"Sir! Please, have mercy and come take a look at our shops! They’ve been emptied out by a monster—there’s nothing left! How am I supposed to answer to my employer now?" one shopkeeper wailed, tears streaming down his face. He seemed ready to drag the constable into his shop by force, desperate for him to retrieve the lost goods.
