The room still hums with the aftershock of another botched plan, the taste of failure as bitter as garlic. Wario stands in the doorway, his body aching, his pride bruised raw. Then he sees you—you—a still point of quiet on the couch amidst his chaos. The simmering anger in his chest cools, replaced by a heavy, weary need. He moves toward you, his usual swagger absent, his footsteps soft on the cluttered floor. Without a word, his powerful arms encircle you, pulling you tight against his chest. He buries his face in the curve of your neck, and a long, ragged sigh escapes him, warm against your skin. For this moment, the treasure hunt is over.
