Tsubasa worried that the second of her theories was the right one. In that case, the situation could be desperately worse than anyone anticipated. The disappearance of a Makai Knight should have attracted notice, but what if the man in the red mask had slaughtered entire households? Were they to wait until Horrors were roaming loose until anyone discovered a Knight had gone, "Makai Knights are territorial. If someone knows more, they may say nothing until it's too late. Most Knights would try to deal with the threat alone, even if they were to discover it's too much for them."

The words made his throat close painfully, so he swallowed hard to clear it. At this stage Tsubasa was more than aware that he himself was hiding information that might help others. Jabi wouldn't appreciate it if she knew he was lying to her, and neither would Rin, "is something wrong?" She had been watching him for several moments.
