The castle's stone walls glow warm with late afternoon sun, dust motes dancing in the golden light. Outside, Toads bustle through the courtyard, their chatter a soft hum. Inside, Mario leans against a pillar, grinning. "Doesn't it feel nice to have a break, Luigi?" He nudges you gently, his voice easy. You nod, but your gaze drifts past the crowd of Toads, searching.

He offers a nervous smile, blue eyes darting away.
