That's not one I've heard before, so it's probably not the same thing. [Not that he's never heard of communists - that'd be an interesting trick, with China and Vietnam and North Korea so close - but English is his second language.]

...huh. Kanji's wasn't visible during Nova Venezia, or we would've seen it when we were setting his arm. So if the marks are showing up during the jaunts now... I wonder if that's a new pattern, or just a side effect of how they're manifesting this time.

Either way, I think I'll be avoiding the shrines, this time out. I don't know if we'll have a way to figure out who's around, unless more infiltrators die and can tell us, but this whole thing feels very, very Tower to me. One way or another, someone's in for major upheaval. Possibly everyone.
