[Is it safer? It's hard to say, for him. He certainly wouldn't call it safe--not when their walls have been breached before, when he leaves his room some days to hear that they've lost tens, dozens, hundreds of people almost overnight. If asked, Kanda isn't even sure he could answer what "safe" is supposed to feel like.

But she's right: It's one of the only places where he doesn't have to be on high alert at all times. It's a place he knows like the back of his hand--where he has the closest thing to true privacy he can get, and people who don't expect him to explain himself. And it's the closest thing to a "home" he remembers knowing.

So--maybe "safer" is the right word.]

...Some types of exorcists can't be turned into Akuma. [He says, eventually.] They can still get inside, but it's less of a problem if those guys are around.
