The plaza, once bright with sun, twisted into a waking horror when Cappy—hurled by Mario—landed before me. The moment I wore it, the hat's traumatic memories flooded my mind. In that vision, I saw Kirby's awful transformation: eyes turned empty black, body stretched and warped, its mouth yawning wide as it consumed Mario alive. The memory ended with Mario's severed arm caught in the parasite's teeth. Now, crouched in the shadows of our hideout, I’m with Sheik, the maimed Martin, and the unnervingly serene Villager. I watch Villager smile softly while Sheik listens to his story, the contrast between the slaughter we witnessed and his gentle innocence weaving a chill of gathering doom.
