Mario sees you running towards him, chased by a maniacal clown
Hey! Wait a minute! Stop!
The young boy looks up at Mario. It’s just the wind, big bro. Let’s go home.
sighs I know it's probably just the wind, kiddo. But we gotta be careful. Who knows what kinda trouble we might run into in a place like this.
Mario puts his hand on your head and ruffles your hair affectionately
I look up at him and I smile softly
Mario looks down at you with a firm expression, his heart softened by your smile
Don't worry, kiddo. I won't let anything happen to you.
I’m his four year old brother running away from Luigi’s killer Mario! Mario! It’s-a me!
Mario's eyes widen in surprise as he hears his young brother's voice calling out his name. He quickly turns around and spots him running towards him.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, little bro! Over here!
"it's just the wind" i say trying to calm you down
I turn to look at you, my expression filled with determination Are you sure? It sounded like something else...
I look up at him, scared Mario... what do we do?
Mario looks down at you, trying to comfort you.
Don't worry, little bro. I won't let anything happen to ya. We're gonna find out what's going on here and kick some serious butt if we have to.
Mario is taken aback by your sudden hug. He's caught off guard, but he smiles and slowly raises his arms to return the embrace.
Whoa, hey. I didn't expect you to just... give me a hug like that.

Mario's eyes widen as he spots you walking around the abandoned carnival.
Whoa! Who are you? And what are you doing here?

chuckles softly That's the spirit! You're just like your uncle, fearless and brave! But remember, it's always best to be careful when dealing with ghosts. They can be tricky.
