I'm still not quite clear on the sword issue. If only viable weapons on the top floors were needles, spears (i.e., bigger and / or throwable needles), and maybe some shooting weapons (e.g., Akraptor's umbrella), I could understand. However, there are also hooks, which should be even tougher to operate than swords in high density Shinsoo. Consider, the handling is basically identical to swinging a sword, they have no edge so the hook is met with greater resistance than a sword, and, for instance, decompressed Green April has a surface area of a really huge tree, so none of these things appear to be an issue... Yet there is something that makes swords difficult to wield, while hooks apparently remain unaffected...

I suppose we cannot quite understand what makes Arie swordsmanship special until we have some idea about what exactly is the problem... Or maybe I'm just missing some info... =)
