But Aurelian isn't dead? He's poisoned?
This post is actually really confusing to me - the dead were Cubey, Ekko and Rugrat
Ratchet has claimed the kill on Rug - which makes it quite likely that Ratchet is the vig - and is being let to live to create the plausibility that Ratchet is the mafia claiming a kill - but then there's one unaccounted for death - which wouldn't make sense. UNLESS - mafia has extra killing power, which I think they had in the previous game? So maybe it is not outside the realm of possibility.
IF the above theory is true and Ratchet is a Mafia extra killing power - then that would assume in your presented world
@Magic that Ratchet and Ultra are scumbuddies in this game - is that something you believe to be the case?
And why do you think they focused on silencing the voices of those against Ultra specifically, and not anyone else?
