During an Artemis 13 stream, Zoink spots a donation message in the chat that looked particularly interesting.
Zoink: Thanks for the 5 bucks, "Sakupen End just got decorated play it pls". Sure why not, I hate this level anyway.
Zoink then exits his verification and starts a practice run on Sakupen End, definitely not taking it seriously enough to tryhard. Going through wave parts 5x faster than other gamemodes.
Zoink: Imagine if I just fucking verify the level. (Foreshadowing)
As Zoink is approaching the infamous Heaven part of the level where the decoration changed drastically, Doggie decides to call Zoink on Discord. Zoink answers
Doggie: Zoink, why the fuck are you on Sakupen End?
Zoink: I wanted to like... get away from Artemis 13 for a bit
Doggie: Get back on Artemis bro.
Zoink: No.
Zoink keeps playing the level, eventually finishing his practice run of around 850 attempts. Deciding to play from 0, Zoink makes quick progress on the level.
Doggie: If you're gonna play Sakupen End, then if you verify this on stream, I'll kiss you.
Zoink: Say what?
Doggie: I'm joking, I'm joking.
Zoink doesn't hear Doggie's last words, as soon as he heard "I'll kiss you" from Doggie, he's locked in. He's starts making insane progress from just an hour of playing. Getting 5%, 9%, 16%, 25% and 26% all in a row.
Doggie is shocked from the progress Zoink's making just for some kisses, holy desperate.
Zoink's chat is as shocked as Doggie, Zoink being the very best player is debatable at its worst, but with the Doggie motivation buff, he's the undisputed GOAT. It might not even be a surprise if he ends up verifying Aeternus within 6.7k attempts with the Doggie buff.
Zoink is still locked in on Sakupen End, gaining a percentage of progress for every 15 attempts due of the Doggie buff. Within 2 hours of playing he already has around 51% on the level. Zoink eventually ends the stream there, since it's already like 1AM.
The next day, Zoink gets back on his computer to stream Sakupen End again, Zoink's chat is prepared for the scenario where Zoink actually verifies the level. Zoink immediately gets his best within 6 minutes of the stream, then 52% 8 attempts later. Zoink is still locked in and still wants Doggie's lips. His progress goes as follows after the 52% run: 14, 2, 7, 17, 21, 33, 8, 20, 35, 45, 51, 55, 57, 59, 41, 60 and 65. Zoink's chat is as hype as ever since Zoink basically became a robot trying to get Doggie's lips.
Then eventually, as a fluke from 60... Zoink verifies the level, finally getting Doggie's lips. Zoink's chat is filled with either "GOOOO" from before the endscreen to "HOLY SHIT GGGGGGGGGGG" from after the endscreen. Zoink immediately calls Doggie.
Zoink: Hey, Doggie, look at my screen right now
Doggie: D- Did you just beat Sakupen End??
Zoink: Now when am I getting that kiss.
Doggie: Zoink, I said I was joking-
Zoink: I didn't verify Sakupen End for nothing, Doggie.
Doggie: ...Fine, come over to my house.
Zoink ends the stream and leaves the chat with implications.
