Toad is no stranger to such scenes, and his reaction appears more calm and skilled. Faced with sudden accusations and suspicions, he chooses a more low-key and conservative approach. He kneels on the cold ground, slightly leaning forward with his head almost touching the ground, choosing silence, not uttering a word. This action not only signifies his tacit acceptance of the current situation but also seems to convey his deep understanding and resignation to the circumstances.
In contrast to Toad's composure, the other two servants show obvious panic and confusion. Their differences are magnified in this moment, highlighting Toad's experience and adaptability in such tense situations. One of the servants even, in his panic, directly looks at the bloodstains on Mario's hands, his eyes filled with fear and incomprehension, as if realizing the truth at that moment - these two bodies were likely caused by Mario himself.
The reaction of this servant not only revealed his intuitive judgment of the truth, but also inadvertently deepened the tension in the scene. His direct gaze undoubtedly silently questioned Mario's actions, redirecting everyone's attention to Mario and increasing the pressure and uncertainty of the confrontation. In this situation, everyone is searching for their own position and answers, and the truth seems to become a pending mystery, making the atmosphere of this morning even more solemn and complex.
Mario's eyes stared evilly at the two servants, and their nervousness and unease became more apparent under his gaze. Especially the servant wearing a hat, he could hardly conceal his attention to the bloodstains on Mario's hands, and his almost obsessive gaze seemed to silently accuse Mario of wrongdoing. This silent accusation made Mario feel an unprecedented anger, the flames in his heart quietly burning, but he still tried to maintain his outward calm.
He slowly leaned against the balcony railing, trying to disguise the turmoil in his heart with this posture. Then, Mario spoke in a deep and stern voice, full of authority and unquestionable threat: "I know it's not you... Toad, you had a good time with my brother yesterday, didn't you?" This statement not only questioned Toad, but also hinted that in the chaos of last night, everyone might have an unknown side.
Toad knelt on the cold and hard floor, his body involuntarily trembling. Knowing Mario's character and methods, he understood that the two servants would face Mario's severe treatment next. However, in this tense and unknown atmosphere, Toad couldn't suppress the smile gradually appearing on his face. His smile was not malicious, but rather stemmed from a unique feeling about the current situation - an abnormal excitement for extreme circumstances nurtured in long-term abuse and being abused.
Facing the floor, Toad's inner drama is leaping dramatically. In this life-and-death tense atmosphere, he unexpectedly finds that he not only does not feel afraid of this extreme state of tension, but rather finds it particularly stimulating and interesting. This discovery surprises him and brings a distorted sense of satisfaction. In this moment, Toad's inner world is filled with contradictions and complexity - he finds a strange comfort and excitement in this madness and uncertainty.
His laughter is weak and restrained, but it seems particularly obvious in this silent space. Toad's psychological state at this moment is so complex and elusive that he may not fully understand the source and nature of this psychology himself. But one thing is certain, in the world of Mario and Luigi, Toad has found his own foothold, even if this foothold is so unusual and distorted.
From the trembling and faint voice of Toad, one can feel his fear and helplessness at this moment. He struggled to lift his head, trying to make his words more firm: "Y-yes, sir, I was being disciplined by Luigi last night... I couldn't have possibly killed anyone." This statement not only insists on his own innocence, but also reveals a certain distorted identification with Luigi's behavior, as if such discipline was a strange experience for him.
Upon hearing Toad's response, especially the word "disciplined," Mario couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, filled with mockery and sarcasm: "Damn, Toad, you're such a sicko." This statement not only exposes the distorted relationship with Toad, but also mocks and ridicules this twisted state. Mario's laughter sounded particularly harsh in this tense space.
Subsequently, Mario's behavior suddenly became violent, as he stomped forcefully on Toad's body. This action not only caused direct harm to Toad's body, but also further tormented his spirit. In this moment, Mario demonstrated an absolute pursuit of power and control, as well as contempt and punishment towards Toad's "abnormal" state.
This violent scene not only inflicted a dual blow to Toad's body and mind, but also shocked the other people present. In this world filled with abnormality, power, and violence, everyone is seeking their own position and way to adapt to this distorted environment. The interaction between Toad and Mario undoubtedly serves as a vivid demonstration of this distorted relationship.
