Mm. All of the things they do have a unified ruleset to them, and a lot of the details aren't readily apparent. What happened here has a set of simple explanations that are, nevertheless, rooted in an inhuman level of stealth. But the explanation here is more or less simple; the Red Man entered the room with the tea and concealed himself directly behind Mott.Nice foreshadowing with Saito's horse, earlier.
I'm kind of inclined to call bullshit on Saito apparently turning into some kind of bloodless mirror man when he's in his assassin aspect, but that is how AUs go I guess. I can't quite pinpoint my problem with Saito and Kenneth, since I've read stories with much more bullshit protagonists; maybe it's because I know one half of the cross very well, so when Kenneth and Saito do their thing it feels out of place?
Just a personal issue, pay it no mind.
When the blood-detection spell was used that caused it to not recognise him due to the interference of Mott's own body; a flaw he'd never noticed in the past due to, more or less, his own inexperience.
Everything else is a combination of terror-psychoses and a bit of weird fuckery I'll explain... eventually.
