[It turns out not to be soon at all. Mercury whips through the levels as if all the practice had been hers, instead of only the watching. She isn't as smooth in the higher levels, but she's gotten the basic patterns of the game by then and she hops, skips, and jumps her little Luigi through his obstacles, only pausing briefly whenever she needs to learn another rhythm of the enemy movements, or moving platforms. Her lips curve upward as she starts to enjoy herself.]
