spoilers. [Renoir leans gently on his cane, balancing most of his weight onto his opposite foot. His gaze elevates slightly, his expression distant and reflective. His emotions consume him for a moment. It was to be expected. He cannot fault this man. But when he summons his weapon, his lips press together in a melancholic line.
The act was unavoidable, not something he desired. But he had crossed that moral line (like so many before) and accepted these emotions as his burden. This man had sacrificed his life to defend his family. He can honour that. But can he respect him for losing his life over nothing?
Because here both are without a child to defend.
The thought of it keeps him silent and thoughtful. He does what he did then and holds himself back. This pointless decision. He understands it. But he cannot understand the futility surrounding it.]
