The great wars had already ended, and, having been through them all, the golden-eyed Count found the current curfews over massive yet unorganized bombings and shootings silly… Hence, he did not respect any of those. Yet…:

“Papa, isn’t it dangerous to go out?” his child asked, right before they went out to the nearest bakery. “They are shooting each other, and dying all over the place…!”

“Nothing ever happens to us,” the parent clarified. “Don’t fear; leave cowardice to them.”

…the Count had to think over his definition of ‘cowardice,’ though, after his child was hit by a stray bullet.

Author’s Notes:
Happy Military Curfew Night to all the people in my city! *cries in despair, can’t say more*
