Ω XII

[thunder_striker]

[Fate spent a long, long time choking back sobs after seeing the news report. The sight of her best friend, partner, and love's anguished, motionless face wracked at her mind. Her heart felt ready to explode. She had lost her pillar of sanity and confidenceBecause I am too weak, you suffered. Because I am too inept, I failed to return you to Vivio

[Chrona, of course, was staying over Fate's house as usual. So as soon as she heard Fate's scream, she panicked and ran towards the source. She panicked even more when she saw Fate snap, transform, and fly out of the house.]

F-Fate...

[thunder_striker]

Chrona, please stay here. I'll be back.

With Nanoha.

[hell_inmyhead]

B-But what if you get hurt too? I don't want my friends to get hurt...

[thunder_striker]

I'm sorry. I know I should protect you, but...I need to find Nanoha.

[hell_inmyhead]

I can fight. I won't be hurt. B-But if you fight him, something bad will happen....

[thunder_striker]

But I have to fight. For Nanoha...

[hell_inmyhead]

I don't want Fate to get hurt... b-but I... I don't know how to deal with this...

[thunder_striker]

Neither do I. Neither do I...

[hell_inmyhead]

... I-I'm sorry...

[thunder_striker]

[Bardiche retracts his blade and Fate floats down towards Chrona.]

I'm sorry, too...So, so sorry...

[hell_inmyhead]

[Sob Chrona is so bad at comforting people.]

... Y-You won't try to get him to fight you again, will you...?

[thunder_striker]

I don't know.

[Chrona suddenly looks very, very nervous. She's staring down at the ground, shifting from one foot to the other, and chewing her bottom lip. She really, really doesn't know how to deal with this, but Fate needs help...]

[But before she can change her mind and chicken out, Chrona moves closer and gives Fate a hug, practically clinging to her.]

Don't... I don't want anything bad to happen to Fate...

[thunder_striker]

[Fate blinks in surprise, then immediately returns the hug and begins bawling.]

[hell_inmyhead]

[asdfghjkl; Chrona doesn't know how to deal with this. But whenever she started crying when Maka hugged her, Maka just kept hugging. So Chrona'll do that too.]
