[Thankfully, there are only one or two more run-ins that are easily taken care of. At least, physically, for Luke. Once they reach the Sector, Luke sets the girl down, and she looks at the two of them with a long look of gratitude before she turns and runs, and an older woman who looks somewhat similar to her runs toward the child and gathers her up in her arms.

Luke has to smile a little as he leans his hands on his knees and pants lightly.]

And these... are Malnosso?

[Seeing the girl reunited with what he assumes is her mother brings a slight smile to Yuri's face as well, for a few moments. It's quickly replaced by a look of neutrality, though -- mostly because he knows there are many others waiting here, hoping to have a reunion like that with their currently unaccounted-for loved ones.]

... Apparently. It's a little difficult to associate them with some of the trash we've dealt with in the past, though. These guys seem a lot less ... evil.

It's a lot easier to think they're just... faceless things, huh? Maybe we're just thinking about them all wrong...

[Once Luke's caught his breath, he straightens up and stares at the citizens who are there, scared and nervous, some still looking for others who were left behind in the city. Even bad guys have people to love and care for and reasons behind their actions; at least, most do.

He purses his lips, then turns to start his way down the hallway. He just has to keep telling himself that all of this killing is for the people he's leaving in the safety of the sector.]

Let's keep moving! There're still a lot of them back there.

Maybe ...

[... Or maybe these aren't the same people who used to taunt and insult the village, in the past. Maybe just seeing them having families and being helpless against the onslaught brought by the Third Party is just putting things into a different perspective for him.

... Dammit. Things like this were the reasons why he didn't want to learn to much about his enemies.

But there were much, much better times to think about this, so when Luke mentions heading back out--]

Right!

[--he follows. Who knows how many people are out there that still need their help? Malnosso or not, Yuri just doesn't have it in him to ignore the helpless -- even if some of them may be amongst those he swore to take revenge against. As almost conflicting as it feels to be doing this, his thoughts on the matter would have to wait, for now.]
