No, I'm not scared. So far, every person in this apartment complex has had a mask like our's. Notice anything about the locals? No masks. That's their faces. We put on their faces to blend in, become them. Seems like it might be a safety precaution above all else, but it's also backing us into a corner. We have no choice but to rely on them. That's the point. I don't know your "Eiko", but she doesn't need to be more of a danger than you. She's doing her job by staying near you. For all we know, the real danger will start once they figure out we're not from here— so no. I'm not afraid. This is the cautious decision. Besides, don't you think that there's people besides us who are more at risk? This isn't the first time that I've received the briefing this way, but it might be for the others. Better to play by the rules until we know how big the gameboard is... or what game they're even playing at.
