[Aoba's used to violence, he'd set up Blue Square so long ago because his capacity to care for other humans just isn't enough to include compassion. Or another way of saying it is he doesn't like other people. But even to someone like him the clean efficient way Mikado wields the knife, like he has every right in the world, like it doesn't excite him--the way Mikado smiled the first time--is enough to be kind of disturbing.]

[The man jerks when the knife enters his skin, but he barely has time to wake before he's dying.]
