ii; magician, the stern will and unfailing determination
Name: Minako Arisato

[Hello friends, here is a video of Koromaru. He's sitting on a bed, looking as happy and alert as can be, with a sign hanging from his neck that says:
ATTENTION ALL WITCH FRIENDS!
FOLLOW THE WITCH CODE SO YOU DON'T EXPLODE!
CREATE A BOND IF YOU'RE FOND OF LIFE!
Koromaru is patiently motionless for about five seconds, and then he raises himself up to vigorously shake his body, turning the sign around and askew. Minako laughs off screen, a hand reaching out to pull it off him.]
Okay, fine, I'm relieving you of your duty.
[Camera view change! Minako is now the focus, holding the sign with her free hand and offering a jaunty wiggle of her fingers as a hello.]
Yes, I know it's really dumb, but really dumb rhymes help people remember them better! And this is important. If you saw the Coven infirmary during that shared dream last month, I think you'd agree with me. Nobody should-- nobody needs to go through that.
I know it might not be easy for some people to make a Bond. It has a capital B, after all, it's important and telepathic-y and binding and things here are weird and confusing as they are without adding that to the mix.
But remember, you can un-Bond anytime you want! If you don't like your partner, you can find and Bond with a new one you trust later down the line. Putting it off will only worsen how much you're endangering yourself the longer you wait. And for what? Pride? Solitude? Forgetfulness?
[Her eyes go wide with a beseeching look.]
It's not worth your life. Please take care of yourself first. The rules in this world are different, and it hasn't and won't be easy to adapt to them, but this is about your health. You owe it to yourself to be in a comfortable mental and physical condition. If you don't want to do it for yourself, then do it for the people who are waiting for you back in your own world. Think of the promises you've made and the regrets you'd have if you let everything end here, so far away from home.
[She's quiet for a moment, and then huffs.]
So-- here! If you're a Monster and you're willing to Bond with a Witch, reply to this! If you're a Witch and you're looking for a Monster, you should definitely reply to this! Get it done so you have one less thing to worry about while you're on this world!
[A bright, encouraging smile.]
And seriously, if you're trying to find a Bond, take care, okay? The hallucinations and headaches get pretty bad.
Thanks for listening.

Yup, that's true. If you don't care that your magic can't reach its full potential, then it doesn't matter.
But it doesn't sound like you're against Bonding in general like some other people on this post are?

So instead, her tone is noticeably colder when she responds.]
Make no mistake: The things I have done, the things I have seen, the secrets I swore to carry to my grave, and the ones I defended long after that, I would not subject any here to it. Not even the Beasts. But if the others here wish to find what solace they can, exploring all opportunities might help those who are more reticent. Familiarity can breed comfort.

So, of the few that are left, we would have to find one who is not sympathetic to the Monsters, and one who is not a Monster themselves. Ah, but that doesn't take into account my knowledge of them, my personal taste, and yet more within me I keep that is as unsympathetic of knowledge as one can truly keep secret. So they must be prepared for the kind of secrets that can change a person.
Tell me, do you know of anyone? Even a single soul who doesn't fit the first two categories, let alone the last half-dozen.
Do not be ashamed if you can't. [Colder, derisive:] I'm not expecting there to ever be anyone. [And that makes it more than clear she's not even going to bother holding her breath, either.]
