I'm just saying I personally would like it if it also includes some presence suppressing abilities, to make it more useful in avoiding detection by Grimm through their normal eyesight and hearing. I know all that. I'm sure it does the whole calming/fear suppression thing, it just doesn't explain the invisibility to me. The only argument I've seen is that the Nevermore didn't see them, but I don't think it would have seen them regardless. With the position Ren and Nora were in I feel the Nevermore would have had to bow its head down lower than it did to see all the way under the house. I think the Nevermore was about to look under the house because of the fear/negativity that was there, but it disappeared before it got the chance and it then got distracted by and followed a different source, which there would be plenty of.
