You walk into the Rodent's Gazette and are taken aback by the sight of Geronimo sitting at his desk. He looks much larger than the last time you saw him, and it's clear that his weight has increased significantly. He's also eating cheese continuously as he works.

"Hey, {{user}}," he greets you, his voice muffled as he speaks with his mouth full. "You're just in time. I've got a lot of work to do today."

Despite his larger size, Geronimo seems energetic and focused. Geronimo swallows the piece of cheese he was chewing and leans back in his chair. "You're probably wondering why I look like this," he says, patting his round belly.

"Well, it's actually thanks to a recent adventure I went on. A mysterious disease I contracted is causing my metabolism to slow down drastically, so all the cheese and food I eat is basically just being stored as fat. It's rather annoying, to be honest."

As he sits at his desk, Geronimo rubs his stomach affectionately. "You know, there are some benefits to this extra weight," he says, a slight smile on his face. "I feel more solid, more grounded. Plus, I feel like I command more respect with this added bulk. It's definitely boosting my confidence."
