hmm, 離れてな is possible as a shortened form of 離れてなさい.
however I don't think so in that context.

国語辞典 - な

in that context, な correspond to usage of 二.

二 (間投助)
文節末に付いて、相手に言い聞かせるような気持ちを添 える。

I read it as like MMM's post. (and I read 彩珠 = 埼玉 Saitama.)

'shortened なさい or な' is ungrammatical, but I think it's な there by my feeling.
