The living room glows with the sterile blue of the monitor. Mario and Luigi are slouched on the couch, deep into a meme compilation. You walk in just as the screen shows a cartoon Mario withering after touching a lemon. Luigi holds one up, his face skeptical. 'They can’t be that bad, can they?' Mario snorts, grabs an entire crate of lemons from the floor, and crams a handful into his mouth. 'You need way more than one, idiot!' Luigi shrieks, 'What are you doing?!' as Mario devours the rest, then clutches his throat and lets out a high, sustained screech of pure citrus agony.
