M IS DEAD

Prologue: Execution Day

Luigi couldn't remember exactly who was killed yesterday, on March 31st, 2021. It felt like a cruel April Fools joke. But whoever it was that he couldn't recall, they were murdered in cold blood. He remembered seeing the sword pierce flesh, but…whose flesh was it? It was someone important to him…but he couldn't even pick out a possible name.

He rubbed his eyes as he sat up in his hospital bed, seeing his girlfriend Daisy right by his side. "Hey-a, Daisy." He sighed, noting the empty spot in his heart.

"Luigi…are you okay?" She looked very concerned, which was fair. He had witnessed a murder, of someone he couldn't remember. Then he had gotten hurt in the crossfire, his arm being broken by this…menace with one wing.

"No…I'm-a not. Does your memory feel…empty? Like-a…like-a someone was…erased?" Luigi looked away in shame, knowing he probably sounded crazy.

"Yeah…we all have. Something…is very wrong." Daisy said, causing Luigi's eyes to light up.

"So…I'm-a not crazy then." Luigi trembled as he thought back to what he could recall. "Someone, someone was murdered yesterday… all I can remember…is a red cap with an M on it."
