Another point in its favour is, why would a third party bother to join the fight at that point? Teruyama wasn't really in need of assistance. He just needed to figure out some way of landing one decent blow and Setsuna would have been in a lot of trouble.

Though having said that... I did have half an idea for a fragment that might have produced the observed effect. Maybe I'll share it at some point.

While I am starting to warm up to the Eden seed theory, I still think it’s possible that Setsuna is under attack. However, I’m not looking at this situation from the perspective that the individual attacking is trying to help Teruyama. Rather that it's someone from Simeon who found out Mio turned traitor.

If someone found this out, it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine that both Setsuna and Kuchinashi are traitor's as well. As we saw with Aruka, Simon’s pretty quick to pronounce judgment for traitors so if someone found out what Mio's been doing, they may have just decided to step in, and wipe them out. Teruyama might still have value, so that might be why Setsuna was the first target.

There's a lot of possible candidates who could have been responsible, what with all the clones, and just about every member of Simeon hopped up on drugs. We’ve already discussed Nanami, Misaki, and Kurumi coming back, but it’s possible there are other members of Girl Squad who have their eye on becoming Riru's personal squad.
