[Action]

[Naoya and Dilandau are safely behind bars in the tunnels, secured and locked away with no weapons.   And right now he made sure to take every key to the prisons and secure the entrance with a padlock of his own.  It should be strong enough to hold anyone attempting to break them out for now. 

First thing's first.  He needs to track down the woman named Yuzu that Naoya spoke to.  She did not sympathize with him, but knows of him and his weapon system.  Possessing Dilandau's COMP, he will actively seek her out for questioning and follow up on any leads he can.]

[Voice]

[After speaking with Yuzu and following up where the leads take him, Batman will reluctantly open a voice communication.  Someone has to make the announcement.   He's not much of a talker and he's never been good with people.  But it needs to be done.]

Attention, citizens of Luceti.  Dilandau and Naoya have been detained in the murder of Kohaku, a fellow citizen of Luceti.   They will remain in custody until such a time that the people of this village agree on a just punishment or until they are properly tried by a court of law.   That is all.

...They will pay their debt to society. When society determines what that debt rightfully is.

Society unfit to make such decisions. Easily corrupted by fear or greed. Juries threatened or bribed, criminals escape. Perpetuates cycle of violence. Captors should decide, not public whose opinions are altered easily.

[...You are promptly getting filed away into the "potential threat to peace" folder.]

...What you suggest is little better than the blood feuds of an era long past. Law exists to prevent that sort of barbarism.

Politicians, stuffing pockets, passing whatever laws people will pay them to. Jail cells feature revolving doors, letting criminals go free too soon. Juries easily corrupted. Law too inefficient in current state, needs repair.

The law is not perfect. But it is what it is. Justice can't be found in the magazine of a gun.

Prefer bare hands. Easier to interrogate suspects with.

[...That's unsettling, but not that Batman shows it. He does the same thing... but maybe that's why it's so bothersome. The question is... where is this man's line? Batman's going to have to inform the League of this man.]

The mask. It's an image of the Roscharch inkblot test.

Correct. Also namesake.

[...and he finally gets a good look at the picture.]

You're... No. Impossible.

You'll find very little is impossible here.

[He ignores that, continuing on his fragmented rant.]

Fictional character. Relic of Depression era. Short run, cancelled after Minutemen formed. Referenced in first Nite Owl's biography. Shouldn't exist. Can not exist. Doesn't make sense.

[...This is a good place for Batman to take his exit. He'll leave this masked man to chew on this development and close his journal.]
