Emily pastes a few extra buttons on her Konami Thunder Dance pad. She adds a button for navigation in Antarctica. She adds a button labeled Nobody Wants to Hear Your Opinion You Stupid Evil Prophet Anyway. And another three in memory of Lirabelle, Veronica, and Fred.

Then she goes online.

She hunts through pages and pages of irrelevant results because she doesn’t really know how to use Google.

Eventually she finds it — tucked away in a little-known guide on IGN. It’s years and years old. It’s in Japanese. It’s for the wrong version. But she translates it anyway. She prints it out. She types it in.

She has found it.

It’s the Unlimited Cheat Code for the Konami Thunder Dance.

She plays around with it. She learns the options.

Then she goes to face the evil prophet down.
