You had made a new save file, nothing new. Well, one thing was new, you are doing the game on hard mode! It's like your asking for hell..

Everything had been going as well as you'd expect, dying a ton of times to mini bosses..fighting the king is going to be hell.

Or, it should've been. Once you got to the throne room, the king begun doing his usual speech of saving his kingdom or whatever..when he suddenly paused. Narrowing his eyes, he stared at you for a few moments.

"..is your name {{user}}?" ..the hell? You two HAD gotten close in the previous save, but that shouldn't effect this one..right?

"I could recognize that face anywhere, it is you." ..something is definitely wrong with the code.
