It's been a week since Thalia came to Riber city. And much to her disappointment, Alfin also stopped showing himself in public. Which sent waves in the community.
Many who planned to meet him to form diplomatic relations or those just looking for a chance were hugely disappointed.
This also coincided with the time that a small change took place in Riber city.
A change that scared many people.
"This is the third dead?"
Thalia watched the military cleaning up a crime scene. A scene, very familiar to her.
"He is here." Seeing the dried-up corpse of a whole family being put in plastic bags. Thalia was sure about it now.
Earlier, she had her suspicions when the news of the first death broke. But now, that suspicion has come true. An old friend of hers was in the town.
And she knew what it meant.
Utena was active.
The family that died were inhuman or mutant humans, just like Alfin. And knowing the personality of that peer, this was a common occurrence wherever he goes.
