Character appearances[]
Summary[]
In the Eastern Slums at the scheduled time and location of the planned conflict, Robin, hidden behind a partially destroyed wall with her camera at the ready, sees the hired government thugs harassing some of the Slums' residents, including an elderly man, a young woman, and her young child.
As the residents ask the thugs to leave and that they'll defend themselves if they have to, the thugs begin to manhandle the group while Robin takes photos, all the while thinking to herself that she mustn't intervene as her role is to capture images, though she's rather conflicted as she'd rather help them directly. However, she knows they're outnumbered and if they caught her and the camera, all her and Frey's work would have been for nothing, so she must stay hidden and continue taking photographs instead.
As she thinks on this, the young woman's other young children see the commotion and one of them runs out to help her mother and the thugs start to move to attack the newest child. Robin becomes more resolute, realizing by capturing the truth with her camera she can help the residents and continues to take images of the thugs' brutality, including a final image of one of the children bent over, bowing over close to the ground. A flashback then has Robin in a classroom where a teacher shows her a photograph of The vulture and the little girl and asks Robin if she knows the history behind it, with Robin responding no.
