There are things stirring. Nobody is happy with what happened, and enough blame those two to do something about it. But those two have friends too, as you've seen. If something erupts, it's not going to be pretty.
Some of the dissonance is coming from the police force. Unless Alphonse and Raven pull it together, it's going to crumble. Keeping the girl in their ranks will look bad on them- kicking her out will undoubtedly make several other members drop out as well. It's not as simple as dropping out, anymore- children want to play at politics and they wind up killing off half their population and ruining their government. I've seen it happen before. [Idly, glancing off.] Young princes, eager to impress their betrothed, going into unfounded wars, ruining their economy... the world is wasted on the young.
That's part of the problem. I'm very comfortable letting Adstringendum lapse into our previous comfortable anarchy, but if it does it's imperative that the transition be as non-violent as possible. The dissolution of the police force might be for the best... as long as it isn't seen as permission to start an all-out war.
What happened was just as you said, the mistakes of children, but despite the consequences, it isn't anything we haven't seen before. Half of the people clamouring so violently have made attempts to breach the inner city, for example. They were lucky enough not to tread on the same mines, but it was done with the exact same recklessness. Every time the animus announce an event, there's a twerp or two that needs to chatter with them, to insult them or demand explanations or justification. Even Undertaker went and had tea with one of them, while fire rained from the sky
( ... )
The majority of the population is under twenty-five, with most of those being under twenty. They don't think- they're impulsive and rash and they ruin things. [Yuca 'hm's for a moment in thought.]
If they die, they'll just come back with revenge on their minds. But what am I saying, anyway? [He laughs.] I want them to be reckless. The sooner the Animus consume this world, the better.
[He yawns.]
Sure they work together on the surface, but didn't you notice the death threats posted to the network yesterday?

I'm not sure whether to make my stance on the question public.

How is our dear doctor? What does he think of all of the young, silly things?

He's already onto something new.
