That could potentially complicate matters if true, but for now let us say there are at least twelve among us with a role. It's easier to assume we'd need to hunt down a larger number and overcompensate, than narrow our scope prematurely.

Might as well clear something up -- humour me: you have a role, yes?

But here's another thought for you: how many roles, or people with a single role, do you think there are out there?

The number I heard tossed around was thirteen -- twelve, now that Escha-san is no longer with us.
