Perhaps Faite enjoys the games just as much.

So you're implying they aren't too smart?

Yup.

It's a lot like having to climb a ladder when you're afraid of heights. If you must, you do it because you know you can.

Noted.
> > I did notice though that the Hooded Hood tends to choose people who are less aware of what's going on under the surface. That's probably why he doesn't choose Lara, who seems to have some awareness of large-scale plans, or the Psychic Samurai, who might scare even the Hood a little since she sees through people so easily.

> The Hood is happy using a range of tools, on whom he uses appropriate techniques.

It would be kind of funny though, if the Hood is trying to put something delicately and Chiaki fires back by throwing what she figured is his real plan back at him. Of course the odd thing is she would do it to shock him, but without any malice whatsoever.

> So far in this storyline he hasn't used his powers. If he did then the Carnifex could innoculate himself against them. He's just relied upon his manipulative skills.

Sometimes that's best.
