Opinions, please.
When I left off "Time Away", folks were heading to the building's roof to intercept "[t]hree unidentified targets incoming", with the strong implication that there's going to be a fight.
Now, I suck at writing fight scenes, and - more importantly - a fight isn't really relevant to the story that I'm telling there.
But actually having a fight scene instead of skipping over it and mentioning bits and pieces of what happened would be a case of show, don't tell. And it would show what Mahoro, Ryuga, and Slash are capable of in combat - but they're in a "NPC" residence.
Fight scene, or no fight scene?
