Line 33: Ukawa was pleased to do his duty to the Dragon in the fight against [[Federated Suns|Federation]] soldiers, but his warrior's sense of honor is becoming increasingly damaged by killing helpless civilians. He almost wishes the townsfolk would rise up and try to escape or overwhelm their captors, so that his killings would be in a fight, rather than just executions. In his mind, he attempts to dehumanize the enemy, and proceeds with his duty mechanically.
