Tsubasa took a moment to consider the implications of this. He had seen for himself how easily the man could overpower him. The longer their situation continued, the more Knights were affected by the curse, the less chance they had to defeat him. What made it worse was the difficulty in knowing who or how many had been stricken already, "Yes. I fear you're right - but that doesn't change our duty. We are compelled to defeat him."

Tsubasa hadn't wanted to interfere in any business of Kouga's but felt that the subject should be mentioned. Jabi's discretion was her own, "I believe that if anyone could withstand him, Kouga is our best chance."
