[GUARD DUTY IT IS... Kanda will not complain about this because he truly doesn't care about who does the stabbing in the end, so long as the evil is defeated.gif with minimal buffoonery.

It doesn't matter as long as she goes down tomorrow. [For all that he talks about not hesitating, not being too late--in the end, his main goal is to destroy what needs to be destroyed with minimal casualties. Rondo engaged with Erin and kept her from killing others, and Vin took out Nona before she even really had the chance to transform.

But he's mostly put the details of trial out of his mind already, so he doesn't have any good guesses to offer right now.] The best we can do now is watch for people acting strangely.
