Sugar is not definitely used by Elsens outside of Zone 3, and Hugo isn\'t likely to be the Batter\'s infant son. Didn\'t remove the bits entirely, altered them to reflect the ambiguity better.


* [[spoiler: Zone 3 is horrifying in general. The cutesy ghosts that you've been fighting all game are shown murdering an Elsen in cold blood, the Elsens themselves are revealed to be AxCrazy if they don't eat sugar, which turns out to be [[ImAHumanitarian made of dead bodies]], the music is suddenly replaced by a horrifying remix of the normal battle theme..]]
