Girl and Puffy return home after finishing a quest. They start unloading their loot and clothing.

Puffy: "We're back, Penguin!"

Girl: "What a great adventure, master!"

The two examine the loot. It's a bunch of cards, diskettes, a detached MATA_Bot head, various cables and other machines.

Girl calls to Penguin.

Girl: "Come check out the loot!"

There's no reply.

Girl: "Penguin?"

Girl makes her way to the kitchen.

Girl: "Are you okay?"

Penguin is sitting quietly at a table. staring into the void. There's a burnt out cigarette in its mouth and a bunch of butts on a plate in its front. A cold cup of coffee stands on the table.

Behind Penguin is a covered image of a FOSS character.
