"Darn it... no wonder they are so lifelike and detailed!"
Seems like protag is really lacking in empathy. He sounds more disappointed these are not finely carved statues than concerned/shocked/angry that these are the remains of real people.
If only Maura is switching to the rear then it means both Gaile and Sharina are fighting in the vanguard. I thought only Sharina was the vanguard and both of them will support/fight from rear positions because they're supposed to work best that way, guess I was wrong. Protag is definitely a vanguard fighter despite what's on paper, and he has shown that before.
