That's unfortunately the way of things around here, from what I've noticed. People are absolutely going to get hurt, but the best we can hope for is that it doesn't bleed too much into our lives—unless we want it to, I suppose.

At tanabata, his daughter [they point at the screen, watching the wolf's announcement replmay] was kidnapped to send a message to Toraguma, the leader of the Shuten faction, and it looks like it was one of the long-time enemies of Toraguma who did it. [they aren't bored by what they're saying, but they're reciting it all just like it's facts of the world—especially this next part.] Strength, intimidation... I'm sure what the wolf would claim is love, that's all it is.
