10th ❄ [video]

[persical]

[the mirror shows the interior of an apartment, slightly darker than usual. Claire has hung curtains over the windows to deter the attention of their unwanted guests. She looks tired, though not about to collapse, at least.]I hope everyone is staying safe...please don't do anything reckless

... Will you be alright, Claire-san?

[persical]

Oh, Madoka! Of course. I've got a protector or two.

[her bemused glance at Reno lounging on the couch says otherwise, though.]

What about you? Are you staying safe?

[fatedmagia]

... Mm. I'll be safe. [ and make sure everyone else is safe... ] It's a little scary, but I think that if everyone takes shelter, we'll all be okay.

[persical]

You're right. If there's nothing for them to chase after, they won't bother.

[fatedmagia]

--They'll also leave soon. I'm sure of it. [ she plans to fight them after all ]

[persical]

All of the strange things that have happened here have had conclusions...I can only hope you're right, that this is the same.

[fatedmagia]

I... I wonder why these things continue to happen here...

[persical]

The Queen and her subjects...seem to make a lot of mistakes. I can't tell if it's on purpose, but it still affects us, so it's no good. All we can do is protect each other as best as we can....

[fatedmagia]

... If it were possible... I'd like to talk to Queen-san about it. Everything is so happy here when it's peaceful. I.... I want to help protect that.

[persical]

I spoke to one of her helpers once, but now I wonder if it--was silly. All I asked for was cookbooks, I should have asked for more...

[fatedmagia]

Eh? I don't think that's silly.... Uhm. Did they give one to you?

[persical]

Well--not to me, but they appeared in the library. Unfortunately, they're all dessert recipes. I suppose nothing ever really turns out as we want it.

[fatedmagia]

Is it possible that they misunderstood a little...?

[persical]

Perhaps...she was a child, a little girl. I guess children will always have sweet tooths, right?

[fatedmagia]

Ahaha.... That's true. Maybe they were misbehaving...

[persical]

I hope I can get in touch with the queen herself sometime. Or someone with some responsibility, at least.
