Mitsutada could say the same for himself, to be honest. It might sound too easy to write the ghosts off as some sort of diversion NPC or other, but the fact that they kept saying ominous things just added to the creepiness of it all. ]

[If they're using NPCs to mark the important "plot clue", he could see if the victim was someone with a reasonably high rank.]
Have you seen anyone that might look like they're... in charge?
