After an eight year absence, World seems to have returned... And not alone.

Nothing to fear! Universe will make him wish that he'd stayed gone. The ruling class has forgotten who they are here to serve. They will get what they deserve soon enough.

Speaking of the ruling class... I've received a letter from the Knight. It reads, "Greetings from the friend of who you should not have killed." Should we be concerned?

What's wrong? Are you all right?
 
Oh... That. You weren't supposed to find that...
You do not recognize the bodies in the water.
