@Maki,

To me, the sudden onset of MDK on the streets of Vale and in the halls of Beacon Academy was clearly signposted by the fact they had an off-screen cold-blooded murder in the first few minutes of volume 2. The time has come, in my view, to set the stage and the dark tone for the struggle to come, much as J K Rowling did in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone with the detention in the Forbidden Forest.
