Summary

Munachar and Manachar are two friends out for a fun day of berry picking, but when one commits the only unforgivable sin of hogging all the berries, the only response is swift, murder-y justice. Time to recruit some accomplices

The creature is the nain, and it will help you know if you're making terrible life choices (and also encourage you to learn a foreign language!)
