Yes, there were deaths, but the entire affair just...reeks of poor planning and arrogance. I've spent some time with Narukami-san, the supposed leader, and I'm actually rather good friends with another person who was on the trip. Hanamura Yosuke-kun.

[A breath.]

Narukami-san is a mess of emotion, much the same as I was after the raids, but he seems just...like he doesn't understand why what he did was stupid. He took children into danger, and that just strikes me as strange. Not to mention the people I know what did go were primarily not exactly...warriors or survivalists. Every single one of them are from the city. Does that not strike you as a strange choice?
