It might not be exactly the same...

... But I understand. Why you can't afford to let your guard down.

[sixillusions]

Mm.

[...]

They said there's no saving him. [I THINK? I WAS OUT FOR TRIAL IF I'M WRONG THIS TAG NEVER HAPPENED] So unless special measures need to be taken to handle him, this-- [He nods slightly, towards the barrier.] --is pointless.

[sootprints]

[ I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH RIGHT YEAH ]

But... if we accept this, and it continues to happen...

One day, it may be you or me.

[sixillusions]

It may be us either way.

[He doesn't think it's a matter of acceptance, really--not when the cult was able to affect Boothill without anyone noticing.]

Those three lost one of theirs. If that doesn't push them to move faster, then nothing will.

[Though what they can do about it, in that event--he doesn't know. He's too focused on the immediate threat in front of them to spare the energy for strategy.]

[sootprints]

Those masked overseers? ... I hope so. I don't want us to be helpless here.

[sixillusions]

Mm. [Technically they're not totally helpless, but... as of right now, they can't fight against the most important thing, so Kanda isn't going to be pedantic.] ...All we can do is strike faster next time. And watch for people acting strangely.

[But Akuma blend in with the crowd all the time, so he doesn't have a lot of hope that they'll notice before someone gets attacked.]

[sootprints]

[ look kanda you might be a cool sword guy but kate is 135cm tall. ]

Did Boothill act strangely at any time between Monday and Thursday? I didn't see him very much during then...

[sixillusions]

[It's okay Kate he'll protect you even if he'd say he won't]

He seemed as annoying as ever to me.

[sootprints]

So we can't really tell just from one's behavior...

[sixillusions]

Not unless those other three have a spell to make it obvious. Or the cult changes something about the ritual.

[Which he figures are pretty unlikely... maybe the first, but. Eh.]
