Except she still hates paperwork.

That makes Lara's assertions even worse, because it implies he has a motive for causing it.

And then Dancer, and then Visionary, and probably Hallie once those are gone. And then Liu Xi has that book. From Lara's point of view, the only real threat *is* the Chronicler.

Possibly, but what if it's a sign that the Chronicler is working down the list? Start with the greatest threat, see how it can be neutralized, then move to the next.
Plus, the process of eliminating that first threat may create a second one. Once Danny is killed, Kerry becomes a great threat to the Chronicler and the Parodyverse. Once Kerry is killed, then Dancer and Visionary do. Once they're killed, Liu Xi becomes a threat because she'll seek revenge.
Lara would say that if the Chronicler still wants Danny dead, and brings that house of cards down, then he may be doing it purposely. He may want to prompt such a cascade to eliminate all his possible enemies in short time. Or maybe he has no intention of eliminating them, and wants to move the nexus.
