A part of Strange wants to point out that the 'fallen under my spell' bit is kind of hilariously on the nose. But now's not really the time. Still, that only further cements to Strange that it was a great idea to not go. If Yuya could feel it, then he certainly would have been snatched away as well.

"There must be something that unites the people taken. Because if I'm honest, the fact that some of them were kidnapped in the first place is downright baffling."

People like Childermass and Lavellan make sense, but Connie? Tanyuu? Why on Earth would someone choose to kidnap them? It had to have been an accident or some sort of unifying factor that none of them could have predicted. "And that Noa girl...she should have given us a more thorough warning."

That, at least, he's certain of. Strange can't help but scowl as he mentions Noa. At least in his mind, the blame for most of this calamity rests squarely on her shoulders.
