"Why are you here drinking and crying?"
"I had to take up a blade and kill."
"Why did you have to kill?"

"You got to know them," said the barmaid. "Many who come here say that's a rookie mistake."
"Proud to be a rookie, then," said the killer. "They were people too. Assholes, I admit. Dedicated to causing trouble for defenceless folks, but..." they took another swig. Wiped their face. "Still people. Ma always told me that violence is the first resort of fools, and the only thing that works when everything else has failed."
