[ There is just something about the swords here that strike an odd chord with her. It's not a bad one, but she isn't taking the time to examine it now.
She pats him on the head. ]
I like talking to to you, Yasusada. Killing isn't something I can avoid back home, but I don't go about it like how today went.
In some ways, I think I like how you think more than how most humans do.
[Aww, Roxana. He smiles a little, accepting the head pat.]
It's the same for us too. We're weapons, so we're made to kill--but it's never like this.
[Even the public executions he knows of, to the extent that they were performative, weren't done the way this one was. Those were meant to make a statement--this was just a grotesque show, as far as he can tell.]
Yes, I think so too. I believe Kazuma, when he said he did what he could for Ryunosuke.
[Yasusada didn't know him very well, but it was clear how much value he placed on the honor of his sword. Regardless of what his mental state might've been, he doesn't think Kazuma would've discarded those values.
He sighs, though.]
I don't know what will happen if it affects someone who doesn't think that way, though.

[ Not that it's always easy or possible to be straightforward, but it's a more ideal situation. As ideal as anything involving murder is, anyway. ]
But I suppose the Prism doesn't care for anything like that.

[ She has no idea who or how many it'll affect, but the odds are great that someone with fewer scruple can be led to murder. ]
And with the way things are set up, it makes us more reactionary than preventative.
[ She is trying to think of ways that could stymie the possible damage, but i, ara, am head empty every day after work. ]
