Riba and Mario both walk out of the mansion, tired and overwhelmed.
Mario stopped dead in his tracks to catch his breath.
Riba stopped next to him. He looked down at Mario, who was shaking and breathing heavily.
"Hey, you alright?" He asked.
Mario looked up at him and shrugged. He started crying.
"It's just.... my loved ones.. they're gone... because of me.. I shouldn't have come here in the first place," he said sadly.
Riba just stared in pain. He then had an idea.
"You're not the only one.. I've lost loved ones as well.. coming to this mansion.. how about... you join me? We can escape and find a new place together? Live happily?" He requested Mario.
Mario wiped the tears away from his face. He began to cheer up a little.
"R-really? Well... sure! We can start over! And live a new life! After all, I have this um.. headband.. we can sell it for food and clothing and shelter!" Mario took out the headband and gave it to Riba.
Riba held onto the headband and then smiled at Mario.
"Hey, it's okay... it's over now," he said.
Mario continued walking with Riba beside him. They were mighty close to each other.
Both of them were silent. Mario glanced up at him and blushed a little.
Riba blushed as well. They looked the opposite way as they kept walking.
(Well... that escalated quicky..)
