White lies are more effective when the party being lied to doesn't recognize them for what they are; she's well aware that the claim lacks sufficient evidence.

She doesn't like the idea of putting anyone at risk, Naoto included, but it would seem even wronger, somehow, to potentially hurt someone who's always been kind to her. Of course, as of the current moment, that also applies to Naoto. ]

[ She is frightened, but surely, she thinks, it must be worse being the other party. ]
