That's what it really boils down to, in the end. More of a choice than what Kyuubey had offered her, true, but still a decision that's essentially a sham. Mami realized what she had to do the moment that the Queen's proposal fully registered. The course of action that felt right, called to her in a way that couldn't be denied: her existence for Utena's passage home.
It's no longer about atoning. The question of her guilt, her shame and self-loathing.....such burdens seem so blessedly unimportant now, in the light of this chance to finally do something worthwhile. Not for herself, in any measure (she's not yet tired of this world, of living on within it), but for the one she loves the most.
It's a step Mami is willing to take, has already committed to. The only thing left is to tell Utena.]
5, oh boy

Hey....you heard about the Queen's idea, right?
