“While the extent of the criminal gang known as the Teardrops' influence was never fully uncovered, the charges levied against Matteo Casiano were enough to earn him a death sentence from the judge of the time, A Protector Of Law And Order, or Apollo as he was known.

The years pass, but you never stop visiting. The Memorial is beautiful, befitting the founders of the Architects, depicting Guinevere and Moonlight prominently. It stands at the heart of your new city and thousands pass it every day. You sit on the bench and remember. It's been years but you can still remember clearly the plays Moonlight used to host.

You think they'd be proud of the city you created together.
