An Incident [May 1; Video]

[consider8]

[Private to the Troll Hive]

[A smiling Aranea flips the camera to herself. She's waiting in line for the cashier and seems to have taken this as a good opportunity to address the guide.]

Hi Di and Sign! I was in the neighborhood and remembered that we were out of some medical supplies. So I took it upon myself to procure some. Hehe. Since I'm here, do you know of anything else I might be--

Hey, what's that you got there? [And voice comes from behind the counter.]

Huh... [Aranea looks away to address him.] Oh, it's just some supplies for me and my--

You're one of those "guests," huh? Well, you better get out of here. We won't take your credit.

Oh, um... but I was here just a few days ago--

We're changing our store's policy. So just, get out of here, okay, horned freak?

Okay. Sure. There's no need to get excited. I'm leaving.

[The camera shakes visibly as Aranea sets her mirror inside a handbag. In the process of doing so...]

[Video to all -- from Aranea's bag]

Just where do you think you're going with that?

Oh, um. I was just going to put it away.

Liar! You were trying to steal it!

I did not lie, nor am I trying to steal! In fact if I were to attempt to leave right now I would be stealing!

Little bitch. You want to steal my stuff now that we're not serving guests!

No, really! I was just--let go of me!!

You're not so tough without your partner, huh...

[There's a second of struggling and not a second longer the sound of fist contacting face...]

No, it wasn't. This was the second time. The last time I came here was a8out a few days ago, when I felt like getting a few small things for myself. I saw the same individual then, too, however he was only mildly agitated 8y that point. I would not have assumed he was capa8le of harming me, then.

[A brief adjust of her glasses.]

I think that will be plenty. Thank you.

You have my apologies that this occurred. No matter the circumstances pervading Death City, Shibusen has no tolerance for violence against faculty, students and Guests. The matter will be investigated further and, should you decide to press assault and battery charges against this man, the proper actions will be taken.

...But first, please take as much time as you need to recover. If you need anything more, don't hesitate to contact me.

Well, yes, the law needs to do what it is designed to do. I do not see this as a decision of my own choice, 8ut rather that if this is deemed a significant offense worthy of significant justice that is more than enough for me.

My point is, I do not 8elieve in retri8ution, no matter what governance calls it.

I am gladdened to hear a8out the law protecting people, however.
