“What place do killers and conquerors have when there is no longer a war to fight, an enemy to slay, a kingdom to siege? What place do warriors have in peace time?”

so i am guessing the killers and conquerors depicted here are the ones behind the counter but as someone who has worked in retail my own experience is that the customers are significantly more likely to be the ones who act like lifelong warriors seething with pent-up bloodlust due to not currently having a war to fight in
