[Han] Tell me about the robbery.
[FSz] Two robbers, both armed. One clerk in a convenience store. Nicholas was inside.
[Han] No thought of the police?
[FSz] I wanted to wait and see the situation. In most cases the gunmen merely want the money and the clerk was complying. The asura, on the other hand, moved inside to protect Nicholas. While noble, it doesn't appear logical considering the asura assisted in the demise of Dances with Blood.
[Han] How did the shooting start?
[FSz] The asura revealed his true form, which startled the gunmen. One shot the clerk, the other shot the first robber.
[Han] You seem rather impassive about it.
[FSz] I had hoped that there would be a peaceful resolution. The asura's presence affected the situation in a way I did not predict. On one hand, I am responsible for not restrainting the asura. On the other hand, the two men responded with violence to an unknown and frightening situation. The only true victim was the clerk.
[Han] Was it justice or guilt that led you to convince the survivor to turn himself in?
[FSz] I felt that death would serve little for the gunman. If he felt remorse at his actions, perhaps he will learn form that. The loss of lives was wasteful. I did not want to contribute to the waste.
