Keep players thinking that there has to be; watch them flail while they try to decide whether to attack or defend against what looks entirely too normal to actually just be a normal thug with a knife.
There is in fact a naiad in the local pond and she really, really hate it when local anglers hook her kids. Don’t eat the talking carps, people.
The guy you were supposed to meet at four o’clock sharp doesn’t show. Was he attacked? Did the bad guys find him first? Did something awful happen? No, actually. He just missed the bus. He turns up half an hour late, looking pretty apologetic.

There's no fury in hell like a self-professed saviour who's being told that their opinion is irrelevant by whatever minority it is they're trying to white knight.
