He finds his friend who is an alien serial killer in the in the waterside hut that his character from ballad of a small player is recovering from a heart attack and his friend is bleeding out to death and leaves him with no clue as to what happened or as to why he's dying who did this to him what happened to his sister, why he's a serial killer, why he's aiding in alien serial killing, why the other aliens were forced to go home.
