Edie is walking home from school. It's something she's done hundreds, thousands of times before. It's later than usual, but not really out of the ordinary--sometimes clubs let out late. It happens.
It's a perfectly safe route.

If a witch's grief seed is touched to a magical girl's soul gem, the seed absorbs the tainted dimness of the gem and the gem brightens again. When the seed is full, I can take it away; otherwise it might hatch into a new witch. Wishes I grant transform human happiness into magical energy and that forms the soul gem, which is what makes a magical girl what she is.
Witches hatch out of grief seeds if they are filled and left around, or witches that are still alive can bud if they grow large enough.
"So they just--reproduce like sponges or amoeba or whatever? When did they start?"
"Why is magical girl magic compatible with witches? Is there anything else like witches that magical girls can use?"
All magic runs on emotion, and in that sense it's all the same. Girls can donate magic to each other, or a wish could refill a gem that already existed if the wisher chose.
"But it's not, like, critical, if Emily's emptied she could call me and I could spend my wish refilling it for her?"
Conjuring weapons to fight witches, healing, moving and resisting damage better than normal humans, transmuting things, most things people think of are possible with more or less magic!
"Ooh. If Emily had been a magical girl already, could she have brought me back without making a wish?"
"But the closest thing to legends we have about magical girls are anime...or, no, there's lots of legends that could be attributed to magical girls...if the phenomena of 'witches' has be been going on longer than recorded history, who decided that the English word 'witch' should be attached to it?"
