So, to be clear, this mascot animal, which has explicitly stated that their special ability is being better capable of narrowing down where violencia are, was capable of smelling the "residue" of a violencia after it attacked someone, but not the ACTUAL violencia standing just a few feet beside it? Oh, and that was when mascot was in macho bunny mode "because normal people can't see him", but there's no problem with the violencia seeing him?

Couldn't there have been a better way of advancing to nighttime and having Lanmao nearby than creating a plot hole this obvious?
