'If I'm to escape without getting tracked, the [Assassin] has to go.'
Atop a 10 metres tall tree, Sato hid in between the branches, preventing his figure from being spotted by the individuals below.
To escape the crew below, Sato could simply slaughter them all, but as he was about to enter the town, doing so wasn't advisable. When a player kills another player, they have their name written in red alongside a red marker above their head, replacing the usual green marker.
There were a few ways currently known to get rid of the color change but the most simplest and employed process was to wait it out. Depending on the number of players killed, the marker would slowly return to its original colour with time.
Since Sato wasn't too far from town and he also didn't want to waste any more time, he could only kill one player. Any more and that would intesify the shade of his marker and he would need to wait longer to get rid of it.
