7/26/2024: Using the dead space on this trading card to etch personal writings I may not write elsewhere. Mimi and Mari took me out to the petting zoo today. I had a lot of fun, surprisingly.

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...
