Slap in a flash back cutscene of various losses, end with a flash of Mr Enigma to set him up as, perhaps not an antagonist, but someone we're (or at least Fray) not to happy with... Then we walk away with a determined, but angry expression... Not smiling...

A smile better suits a hero... Hows that for a requiem?

Ideally though, I want "A Requiem for Heroes" to be an indication that perhaps there are no heroes in war... So far though this doesn't even feel like a war, and what we do have is incredibly black and white... Characters like Maxima just happily defecting doesn't help matters there, nor does Black Rose... My only hope is that perhaps Solus doesn't intend for Garlemald to use Black Rose at all, and when we finally return we do so to heroes who aren't quite as spotless as when we left them... I'm really not sure I can see this game going for that dark a route though... And still, that's 5.0, not 4.5, but maybe "A Prelude to a Requiem for Heroes" was too much of a mouthful...
