"Ha! Aaaaheehahahahahaaaa!" Tokiko was laughing again. "Maybe you're right, Fairy-chan, but isn't that a bit cruel?" 

Her expression darkened. "You could have waited a week, even a few days, and then made her a happy magical girl who defeats lots of shades. But instead you come to her now, and nearly get her killed." She teetered to one side, gesturing restlessly with her taser. "A new magical girl on the eve of Hex Night? She'll be toast. No allies, no experience, and she probably won't even know what her Archetype is. If you gift her with magic now, you'll just be setting her up to lose, and lose [i]hard.[/i]" She sighed. "Honestly, putting her in hospital might have been the more merciful thing to do..."

And then she grinned, and shrugged. "...but why should I care? Only someone as weak as Miss Needle over here would see a newbie like her as a threat. In fact, it might even be fun to see such a irritating person fall into despair!" She laughed again. "Do it, Hikari! Fight, and fail, and then wallow in your own defeat!"

Whilst Tokiko gloated, her Archetype was frowning, sniffing at the air. Almost as if it sensed something amiss...
