  Summary

  The emotional toll of rejection after rejection wore at Bowser's self-esteem, leaving him a depressed, lonely wreck. Withdrawing from his duties, his kingdom has begun to fall into disrepair without their king to course correct it. Little did he know, a fellow lonely soul has been watching his slow transformation and decides to reach out before it's too late. Ever the bleeding heart, that Luigi.
