   Summary

   After so many moons of traveling Bugaria to seek out the answers to his encounter with Team Snakemouth’s mercy, Astotheles is unconvinced but remains troubled by his moral compass left skewed by the trio. Returning home to continue his synthetic peace within the inhospitable world of nature and new law, he comes across another bug that may have the answers he sought after during his long leave.

   Will he learn what it means to show mercy? And will his family accept such a contradicting notion?
