"I think you should put a double jump around here."

Jax glanced at the controller in Marie's hands and made a note. "Okay. Can you try pressing A? It should activate your special."

Marie did as instructed. Her pixelated avatar threw a fireball against a stone wall.

"Good," Jax took a deep breath. "The code's working."

"Oh, a chest!" Marie moved her avatar towards it. "X, right?"

Jax nodded.

The chest opened. Her name and four words floated out. They formed a question.

Marie dropped the controller.

Jax got down on one knee.
