We weren't able to confirm Estellise, before. I think Nito-kun is asking around for hers as well. If she was one, that accounts for one we didn't know, and we'll have to see where we stand after trying to confirm the ones we were aware of. That should let us know if the members we were missing are still with her, or if we'll have to work harder to determine other shifts to at least find out more about where they aren't.
[he pauses to take in a breath, before:]
... and I know. I feel as if we have... reasonable suspicion, with what we have, but I would feel better being more certain.
Still-- those who have killed have acted multiple times, in the past, and our current methods have not been as effective as I had hoped. I think it could be worth the risk to aim for them first.
Reasonable suspicion's not a bad thing to look into as long as you really know what you're getting yourself in to, especially if it turns out you're right. Trust me. [Let's not talk about all the times Jack's gone off to do things based on suspicion and screwed up in his old life.
But he pauses then.] Hold on. "Those who have killed have acted multiple times"--what do you mean? Did I miss something in the explanation?
Ah-- no, I only meant the ones before. We have had three now who killed multiple people, or claimed to. Luna, Newt, Guy-san... though he did it within the same night.
My point in this case is that if we do not intervene in time, I fear they will be emboldened by having gotten away with it, and it will lead to more of the same again.
Ah...gotcha. [There's a nod because, like, that's a fair point.]
...I am a little worried about what'll happen if nobody intervenes in time. That's how serial killers are created, right? But with the rule this week...what next? Think someone's going to strike?
They may wait, or they may decide to take their chances and deal with the consequences-- or attempt to lessen them, maybe.
... truthfully, I am unsure what to expect. We will most likely stay together and ensure we and Nito-kun are protected, and then if we are targeted we should be able to retaliate. However, if we are not the ones that anyone who strikes decides to aim for... there will be less we can do.
If we become more certain, we may also end up breaking that rule ourselves. I doubt it would restrain Uchiha much.
I'm only going to ask that you guys be as sure as you can be before doing anything that drastic. I haven't changed my mind about trusting you, but we've been up for suspicion twice now. A third time...well, we might not get so lucky.
But like always, I'll do what I can on my end. I'll be out there Thursday night with you guys waiting for a status report. If Sasuke's with us, any idea where Senri's ending up?
