Something I noticed, possibly to our benefit: Saphir is a follower, but he has enough brains to follow those he finds most likely to protect him. Quite consistently he's hung onto Subete's coattails to remain protected. I could physically protect him, but he's rather wary of me otherwise.

[If Rosa could somehow persuade Saphir she had Gin "on a leash" as loathe as he is to think of it like that, she could possibly persuade him to see logic and come with them. He's been someone's leashed killer before, so it's not like it's a foreign concept.

The Dazai issue though...]

Dazai has claimed otherwise when I said as much before, but I presume that that's because it was me who said it. His cohorts would have to be otherwise before he could pull anything off anyway. They don't seem to ever be very far.
