I honestly don't even think it matters. We're in this cycle where we kill these possessed people to stop them and keep the monsters we don't catch that week weakened indefinitely, but the cult's just going to summon more monsters! The blood-shedding never ends and no target has successfully stopped an attack.

"—ter what happened today, I don't think you could call this place safe by any stretch of the imagination. We've seen it react now in nearly a hostile way to our presence, and I don't know how long we can stay. Even so, the fact that it exists at all is beyond my expectation.
I suspect some of them want to reach out and make contact with the others, to ease their grief. I understand. But on the other hand, the cult realizing that this place exists—that there might be any space, no matter how small, that they cannot observe—would be catastrophic. What little safety and advantage we do have would be forfeit, and the cult is likely to wipe the slate clean and start over. And in truth, I have no proof that there's a way back.
So, is it worth hoping that they can keep a secret? Perhaps it is cruel, but I want to err on the side of caution."

I think they picked some people to work with. But they probably don't want the cult to notice, so they're being quiet about it.
[But that also means that there's not much else for the rest of them to do besides just... hang out and watch people die around them, so. It's still a little frustrating to him, even though he talks all the time about how he's not here to protect people.]

And we've had chimeras since, right? Dunno if they'd change it up this time.

It's true. We haven't found a way to break the cycle yet, and it doesn't seem like we're getting any closer.

I dunno if anyone really believes it -- but I know some people want to.

Caelus said he couldn't say where he got it, and Kate said she couldn't either for the baby note.

All right, we can just keep it in mind, but until something tangible shows up I don't think we can put a lot of stock in it.
