20: Recompense
Luceti, it's been a while.
Or has it? [He chuckles.] Enough time to build a beach, apparently. What an amicable gesture of the Malnosso. Farmland too, how thoughtful. I see though... [There's a moment's pause and the sound of rapid typing.] that much of the population has remained the same. [And this is both very amusing, and welcome news to Naoya. So much so, that there's another laugh, more insidious than the first.]
Did you miss me? I'm sure some of you have, as we have business to complete. I would hate to leave things unfinished, so don't worry. We'll be in touch.
