I agree. Damage control will be crucial from that point on. If too many innocents get caught in the crossfire, then we're no better than the men we've been trying to stop.

[Ayumu leans against the counter, going quiet while she thinks. She's too much of a realist to believe that they'd be able to escape this without casualties. But sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. Saving her friends from future fallout would be nice but cleaning up the neighborhood benefits more than just them.]

This plan would work best with a third party in place. Striking quickly while both sides are distracted and weakened by their conflict with each other would be a prime opportunity for a new influence in its place. A more positive, less harmful one.

[She sighs.]

Of course, they'd need the strength maintain order. I doubt the others would let go of their domain too easily.
