[After over a year at Mayfield, Chrona's gotten used to really weird stuff like this, even though it's a lot weirder than usual. Sure, she sulked in a corner, and it was kinda weird that Ragnarok wasn't yelling at her... but she's sort of dealing with it. Kind of. A little.]... What's a "Leporid"? That weird person on the phone said I have to

A...leporid? I'm sorry, Chrona, but I'm not sure what those are, either.

[hell_inmyhead]

It's... t-they're... Maka, I have to kill bunnies. I don't want to kill bunnies.

[angelic_meister]

Wh...What? I--Why? Why would they ask something like that?

[hell_inmyhead]

I don't know. Lady Medusa made me do it when I was little because she wanted me to learn how to kill... it doesn't make sense now...

[angelic_meister]

I...I'm sorry, Chrona. I'm not sure what to say. I don't want you to have to hurt anything, but if you don't...

I...I don't want to see you hurt.

[hell_inmyhead]

I-I don't want to be hurt... but I can't just kill other things. Lots of other things. I don't want to kill again, even if I have to be punished...

[angelic_meister]

If you don't want to kill, then don't. I'll find you and do everything I can to protect you, Chrona!

[hell_inmyhead]

... Thank you, Maka... I-I'll do whatever I can to protect you, too.

[angelic_meister]

No, why...why can I never be strong enough to keep you from crying?

Thank you, Chrona. No matter what happens, I'll be with you.
