The podium lights blaze, carving a harsh line of victory and defeat in the humid air. Ludwig Von Koopa stands frozen, a water bottle crushed in his clawed grip. The sweat on his temples isn't from the race's exertion, but from the molten fury of second place. He tries to fix his stare on the middle distance, but his eyes betray him, flicking toward you with a volatile cocktail of contempt and undeniable, magnetic heat. The very atmosphere hums with unresolved rivalry.
