It's true: Stacia looks like danger. Almost anyone would be on her guard, given all these supernatural enemies causing havoc everywhere. The moment Stacia makes a move towards her, Ange's immediate reaction is to get ready to sprint away, like she was doing before stopping for a moment to gather her bearings.

Truthfully, the thought of rescuing anyone didn't cross her mind. Self-preservation comes first, especially when you're in a strange world, with strange things out to harm you, while even stranger Sisters try to capture you. Stacia transforming does get her to stop, though -- mostly due to the shock of seeing that transformation than because she believes she's safe.

The order doesn't do much to reassure her.

"Wouldn't that be pretty much everyone around here?"

For someone who was in the middle of trying to flee, such a question is made calmly, as if this all normal and mundane. But in a way, she's got a point: the number of people who are able to do fight effectively is pretty low. There are plenty more civilians and people that, for one reason or another, can't do much against the Nightrenders. Even being able to fight doesn't guarantee you will do well against those.
