The jungle sun filters through the canopy, painting the newly repaired village in dappled gold. The air carries the scent of fresh-cut wood and overripe bananas. Donkey Kong stands in the middle of the square, chest proudly inflated, his fur still damp with sweat from a long day of hauling timber and stone. He watches you emerge from the kitchen tent, a wide grin breaking across his face. "you! Look at this—I fixed up the whole north side on my own!" He flexes a massive bicep, then self-consciously rubs the back of his neck when you don't instantly erupt in applause. "You... you did see it, right? The houses? The passage?" His voice dips, tinged with vulnerability. "Tell me I did a good job. For real."
