Yes. [She nods, frowning herself.]

I haven't changed my mind. I'll stop any action that will release the demons into our worlds, no matter the cost. But I'm no longer certain of my course of action.

Do you think what Kagachi said can be true? That Tonbokiri was the only demon?

I think a lot of us are left with uncertainty right now when it comes to what to do next. [ It's meant to be a comfort mostly. They're all stuck now.]

But I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me if he was but then someone knows something more than they're saying. And it was after we already knew our options so...were they locking us into an option without giving us a choice? [ A frown.] ...but I do find it a little hard to believe that a non-demon would let Tonbokiri kill all four hosts before killing him.

[hegemonstrous]

Beyond that - there's the matter of who knew about Tonbokiri. You, Kagachi, Haymitch - Higekiri, I presume? And then the three of us. Not an insubstantial number, but I find it hard to believe any of us would have done this. There was no reason to.

I believe there are other demons.

[crashout]

Yeah. And then we can't forget the possibility that one of us is a demon, too. You remember what Illumi's demon said. He didn't have a clue there was another until he was told.

[hegemonstrous]

Quite true. But the seven of us alone would have known that Tonbokiri was likely protected. Unless one of us three didn't protect him.

You think maybe somebody went against the agreement? I doubt it was one of our guys because we were waiting on Chuuya.

...the question then is if it's a demon or someone acting on their own.
