Well, with certain incidents that have been troubling her ever since. Which is why, if someone sits on a bench next to this seventeen-year-old, she might speak up, troubled and thoughtful.

Ah, a cop! And not one she knows, which means there's less chance of him having heard about the mess from Clay. So, a neutral party - which is good.

Still, she can't help continuing to be concerned. After all, aren't people supposed to feel remorse for killing, especially when... She hangs her head a little and mutters, "What about if you're not thinking of self-defense when you do so? If your life is in danger, but what you're thinking is this guy is responsible for all the tragedy in this town? Or does that not change anything?"

"...Normally, I would say that the justice system is in place to deal with trash such as that." Katsuya gives the young lady a sympathetic look. Sounds like he's not nearly as black and white about justice as he looks.

"But. I've been in a situation where the law could not stop responsible parties of destruction. I've killed to protect my city. My world. Not just monsters. People. And I still feel as though I'd do it again. With even less hesitation. The only thing to keep in mind, is to watch that you don't become what it is you're fighting."

The unavoidable truth of fighting evils and the thing that keeps him awake at night most often.
