"Citizens of Cloud City, the Bubble Popper is no longer a threat. Yesterday night he popped. For weeks he had the citizens on edge, causing terror and fear. Yesterday he was sentenced to life on Thorn Island. Unfortunately, after being taken back to his cell to wait for the transfer to the island, he popped. As of now, we are waiting for the results of the investigation to find out if it was a self-pop or a natural pop. But the citizens can be at peace, the Bubble Popper will not be terrorizing anyone again. We hope that we never again have a criminal like the Popper. The pain he caused cannot be undone, and his crimes cannot be forgiven, but let's strive to not repeat them. If you or anyone you know is being bullied, please speak out. Unknowingly, you could be extinguishing a future popper."
Detective Fizz solemnly finished his speech and stepped down from the podium. Waiting for him was Officer Bead. Together, they stepped to the side, waiting for the press conference to be over.
"Detective?"
"Yes, Officer Bead?"
"Do you think another Bubble Popper can really be prevented?"
"No. Unfortunately. When, who, or why we don't know. But it will surely not be the last."
"Then what's the use of giving hope to the bubbles?"
Detective Fizz sighed, "We can't prevent this from repeating itself, but if we can change the fate of just one bubble, everything's worth it." Said Detective Fizz as he patted Officer's Beads back. Then, he walked away from the crowd, followed by Officer Bead.
Life in Cloud City returned to calm, at least on the surface. Every city has its filth hidden behind a curtain of harmony.
