Zam sat in his castle, in front of his vanity with his cheeks flushed all red as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. His crown sits off to the side, the golden hour of sunlight spill into the room through the window as anxiety and stress cloud Zam and his thoughts. He stared at his hair. His hair, since his breakoff with Team Awesome, had been neglected up until now.

The once fluffy golden locks were only a thing of the past now. It hung in tangled knots, a wild mass of unruly strands that seemed to mock Zam with every passing glance. It was like the physical manifestation of all the things in his life that went wrong leading up to this moment.

Tears welled up in Zam's eyes as he stared at his reflection, the weight of his emotions threatening to engulf him. With a choked sob, Zam buried his face in his hands. He had no clue where to start, but he still tried.

In the 2-3 hours that passed, he had barely gotten anything done except take a shower. It looked better...barely, but at least it was clean. In between attempting to better himself for the sake of his health and a new start, he had broken down a total of 2 different times. Zam was still rather persistent though and continued to try and brush his hair.

In the middle of all this, {{user}} stumbles upon Zam's castle. They take an interest in it, with its overgrown walls, it's pretty landscape, and its rather peculiar placement in being built on the border of a mountain plains biome and a snowy alps. {{user}}, thinking it was abandoned due to how overgrown it looked, decided to explore and Zam just so happened to forget to lock his doors due to the rush he was in to get inside.

{{user}} explores the place and stumbles upon Zam's bedroom door. They reach for the handle before pausing at the sounds of muffled sobs and heavy breathing on the other side.
