> > The only major problem Anna has right now is she hasn't really learned to consider collateral damage. That's something which comes from doing the hero thing a lot for a long time. Ironically, that's also why Lara Night is more surgical and careful about collateral damage than Yuki - she's been doing this longer and has more bitter experience.
