I have had a conversation with my mentee today.

She seems to be aware of my plans, if only to some extent. Just as expected.

Through careful probing I have investigated how much of my plans she knows about - it is not a lot.

While she has made good guesses on the nature of my plans, the details elude her.

So far nothing too unexpected has happened. I have adjusted my plans for her in light of the current details, but otherwise there seems to not be any grounds for worry.

I did notice a change in the positive direction in my mentee's perception of the world. She is now aware of the typical nature of a witch and what place she has in this world. Despite this, she seems to have a good amount of ambition and has not given up hope.

If I still intended to cultivate her into a proper witch, it would be a cause for celebration.

Because I love her, I cannot help but geniunely wish for her to surprise me and overcome my plans, as improbable as it seems. Should something like this miracle happen, I will be happy to see how she grows up.

This miracle will not come into fruition, however.
