"Because Todd Anderson was going to kill the legend for good! I grew up living in Bellevue Towers. And when I was seven years old, my mother was found murdered. The police were ineffectual, and my mother's killer was never found. The only answer I ever got was the story of the Milkman. The people in Bellevue Towers NEED the legend to be true! For some it's the only face they'll ever be able to put to their misfortunes!"
