flag that was an apple btw I AM NOT USING A BELL PEPPER JUST TO EAT A HEART-
Despite this looking like ExShroom's toxic, there's actually a small, slightly cute thing going on. Sure, he's eating a heart, but while ExSquash was yapping about the next challenge, ExShroom listened intently, because, well, he likes having another host. And another person that finds out what he's doing is another one to the pile. And the storage is getting full.
