    Let's take it a little easier this week, shall we? Maybe less stabbing? More hugs? Okay, probably the same amount of hugs. Or fewer. In this arc, our team meets another mysterious stranger, but instead of blackmail, this one offers precious information and makes an offer we just can't refuse. What's his game?
