[Discomfiting information - all of it - for what Uri knows about the future. Before he died, he told Kenny that their world would face an unmitigated calamity. He won't even begin to pretend that the inheritance of his power is the cause - it's the only power that could wreak the destruction like he foresaw.

[But he doesn't know who "he" is. Frieda has died. He knows that much. It cuts a hole into his heart; a deep sadness fills his eyes.

[What adds up is devastating, but Maruki doesn't have it all right...

[He speaks softly, slowly, but with due certainty.]

Time becomes malleable - that's true. I know a great deal about the past, and what I can of the future. I don't know the man you speak of though.

If he knows me, that means he inherited my power; by the same token, I know every man and woman that held it before me. [All the way back to Ymir Fritz' devoured spine; in the Paths, she was Uri's slave.

[He resents this.]

For all you know, Dr. Maruki, I've learned one thing about the man you speak of.

[Someone capable of rejecting the First King's ideology and revealing the truth - someone without royal blood.

[Therefore...]

Tell me. He is the one that brings my world to ruin, isn't he?
