Max-kun's Otherworld Adventures — Ep.4: The Battery-Empty General

Max meets a resident completely absorbed in a handheld-console relic — almost at the final clear. Then the Battery-Empty General appears and slowly drains the power away. The screen dims; the resident panics.

But here's the twist: the General runs on batteries too. He drained so much that he ran flat himself and toppled right over. 'My own battery...' he groans.

Max kneels down and shares a spare battery. The General revives, genuinely touched. 'You're a good kid,' he mutters. In this world, even a feared enemy can run out of fuel — and a small kindness can turn a foe into a friend.
