That's the first reaction Zafika naturally has, because even as a cold blooded assassin, this isn't a question they'd have expected nor wanted, ever! The Protector, a murderer? In technicality, yes, even if not directly, considering that the Protector is just as much of a part of the Wizard Season as the Wizard and the monsters are, but how are they supposed to know for sure what the answer is? They knew the winning question would be hard, but this? This is... they don't know what to think.
They almost start pacing, completely ignoring Four as they think this through. They're even hesitating to answer, because no matter how they answer this, getting it wrong is going to be bad. If they answer with 'true' and they're wrong, they'll have relief but the game will continue. But if they're right about it... they don't want to think about it.
But they can't just stay quiet forever, so they sigh quietly and look up to the boxes that are lit purple. They want this game over with. So let's be as pessimistic and go with what they would least want the correct answer to be.
