[His shoulders slump when she pokes holes into his weather theory, but... well, she had a point there. It was definitely too easy to connect dots to things that probably were mere coincidences, after all.]
That's true. We probably don't want to start going all "Crimson faked the moon landing" about this if we can help it.
[But then Ai mentions the Night Terror, and his posture stiffens ever so slightly. He took great pains keeping certain things off of that report (and making sure the others did the same), although there was no telling what may or may not have slipped through the cracks. Thankfully, though, it seems that she was more interested in Ango's overall Disturbance in general, and after a heavy moment of silence, he finally responds, voice quiet and tentative.]
... yeah, I was. And yeah... I do.
[It had been something he had been meaning to discuss with her for a while, ever since the first Disturbance, although with everything going on, he couldn't find the right time-- until now, that is.]
You know about how I was on the one mission to find Crimson, right? Where she went and kicked us all out and told us not to come back? Well... I noticed something. In both Mio-chan's and the old guy's Disturbances. It felt a whole lot like how it did when we stumbled upon that weird gazebo place she was hiding out in. That weird... super-real but not-real feeling.
The old dude and I had wondered if maybe what we've been running into with her is her own Disturbance, possibly. It definitely feels the same, and if Crimson's as good at working with the Dream Sphere as they say, then it explains a whole lot about why no one's noticed it sooner.
[And Hanako and Ango were going to look into it further, but then SOMEONE had to have a midlife crisis and send their demonic sakura waifu against folks!!!]
