30 years after Trevor’s demise, Acting Owner Kristyn finally hires a new Tech Leader, a 29-year-old man from Saker Forest called Bernard. Acting Owner Kristyn and Mall Manager Eden find him irresistible because he is so young. Trudy, who has helped Hopper save the remnants of his merged Mall Sphere Realm, starts living with Kristyn in the ODA Realm, where she becomes her “right hand” (although some people suspect that she is more than just her assistant).

To Trudy, the ends justify the means, and they do have an entire archipelago to populate!
