[Several letters are delivered to various parts of Ponyville. Mysteriously. And with no return address. Oooooooh.

Anyhow, a letter for SAKURA is in the mailbox of the Agency. A letter for TOMOE is at that residence. One for DANTE is left at his cave. Any precure gets one at their abode, title PRECURE. Including Minako. But, semantics! And one for Discord is...well. The sender's working on that one. Pay no attention to the bird carrying a letter and running into things.

The letter is simple and short.]

To Whom It May Concern,

Please do not speak of magical girls or related issues with Madoka Kaname until further notice.

[Its not signed. The signer is probably obvious, though. To some, at least.]

[Homura looks down at this, silent.]

If it helps you feel any better, I feel the same way about Vergil. We even had our own thing that I never wanted to talk to him about.

Re: [Action]

[bornoflove]

...And what secret did you want to keep from him?

[Action]

[strawberryredgrave]

Remember that whole Mundus thing? Vergil tried to take him on by himself after he and I had a big fight. Mundus brainwashed him into being his servant and turned him against me.

(Dante is silent for a moment.)

I had to kill him.

...

Its...not that kind of reason.

[strawberryredgrave]

I know. All I'm saying is big secrets like that don't stay secret as long as you want them to. They tend to be rough and downright painful, but they have to be revealed eventually.

[She looks down.]

I...won't let her be hurt.

[Action]

[strawberryredgrave]

Hurt from what?

(He knows what Homura means, but he seems curious as to her answer. How much can you protect her from?)

Re: [Action]

[bornoflove]

[No looking at Dante as she speaks.]

Surely you know. You were attacked by it.

[Action]

[strawberryredgrave]

I get attacked by a lot of things. Occupational hazard.

(Dante shakes his head.)

There's a good chance she already knows.

[Action]

[bornoflove]

She won't touch Madoka. Never.

[Action]

[strawberryredgrave]

Then I won't question you about it anymore.

Just try to look out for yourself too, okay? She probably just as interested in you as she is in me.

I'll be fine, Dante.

[Action]

[strawberryredgrave]

You better be. The last thing Equestria needs is an angry Dante tracking down a goddess.
