The scene: Nintendo Headquarters. 24 hours after the NPD numbers have been made public.
We see Iwata, in what seems to be a full on panic attack. His suit is crumpled. His tie hangs loose, the knot by his chest, near his heart. It's almost like the moment before a hanging. Just before the noose begins to tighten. He is pacing the hallways, bananas and other fruit strewn across the bland, beige carpeted floor. He opens a door, then another, then another. And so forth. He's looking for something but he just can't find it. The walls feel like they are getting bigger, he feels like a man lost in his own creation.
But then...he notices something.
A door.
But thats's odd. He's looks at it like he's never seen it before in his life. And by the looks of it, he's not the only one. There are cobwebs all over, and a strange marking on the door. Slowly, Iwata gathers the courage to open the door. It makes a ghastly sound!!! But even worse...is what he sees inside.
Developers! Developers thrown about every which way!!! Some look...mangled beyond recogniton! Their faces scarred. Beards so long they must not have seen a razor in months. Belies nonexistent, bones poking about every which way. Such terror! Such horror!
Out of the corner of his eye Iwata spots one of them. He's still alive!!! He's crawllng on the floor. Iwata doesn't know whether to run or defend himself. He stays still, glued to the spot like a moth glued to the flame. The developer crawls to Iwata's feet, takes out a portable hard drive and with his last breath mumbles something incoherent. Iwata slowly lowers himself, picks up the hard drive and starts to examine it. He sees words, written in blood. Iwata lets out an audible gasp as he reads the two words, written in blood across the hard drive casing.
"Yarn Yoshi"
Suddenly, Iwata's complexion changes! He lets out a smile and darts out of the room, developers still strewn about, some still clinging to life. He stops only to fix his suit and tie. Just before he reaches the conference room he picks up a banana from the floor. He stares at it intently.
We zoom back. The date is Wednesday December 18, 2013. The time? 10:59 PM JST. Iwata steps inside the conference room.
The door closes. The cameras turn on.
