[ Setsu is fortunately not that naive, though often they fall back on their intuition for most things... they have dealt with numerous types of people in their loops. some using false generosity and care just to twist for their own means. they can tell when someone isn't how they claim and stage themselves to be.

of course, that experience is then and this is here. these are new people and yet, it's different for buzen. they can't ignore their own intuition on this, not with what they know. it's hard to trust anyone readily, especially when it regards people they don't nearly talk to as much as they do with Jonas, with Alex and-- but some of his words they think on they do trust. even if a little. it does not compare to who is with him now, and the rest but. ]

Buzen had mentioned he had known since Friday. Though, he also said that though he couldn't say it directly about what had happened, he did try in ways that he could. ..And then there was Matsui who provided that information with Hydrokinesis. [ without that, would they have reached the conclusion? maybe the suspicion would be there after Setsu managed to pick apart the lake and assume it could be water related. ] ..Last week, they had told me that as tsukumogami, it's their duty to protect humanity. So seeing them wanting to try and help us rather than their team...

[ after someone in their own team went after someone like Rin. ] ...It probably won't be that way in the future. Some teams are more likely to cover for another depending on what happens.
