Only a mother's love endures", solely so that Silvio would be dependent on her forever.

** While some were skeptical about the episodic nature of the game. Many felt it would be rushed, or every level wouldn't be worth it. When Paris came out, everyone was shocked to see how mind mindbogglingly complex just a single mansion was- when Sapizena came out, people were astonished at how ''huge'' the damn town was, and many have become angry that the game is episodic, not because of any principles, but because these two levels are so damn good that they want more ''immediately''. Considering the backlash the game faced, this was a good thing.

The fact it can also be used as a weapon of tyranny seems to have genuinely not occurred to him.
