[ Another charm of Matoba's. He takes it, nodding, and stashes it. ]

I've been informed. [ It's not something he's discussed openly, but he has talked about the Daitengu's near-miss, and what their mysterious faction leader's intents seemed to be as a result of the aftereffects of the Night Parade. ] I might not be heading to the top of the tower, but if there's anything on our end that might point in the direction of who did this - regardless of who they are, you can bet I'll get evidence of it.

[ Unlike others, Cloud doesn't think the Enma was the one behind the Daitengu's assassination attempt. It felt too suspect - Shuten and Tamamo fighting over lost Sutoku ground, while Sutoku and Enma end up in a cold war due to an assumed assassination? It felt too clean, too easy for someone outside the structure to take advantage of. ]

Hopefully we avoid the worst-case scenario. [ Which, yes, would be one of Daitengu or Toraguma - or both - succumbing to some corruption within the Tower excursion. It would leave the Enma MIA and Tenkohime poised to take control - hm, that's certainly... not probable, but possible. It's a theory that might hold water. But there's no proof to it, either way. Opportunity without means was just circumstantial, at the end of the day. ]
