"There we go now. Nice and tight. We wouldn't want our sheep roaming away now, would we?"
Groaning, Wally slowly opened his eyes. Once he came back to his senses, it didn't take him long to realize that he was tied up. Now panic began to settle in as he saw the figure from before in front of him.

"Yes," Foofa chuckled, "that is my name little sheep...I see you followed all of Charles' tapes. I must admit I am...honored you came all the way down here to visit me."
"Visit you?" Wally asked, confused. "I...I-I didn't even know you were-"
"It almost makes what I'm about to do seem....cruel," she sighed sadly, shaking her head, before looking back up at him. "But the players must honor their saviors. I must have them notice me."

"I...I can't believe it's you. But.....I don't understand...why did you come back?" Foofa demanded. "Why would you come back to the one place you were always afraid of after what happened to you? This place has been abandoned ever since we came to life and do you not realize what has become of us....and of me?!" She showed Wally her face, which had the left side of her mouth exposing her teeth and her left eye was black with a white pupil. Wally's eyes widened in horror.

"I've been trapped like this for so, so long, and no one has come to help fix me! But....you're here now." Her voice was calmer now. "Thanks to you, I will finally be freed from this...prison. This...nightmarish, dark, abyss I call a curse."
