Talk:Volto - speculation/@comment-44348162-20191108110701

But in Book 12 Love's Cruel Redemption, (spoiler warning for those who haven't read it yet) Nathan and Sang find the actual Volto mask (the one with the voice modulator thing) in Erica's car. Whenever Volto is around he leaves a clean mas, NOT the original and it was found in the car after Nathan and Sang went back to the car to look for the phone he dropped at the side of the seat. He borrow Sang's phone to call or text the guys, (I think he called) and he dropped her phone at the side of his seat as Erica approached the car from the store she bumped into Sang in. Once they founded the mask under Erica's driver's seat, Nathan and Sang prompted that they keep the new-found information to themselves, just for the time being. You could imagine how crushed Kota would be if he had a glimpse of the idea that Volto may be his mother and is threatening Sang's safety and ghost bird status. He would be absolutely CRUSHED. Also Max didn't bark in The Healing Power of Sugar when North and Sang saw that there were plain Volto masks taped to Kota's windows of his house meaning that Max was accustomed to Volto that he didn't need to warn Kota or anyone of an intruder. Erica is a nurse so she can be out the house at any of the wee hours and not be questioned because being a nurse can have odd, random and demanding release hours. Being a nurse also gave Erica access to have strep that she as Volto would have been able to infect the group and get them sick.
