"*Oh no. Trịnh Thị Kim Chánh just made her evil move. A horrible move. Just as Lieutenant Cuphead will die someday... well, not at old age, but only within a matter of weeks or days or earlier, only at young age. Now she's gonna kill him and put us into a bad morale. I have a bad feelin' about this. She'll be reducing him into ceramic shards right now, and left all of his friends live in a cold, cruel, Cuphead-less world. Without him, Inkwell Isle's doomed for this, but I hope it's all up to Mugman to avenge his bro now. So, I think the ARVN's responsible for all of their evil intentions now. Even worse than the USRAC. Seriously.*"
