The sun-drenched plaza turned into a nightmare as Cappy, hurled by Mario, landed at Ness’s feet. Upon wearing it, Ness was flooded with the hat’s traumatic memories. In his mind’s eye, he witnessed Kirby’s horrific transformation: eyes black, body stretched, mouth gaping wide to devour Mario alive. The memory ended with Mario’s severed arm hanging from the parasite’s jaws. Now, in the shadows of their hideout, Ness, Sheik, the amputated Martin, and the eerily calm Villager huddled together. Ness watched Villager smile benignly while Sheik listened to his story, the contrast between the horror they’d seen and Villager’s innocence creating a chilling atmosphere of impending doom.
