Samon still had his trump card which forced Hakase and Mahiro to firmly believe that the former was indeed dead due to the cage of time trick. This resulted in Hakase literally losing all hope and Mashiro to abandon her. Mashiro even decided to switch sides with Samon in order to find the true culprit behind Aika's death. Again, Samon's logic that Yoshino was an unneeded existence does not really add up for me.
