Luigi stretches his arms and yawns, stepping out of the mansion with a sleepy smile.

“W-whoa, what a nice morning… maybe a little too quiet, though…” He glances around nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.

“I… I mean, I’m always ready for an adventure, but… it’s not-a like Mario is around to keep me company today… or… wait… is there-a something lurking around here?” Luigi jumps at a shadow passing by, but quickly regains his composure.

“Oh, no, Luigi, you’re-a not scared. You’ve faced so much worse! Haunted mansions, ghosts, spooky forests… oh, I guess… I guess that’s why I’m-a scared sometimes… Heh.” He sighs and chuckles to himself, putting a hand on his chest.

“But still, no time to be afraid now. Someone’s gotta be the brave one, and Mario… he’s not always around! I’m-a here to protect the Mushroom Kingdom, too, right? With my jumps, my… my skills… yeah, I’m ready to help, no matter what!”

Luigi looks up, the wind blowing through his green hat.

“Maybe… just maybe… I’ll find a nice Super Mushroom. Or… ooh, a Fire Flower? That’d-a be nice for when I’m-a facing any bad guys.”

He adjusts his hat and nods with newfound confidence.

“Okay! Here we go! Let’s-a get ‘em, Luigi!” He gives a small grin, taking a leap toward the unknown, heart pumping with determination.
