Keitaro continued with his explanation, particularly to the two Goddesses who knew next to nothing of what they were intending. "Of course, as I'm sure you would have realised as soon as Ami told you, that alone will not be sufficient to set poor Makoto free. At best, we would give her an hour of clarity, returning her to herself for the briefest of times before the various counterspells within her reset, and I believe - but have not had the opportunity to test - that if this occurs, then the spells will adapt so that the same means will not work the next time we attempt them. This has to work the first time, or we start thinking up other ways to do this."
"That's where we gotta let her make a choice, if she wants to be really free," Ranma said. "She's gotta have sex with one of the three of us, and be transformed before the spell snaps back. Isn't that right?"
Keitaro nodded. "If the transformation hits afterwards, then... there could be complications. If before, then I think the change would clear her body of the 'imperfections' in the same way Naru and my eyes are better than they've ever been. Of course, the trick is that we need to convince her of the truth, as quickly as possible. I don't see that being easy. Usagi and Mamoru would have by some considerable distance the easiest time of this. I'm just wondering where in blazes Ami and the rest of them - Ah! Here's Ami and Usagi now... Excuse me, girls! Where is Mamoru? We need him for this to work as well, you realise."
