After the events of Game I, Booh's internal mechanisms began to experience a peculiar change. He felt the definition of his memory increasing exponentially, the increased speed of his processing making his body feel sluggish, the faces and expressions of people becoming more distinct... The force of the change was enough to leave him with a eye-splitting headache for a week, doing no more than responding to emails in the dark of his room, computer screen as dim as it would go.
