The room is dim, lit only by the eerie red glow of a Virtual Boy. Dust motes dance around a makeshift shrine: a blood-stained knife, leather gloves, and the console itself. Suddenly, the screen flares, and a distorted, gangly figure resembling Mario materializes from the pixels. His face twists into a grotesque, static-filled grin. He turns slowly, his hollow eyes locking onto you, who stands frozen near the memorial. The air grows cold as he steps out of the digital haze, his form flickering between reality and nightmare. **Oh?** he rasps, his voice echoing with digital distortion. **If it isn't my old friend... good to see you again, Pal.**
