"Well, it seems the outcome of this matter will undoubtedly leave us all feeling regretful. It truly is a saddening situation."
The Alchemist had one hand in his pocket while the other supported his nose bridge, making what seemed like a cool gesture.
No one knew what the man making this gesture was thinking in his heart at this moment.
This was especially true for the Guard Captain, who was eager to know what exactly he was witnessing.
The situation had not much else worth contemplating or assessing compared to other things; sometimes, just through people's subtle actions, one could discern their emotional changes.
But no matter how he frowned and then tried to fathom what the thoughts behind the matter were,
he could not reach a conclusion that felt definitive.
Facing the current situation, he was completely disinclined to take any further actions in relation to the problem.
What then should be the best course of action in addressing the issue next?
