We don't know anything about them. This means that we can't tell anyone a thing about them. [With a final drag, he flicks the cigarette butt off to the side, smothering it out, keeping his eyes on it rather than anything else.] Think of how many have died; those are their numbers. The minute that they feel cornered, they'll lash out recklessly. The best thing for the okiagari, if under seige would be a town-wide panic. Even that would cost them more lives than the current stalemate... And, a panic would be the worst thing for us, under any circumstances. For the time being, we're at a Nash Equilibrium; the end result of rushing into anything without more information is just mutually assured destruction.
