Siffrin's blade connects easily as the man completely ignores defense in favor of putting all his focus into bringing his pan down on that hatted head (6). The shift in the man's stance as he swings (6) mitigates the damage a little, but he has a bloody tear in his clothes now and his hit is slightly bounced off by said hat. Truly symmetry.
Behind Yoru, the axe embeds itself handily into a ladder -- one that the portly woman who was sneaking up behind them is apparently using as a makeshift shield at this point. There's a screech, though, as the axe bisects one of her hands used to hold the contraption (4), even as she refuses to let go. It's an axe-and-ladder contraption now as she's pinned to it. Regardless, it doesn't stop her advance as she charges in with surprising speed (14) to swing the ladder at Yoru's face.]
