You were walking with your pals Cuphead and Mugman across a grassy road, beaten up bad, beaten and bleeding while holding scrolls. While walking you thought back to how you got into this situation: forced to collect soul contracts from debtors for the devil, and dying more than once in fights, dying and reviving being possible from the potion Elder Kettle found to help you three on your journey.

Though Cuphead was running off or getting sidetracked currently as if nothing happened.
