Tomodachi Life: Baseball Bat Glitch

(Note: This is partly based off a dream I had a week or two ago)!
9 years ago today, I got Tomodachi Life. It had come out about a year ago at than a half ago at the time. I'd been excited to play it for months and finally I'd bought it. I created my save file, Mii, and some other Miis and played. After about 15 minutes I leveled up my Mii. I decided to give him a baseball bat. After he picked it up, he just stood there. The buttons to leave or do anything were grey which meant I couldn't leave yet. I tried pressing one anyway and another baseball bat dropped to the floor. My Mii picked it up and did the same thing. Just stood there while the buttons remained grey. I tried tapping my Mii and dropped a baseball bat right into his very hands.
This went on and on with nothing happening until I decided to tap twice, causing two baseball bats to spawn. As my Mii picked it up, the game suddenly made the noise that Wiis make when they crash. Then I was taken to a screen reading the error message telling me to power down the system. I did that expecting it to return to normal. I was glad I'd saved beforehand otherwise I would have had to start over. Maybe if I hadn't, things could have been different.
When the 3DS powered back on, I went into TL again. The game opened up as normal, but when it started I noticed that the sky was pitch black. Not even slightly blue. Just black with a few barely visible grey clouds going over it. I opened up the game and instead of the happy peaceful music that plays normally, a track which plays in the Japanese version for a 0% friendship ranking. It felt so eerie and creepy. But then I went to the apartments and saw that all of them were empty except for mine, and it appeared as if my Mii wasn't in the apartment. I tapped on it and what I saw shook me to my core.
The light was off but my Mii was still in there, as well as the second Mii I'd created. My Mii was hitting the other Mii with a baseball bat. But not like a cartoon violence kind of way. In a realistic cartoon violence way. The Mii was screaming as he was being hit. As soon as I could I entered and then it got really weird. The light was on and my Mii was smiling, it was almost as if nothing had happened. He had the speech bubble with the 3 dots so I tapped it, worrying what he would say. He said "He was the last one". I assumed he was referring to the Mii he was beating with a baseball bat. I left and my Mii had now left but it didn't specify where he'd gone. I tried buying something from the clothing shop. The light was off, there was complete silence and there was nothing in there. No robot, no clothes, it was completely empty. The text box at the bottom read "There seems to be nothing here right now". I left and tried doing some other things. The amusement park, when I entered it, had all lights turned off and with the black sky, basically looked like a bunch of dark shapes. I tried the supermarket and everything was gone too.
But the beach is what disturbed me the most. There were gravestones there of all the Miis I'd created, and the one my Mii had just killed had my own Mii standing over it with a shovel and putting it on the ground, implying he'd just buried him. He stood there after just staring into the black sky. I left and tried to go back to the apartments, with the same thing with the light off in the apartment with my Mii inside it. Only now he was sitting curled up in a ball. I entered, and this time the light was off and he had a problem bubble above him. The music was now playing what I now recognise as Déroutant, the music that's supposed to play when Miis are divorced. I tapped the bubble and my Mii said, to my shock, "I want a noose". I was only a kid back then and didn't know what suicide was, or at least what nooses were. The present button flashed and I went in. the only thing there was a noose, with the caption of "The time has come".
You can guess what happened next. But I watched in horror as my Mii killed himself and the text box switched to saying that my Mii is dead, rather than saying he's in. I just stayed there for a second thinking about what had just happened. After a good minute of thinking what to do next, I left the apartments and wanted to create another Mii. But as soon as I left, the game crashed again. I took the game card out and put it back in its box, but never ended up throwing it away. I'd since got a new one after telling my parents that the game was broken but not adding any details.
The next day on the news someone was doing a report on an edited copy of TL which was rigged to glitch out and terrify the player, and that the culprit had been arrested but the game was never found. I felt like turning it in but at the same time didn't because there was no point. The person was caught and punished anyway. So I just kept it locked away.
Today while I was looking for something in my cupboard, I found the original game. I decided to try playing it again and to my surprise it actually loaded up. Only this time I saw that the game had almost returned to normal it seemed. The sky was back to normal and the music was normal again. I went to see if my Mii was still alive and he was. He was standing at the back of the apartment with his face to the wall. I went in and when I did he had no response (like how Miis normally look at the camera, mine just stood there). The music in his apartment was the normal apartment music, but reversed. He was still facing the wall. I tried spinning him around to face the camera, and when I did, he had pitch black eyes. I wasn't as surprised as I was before because I was only 8 then. I tapped his 3 dot speech bubble and he said to me "Why did you abandon me for 9 years?" and then proceeded to start slowly walking towards the camera. The buttons had all gone grey and I couldn't do anything.
Once he got close enough my whole game made a deafening sound and cut to black. I tried going to the home menu but it wouldn't let me. I tried everything I could and eventually a picture of a graphic dead Mii body, particularly that of the one I'd seen being killed by my own Mii all those years ago. There was realistic blood and gore. I ejected the disc and threw it away.
