Actually, it's that problem that gives rise to why I need to talk to you. Masato has little to no connection to the vamps - not without Rachel's character. The vamps are not going to use the Velvet Shadow for Elysium any more, for a few reasons. So you see the obvious problems. It'll be like Gabriel all over again - struggling to find ways to keep him in the story. I didn't like doing that the first time - wasn't fair to you, and I don't want to do it again.

So, we'll have to see what kind of solution we can come up with.
