I'm... being accused of murder?

... I am sure that by now it's obvious that list is fake. I see many people's names there and know they aren't capable of murdering anyone. Still, being the list myself... I don't quite like it...

How are you holding up? You know that's a lie, right?

You shouldn't leave the house.

[divine_striker]

I know I really shouldn't for my own sake, but it would be a real problem if I got you two dragged into this... And I don't know how our drone child will react to me being a suspect in murder...

[riflerosti]

[Hmph] They will want to cause division.

...Have you not considered that they might attempt to drone suspects into doing what they've got planned? You'd be a hazard to far more people out there then confined in here. The girl and I can take care of ourselves.

[divine_striker]

... I suppose that's true...

Well, if you're sure it's no burden...

[hell_inmyhead]

You... you're Fate's friend, right?

[Chrona vaguely remembers talking to her during the Christmas Past incident, but after two bouts of insanity, she's not entirely sure.]

[divine_striker]

Yes, I am. My name is Nanoha.
You're Chrona-chan, right?

[hell_inmyhead]

Uh-huh...

Um... i-if it helps... I didn't think you did any of that.

[divine_striker]

... Thanks, Chrona-chan.

Are you somewhere safe? Try to take care of yourself, ok?

[hourai_branch]

But why are you on the list then?

[divine_striker]

I don't know. I suppose this town must be trying to cause panic and turn everyone against each other...

[hourai_branch]

From everyone else's reaction, it is clearly not working.

[thunder_striker]

N-Nanoha! Please don't worry about me, you're the one in danger. Nothing in the entire world could make me consider you're guilty for even a second.

[divine_striker]

[ Hearing that makes Nanoha feel a lot better. It doesn't matter if she's a suspect, as long as Fate is by her side. ]

Thank you, Fate-chan... I'll do my best.

You're looking after Chrona-chan right now, right?

[thunder_striker]

Yes. All the violence and commotion seems to be really troubling Chrona...

But, N...Nanoha, about the...if anything happens, I promise to protect you.
