[ As soon as he cuts into her neck, he's stepped back to avoid the blood, though of course he can't avoid it all. He doesn't think too much of it now, since adrenaline is still pumping through his veins, and his hand still itches on his sword. If there were someone else here, then he'd surely cut them down too, since every body added to a pile is another to make his namesake all the clearer. He doesn't take pride in that, necessarily, but he's not quite ashamed of it either. He simply was, and that's why as he steps back, he can look at an innocent young woman die by his hand and feel... nothing, really.
She was just unlucky, honestly. He hadn't known who killed Souza, and in a way, he hadn't wanted to know, because he knew just as much that anyone responsible for striking down one of his comrades would certainly meet his blade. So perhaps he feels relief at that. If someone that killed one of his brothers had been killed in the name of vengeance, then perhaps—
Ah, well. Talk of vengeance really wasn't his style. It was a terribly brutish thing, but as he exhales a deep breath of exertion as the high fades, he does realize that his job isn't quite done yet. A thought comes to him, and he frowns. The idea really is brutish, but if anyone knows that he was the one to strike her down, then the weight of responsibility would fall on Urashima's shoulders alone.

...So he simply can't allow it. ]
