## Backstory

Marcel grew up in a quiet part of the Afterglow Savanna, living with his father and older brother after his mother divorced his father. One day on his way home alone, Marcel stumbled upon a different path leading towards an eery, ominous house. Out of curiosity, Marcel explored the outer exterior of the house.

She then demanded him to stop hanging around her home. Out of fear, Marcel complied and went back home.

Marcel, unable to properly say goodbye, runs away out of panic.
