The elevator hums, the player comes, come look Gourdy! It's a visitor! Have fun now shall we?
As the machines drip down, Gourdy reaches out a hand and the moon almost touches but alas, the star yanked them and promptly shoved them out of the way. [Redacted] saw it all and felt pitiful so she gave Gourdy one sweet candy. Delicious!
As the machines fill up one by one, Gourdy crawls and tries to reach out but the moon could only do so much as to give it another candy. He sighed and ate the candy still.
The last machine, it's nearly done, Gourdy tried to reach out but as soon as the elevator slides open, that's when it all broke. He craved their touch so much and yet... It was all in vain. Just to keep him distracted...
Alas, he roared and let out a mighty form, the moon, the star, and [Redacted] immediately ran forth and to the elevators they went, Gourdy followed close and for a moment it felt like a second was forever.
Running, screaming, wailing, chasing, and repeating. The trio jumped into the elevator one by one as Gourdy reached its arms wide open once more but...
Hiss...
The elevator closes in as he trips and falls to a candy, this, of course, caused him to lose his upper head and start spilling ichor. As he felt his soul leaving his body, he saw one final thing.
The laughs of the trio escaping the danger of Gourdy.
Gourdy, saddened, let out one final breath as his eyes grew weary and his consciousness faded. What a shame, he craved it so much only to be met with nothing and in the end? His recklessness caused him nothing but more misery.
