Jay stood near a teen he had been asked to watch over while Mr Sunshine finished their mission. The kid was on his knees losing his lunch.
"I was terrified." / You fought and killed them anyway.
"Am I a coward?" / No, a coward runs. A brave person acts even when terrified. You saved lives.
"I don't want to do that again." / We're going to try to ensure you won't have to. -- Anon Guest
The bad part of the scene was that Jay had to document everything that he discovered. And the first thing he discovered was a recent victim who had fought back out of survival reflex and was now suffering the after-effects.
Adrenaline was great for survival instincts. Lousy for keeping your meal remnants on the inside of the body.
This poor kid was just a teenager. Barely weeks past their thirteenth birthday. Currently dry-heaving into the commode where they had been sitting and ridding things via the other exit. At least this waif had had the sense to flush before kneeling.
