I've wondered that myself. It might be a risky play to keep up appearances with our branch of the Coven. Faith in authority is easy to crack, many of the population already sympathizing with those their leader oppresses. Many upon her side, the streets brimming with positive word of mouth... [he trails off, mind turning a moment. It's so difficult to know what he may be overthinking, but a dead end is just another route to understand, isn't it? And if it wasn't a dead end, any leads they get might be useful in dismantling the hypocrisy of this place.]

Make me suspicious that monsters aren't the only ones feeling compelled to agree with such orders.
