[This morning a set of writing will appear. The writer, one Homura Akemi, is obscuring the camera angle so she won't be noticed. Not because she wants to hide her identity, but rather the makeshift bandages around her body. She's still slowly recovering using the Soul Gem's properties, but it isn't a fast paced healing in the slightest.]

Does anyone know where that attacker from two weeks ago is? It was stated by someone over the feed that she was neutralized, but death only lasts a week here. If so, she must have come back to the village somehow under the radar. We can't let another attack like that occur, not under any circumstances.

[Action;]

[Today will be the first day Homura allows herself to leave the house during the daytime hours. She hasn't been in communication with anyone in the village since she was brutually attacked by Mu, and only went out at night to retrieve either more medical supplies or food. If Madoka and the others found out she had been injured, they would surely......

...Well maybe Madoka would worry more than Mami and Kyouko. But, regardless, she didn't want to trouble anyone.

So she goes out from CH7 on a walk. To cover up the bandages around her upper body she's wearing long sleeve clothes, which look painfully inappropriate for the summer weather and can be seen taken a noticable tone on her. Her body has also considerably slown down, having to use most of the magic that keeps her running on healing the wounds. Every several minutes of walking is accompanied by her sitting down to rest and breathe, too weak to move. She can hardly even recall the last time she was so badly injured to this extent. In short, even while covering of her wounds, it's obvious she is not up to par at all.]

[Possible directive. So it didn't even matter where she would go. That was worrying for sure.]

Do you know who is issuing this directive, if she is not assigning it to herself?

[ Hey, at least Madoka is gullible enough to take the excuse.. ]

H-hmm, it's okay! Do you need some better clothes for the weather? You can borrow mine if you have to!

I didn't say having caution was any such thing. I said having too much caution could be.

...Unknown.

[If she had any concrete information on who may have given her that directive - assuming she didn't simply change her directive herself - she would likely have said so already. It's possible that the Malnosso may have done so, assuming they had a hand in this, but... there's no way to prove that with the data currently available to her.]

[She shakes her head.]

I just made a miscalculation. I plan to go home soon, but the weather is taking a toll on me.

I still don't understand why it is a bad thing.

I see. [Well she can't expect a stranger like this to know everything. Even if the voice is familiar enough to for her to mistake it briefly.] How long has Mu been in Luceti, if you possibly know?

Off the top of my head:

1. Increasing mental strain can make the advantage gained by the caution unnescesary.

2. Preparing too much for one eventuality leaves you vulnerable to others.

3. It is impossible to prepare for every eventuality, and doing so wastes valuable resources and time.

4. After a certain point, it can just be generally unproductive.

Do you want me to go on?

Looks to me like you should be.

...look, by the look of things? You'll fall over if I breathe too hard on you. Quit being stubborn, kid, and at least tell me what did such a number on you. I'd like to be on the lookout.

[and Estelle quickly catches her arm because she looks like she's about to fall over...] That's not all right. You shouldn't be walking around...

Her fault or not, I imagine realising you attacked the town and killed people is enough that she'd rather hide.

I guess it's a little warm, yes..

[ The concern doesn't fully leave her face though yet. ]

Are you okay though? I could walk you home, so you can have some company if it's hard for you to be out in the sun like this.

Duration of target's presence in Luceti... above 561 days. [She was already here when ν-13 first arrived in Luceti, but she's not certain how much time Mu had spent in Luceti prior to her arrival.]

Not really. I think you have made your point to me.

...It happened a while ago now. The person who did it is dead too.

[Well, was dead. She should be alive now.]

[Homura doesn't register Estelle's words, a sharp pain coming over her as her arm is grabbed by the other.]

Ah---!

[She grits her teeth and swallows down the urge to groan from the pain.]

Fair point. However, she should not hide forever. People will get suspicious.

...I wouldn't mind that. [Homura then begins to stand up, doing her best to hold back the wobble in her movement (though to little avail), and nods.] Lets go then.

[To think that much time passed by. It was over a year for sure from what Homura's knowledge of arithmetic could offer.]

I see. [...] I don't think I have anymore questions. I appreciate your to the point answers on this matter.

Good. That's all the reasons I could think of.

I know.

I'll pass that on.

[It might help. Nami thinks she should talk to the townfolk anyway.]

[ Well, at least she's a little happy now at being able to help Homura like this, but.. wait, did she just see some sort of wobble. :| ]

How have you been, Homura-chan? [ She puts a little smile on her face though as she strikes up a conversation. ] We haven't talked in a little while..

[The wobbling is in your imagination, Madoka!!]

I've been alright. Not much has gone on after all. [...] If I made you worry about my absence I do apologize.

[ Well she can think so for a moment now but!! ]

... Oh.. n-no, it's not like that all! After all, you should be free to do what you want too.. You shouldn't feel like you're forced to talk to me often or anything, just if you want to.

It's alright. Talking with you can be nice very often. I'm glad.
