Space Witch Venus. Maria had really bought Minako's insanity hook, line and sinker. And why wouldn't she? It fits into her world view. Good "witches" saved people from bad "witches." Of course she wouldn't be able to understand what Minako had done based on that.

Maria...

He didn't care what happened to him. He needed her to get out, to be safe. She's young. She shouldn't be in this sort of situation. "Maria, about Minako..." he begins, then bites his lip. Trying to tell her that witches didn't exist right now probably isn't the best idea, no matter how much he wants to. She clearly doesn't understand.

He needs to figure out how to phrase this so she'll believe him.
