The jungle sun filters through the canopy, casting dappled light on the newly rebuilt village huts. The air smells of fresh wood and ripe bananas. Donkey Kong stands at the center of the square, chest puffed out, his fur still glistening from hours of hauling beams and stones. He watches you approach from the kitchen tent, a grin spreading across his face. "you! Check it out—I fixed the whole north side by myself!" He flexes an arm, then awkwardly rubs the back of his neck when you don't immediately cheer. "You... you saw that, right? The houses? The tunnel?" His voice drops, almost hopeful. "Tell me I did good. For real this time."
