Sheliak doesn't have any specific info of his own. His thoughts are based on what he has heard from other people. These are his thoughts:

- the timing of the Night Parade and choosing the kappa as their pawns was essential to the assassination. The Night Parade forced the Shuten and Tamamo to stay out of it since they wouldn't risk breaking the spirit of the Night Parade and the Daitengu was forced to go along with it to protect the kappa and not bring more suspicion to his clan. The fact that lost souls from the Alliance weren't allowed to be involved with the kappas' activities either seems to support this theory.

- The kappa are just pawns, they were just as shocked as everyone else, but entering into a secret contract with no knowledge was incredibly careless of the kappa and they are just as guilty for the fallout

- the assassins have a hidden agenda beyond the death of the Daitengu and destabilizing the Alliance. They are too smart to not take advantage of the following chaos

- He was shot by the mystery assassins and he found out the bullets were strange but he won't bring this up unless no one else does.
