, one thing that I think is pretty important is that once you're a magical boy your very existence is magical and you consume magical energy, and the only way to replenish it is to defeat a witch and use the "seed" it drops, and that seems pretty, uh, it seems like it and things like it might be things you'll want to think about? You thought it was really cool to be a magical superhero the first time around, but you know.

Okay, time to go roof hop to school. ...though he will take the lift to the ground floor, first, because he does not know if the roof hopping is rated for jumping off the penthouse window.

It does sound really cool. I guess I can talk to - Kyubey? - about the details? Since you're new?

Can I listen in? I'm sure you'll ask questions I didn't think of that you didn't tell me about the first time around, and maybe I'll remember some things that you didn't think of, too? Who is he kidding, Perfect Swan Masaharu-sama wouldn't benefit from his presence, but he's curious, okay?

Okay. Do you know what I wished for last time, like, evidently I didn't pull off 'end noncon mortality' but how high can I swing here.

I—don't actually know. Kyūbey said that you were particularly well-suited for healing, and I'm getting the impression that powers are themed around the wishes pretty strongly? More strongly than I thought? Is that right, Kyūbey?

Most everyday uses of magic, any wisher can perform! But things that would be too expensive for an ordinary magic user are easy for someone whose wish related to that thing.

Healing, okay, what did I do, did I whack a disease - did I get malaria - I should actually do research and make sure malaria's the best one, I've just been internally using it as metonymy but maybe it'd better be tuberculosis or something -

Magic is powered by emotions. Your emotions about malaria are stronger than your emotions about tuberculosis.

It would be really satisfying to put malaria in the ground but if tuberculosis is better I bet I can get worked up about that!

Let me know when you are ready to try!

...oh. Was his wish... to end a whole disease?

It didn't even occur to Yutaka, not until the very end, to wish for something for other people, and even when he did it the most worked up he could get was about Haru personally. And yet Haru can just—feel so strongly for other people that he could wish to end a disease?

This guy really, really is better than Yutaka along every single dimension. Like it's not even embarrassing at this point it's just depressing. 

—I think I did see something online about malaria inexplicably being eradicated the first time around? Maybe that was you?

That is so cool. Wait, no. That is Probably Suboptimal. I have to feel disgruntled about it so I can be smug enough about tuberculosis or dysentery or something. I will need to spend some time on Wikipedia.

He's so much better as a person than Yutaka could ever hope to be, it kind of hurts a little, lol.

What's the day to day of being a magical boy like, Kyubey, like, what's the modus operandi for witches that aren't destroying Tokyo?

You will be able to transform and while transformed use magic! You will be able to summon a magical weapon, and use your soul gem to dowse for witches to find them even when they are hiding inside barriers. When you kill the witch in the center of its labyrinth after fighting through its familiars, it may leave a grief seed, which you can use to recharge your magic.

And Yutaka already mentioned that just existing consumed magic, so that's one important caveat out of the way. The familiars that bud off witches can grow into full witches if they're left unattended for too long and eat enough people. Before they do that, they're still dangerous but don't drop grief seeds. Which means you need to budget your magic not just for taking down witches but also their familiars. There, that was a smart thing to contribute to the conversation, even though Haru would've probably thought about it in ten seconds.

And it'll cure my dyspraxia but will I be able to fight competently with my magical weapon? What weapon do I get, Yutaka?

Magic bow and arrow. The arrows and the string are made of energy and you can also unspool the string for infinite magically strong string. When you saved me from a witch once you tied me to a post so I wouldn't succeed at killing myself, which is what it had been trying to make me do.

Whoa. And I can hit things with it without having to practice a ton?

At least you were pretty capable with it by the end of the month, you and Yamanaka-san—that's Yamanaka Junko-san, you were teammates—were managing to hold off a horde of familiars pretty competently the day we died.

Should I know who that is?

She's a famous singer. Like, really really famous. I was shocked to see her with you.

Oh. I don't really keep up with the music scene. Cool that she's also a superhero though! If we work well together I'd like to be introduced, can you do that, Kyubey?

Yes, I can tell her about you.

Yeah it seemed like you did work pretty alright together.
