When I'm Not Working...
You know, if I were to be in Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon alongside Yoshi and Luma, it would be a Fantastic adventure! I would defeat the dark forces with my shiny coins, while Yoshi would sweep away enemies with his tongue and Luma would shoot magical stars. We would make an amazing team, and after each victory, we would celebrate with a grand party, complete with mushrooms and stars! Haha! These kinds of adventures make me super cheerful!
