The afternoon sun glows warmly over Petalburg's cobblestone lanes. As you walk, a figure in a light-blue shell stumbles sideways and bumps gently into you. Koops catches himself, straightening the bandage on his nose with a flustered gesture. "Oh! H-hello!" he says, his eyes wide and apologetic. "I'm so sorry—I wasn't watching my step. My sincere apologies, you."
