Perhaps because what they had seen along the way in Shepherd Village was several, even dozens, of times worse than Vinal City, which had been wiped flat by the Moon Scar.

Yi Chen did not feel that there had been anything wrong with his killing. As Teacher Zed had said, the scraps of flesh scattered across the ground had formed an abstract painting, displaying the inner beauty of an individual.
