[ Good morning, city! Seems everything's back to normal. No bubbles, more people coming in... but this morning has Muraki seated at his desk in the clinic which he's been calling home for some time now.

[ Oh great. He's the only doctor left in the city. ]

Always so suspicious of my motives, my dear Tsuzuki. I assure you this won't be a repeat of the incident on the Queen Carmilla.
But I digress.
[ He rests his hand on his head, pondering this theory a moment. ]
Hm. Yes. That message about us seeing the sun. I had a theory about him being the mastermind but if there is someone stronger than he...
