Hapi &amp; Ashe A

...This is why I keep telling people we need to keep her underground.

Crimson Flower
Else

The church records explain in full detail what a threat she poses to everyone's safety.

It's a miracle that no one was hurt. Next time, we may not be so lucky.

What makes you so certain this incident was caused by her sighing?

It seems unfair to cast blame until you're truly sure.

Hapi enters the scene

Isn't it obvious? A horde of monsters appeared out of nowhere and attacked us.

Uh-oh. You guys are talking about me, aren't you?

There you are. You won't get away with this crime. I'll make sure everyone knows who was to blame.

Knight leaves the scene

Hey! You didn't answer my question!

He doesn't care what we have to say. Forget about it.

No, you told me you had nothing to do with this. I can't just leave it alone.

Yes, you can. And you don't need to worry about it.

But I do! What if they pressured you into confessing something you hadn't actually done?

They mean well, but they seem to think they have good reasons to suspect you.

Those suspicions could lead to forceful questioning. They'll do anything to get to the bottom of this.

You're probably right. If he has his way, they'll do whatever they can to pin it on me.

What about you? There isn't some part of you that agrees with that creep?

No. I know you don't sigh unless you absolutely can't help it.

You would never endanger people like that unless something pushed you over the edge.

I know this wasn't your fault. You said as much, and I believe you.

That's sweet...but unfortunately your conviction isn't good for much on its own. We have no proof.

Then we'll find proof! If you didn't cause it, then something else did. We just have to find out what.

I'll investigate the site where we were attacked. There could be a monster nest nearby.

You're so darn trusting, Freckles. For all you know, I could be lying.

Your commitment to honesty is as strong as mine. You'd never turn your back on our common bond!

Hapi
...

You're just like the Luna Knight!

Hey, come on! I was being serious!

Sorry! I'm not laughing at you, I promise.

I guess part of me was hoping to meet one of those storybook heroes. Now I finally have.
