I'm well aware of how precarious the alliance of the clans is. The assassination was probably orchestrated to pit us against each other and restrict our movement. That is why we need to solve this carefully and quickly. The tension is only going to get worse the longer the problem persists and even if the other clans are innocent, that doesn't mean they won't try to take advantage of the situation.

It's too dangerous to remain idle.
