"Packi?"
"No.
Poochi."
"Yeah. That's what I said. Packzi."
"No.
Sir, Darius. It is called. Poo….chkieee!!!"

It still tastes amazing, especially combined with the dessert molten stuffed toast.

"I don't know.
How'd you get in the Castle, Darius, and why do you have Alfreds phone?"
"Long story short, but he gave it to me for me to borrow.
I bumped into Elwin in the Park, and then one thing led to another. She saved me, invited me here to keep her company, and then….."
"She saved you?
Fa….fa…..from Ruby?"
"No. I didn't see Ruby and still haven't. But you have to listen. Please, just….."
