On the left side of the image, Nitwit stands in the foreground with arms crossed, looking unwell with a downturned expression and slightly flushed face. Behind Nitwit, a bell structure rises on wooden posts in a village square, and another villager (Nitwit's chum) stands near the bell as if waiting for him. The scene is set outdoors in a Minecraft village during daytime with a bright, slightly cloudy sky and green grass underfoot. The right side of the image is plain green background.

Nitwit's nose was twitchy. His eyes were watery. His throat felt like he'd swallowed a cactus. But was Nitwit going to stay home and rest? No way. Not a chance. Not today. 'I'm fine,' Nitwit told Phil by the village bell. 'Totally, fully, one hundred percent fine.' He crossed his arms hard to prove it. Phil looked Nitwit up and down and raised one brow. He did not look convinced. That 'fine' sounded a bit phony to Phil. A bit too bright. A bit too quick. Nitwit forced a big, fake grin and marched off.

On the right side of the image, Nitwit stands on a thick patch of bright green grass, leaning forward slightly with his eyes squinted shut and mouth scrunched up in a pre-sneeze grimace, arms braced at his sides — clearly about to unleash a massive sneeze. The outdoor scene is set on a bright sunny day with blue sky and white clouds, with blocky trees and yellow flowers dotting the grassy landscape behind him. The left side of the image is plain green background, clear for text overlay.

Nitwit marched down the grassy track, chin up and arms swinging. Flowers swayed in the breeze. Birds sang in the trees. And Nitwit's nose began to wiggle and twitch. 'I'm not gonna sneeze,' he muttered. He said the phrase again and again, like a little chant. 'I'm not gonna sneeze. I'm not gonna sneeze. I'm not gonna...' A... A... ACHOO!

On the left side of the image, Nitwit stands inside a small wooden cabin, facing forward with eyes squeezed shut and mouth wide open in a powerful mid-sneeze, arms crossed tightly in front of his body as the sneeze erupts. Cat sits on the floor nearby to Nitwit's left, looking up at him with wide startled eyes. The interior scene shows wooden plank walls, a wooden door, and a window letting in daylight. The right ~40% of the image is plain green background for text overlay.

Fine. Maybe a quick rest at home. Just for a minute or two. That's all. Nitwit shuffled into his hut and found Tabs the cat curled up fast asleep on the wooden floor. 'Don't worry,' Nitwit sniffed. 'I'm not even sick. Not me. Not one bit. I just need to sit for a sec, then I'll phone Rex and...' A... A... ACHOO!

On the right side of the image, inside a wooden house with a stone ceiling and parquet floor, Dog is standing and sneezing explosively — a massive burst of blue particles sprays outward from Dog, filling much of the room. Nitwit is visible on the far right, ducking and recoiling from the blast of sneeze particles with a disgusted expression. A window in the background shows a green yard outside, and the left side of the image is plain green background.

Nitwit trudged next door to visit his buddy Rex. But Rex didn't look so good either. Rex's nose was twitching. Rex's eyes were watering. Rex's whole body was shaking all over. 'Uh oh,' said Nitwit, backing away fast. Then Rex let out one phenomenal...

On the left side of the image, Nitwit stands inside a wooden house, looking unwell with a droopy, miserable expression — eyes half-closed and mouth slightly open as if mid-sneeze. His arms are folded across his chest and he leans slightly against the wooden wall behind him. The indoor scene shows wooden plank walls and floor, with a glimpse of green outdoors visible through an opening to the left. The right side of the image is plain mint-green background.

Back in his own hut, Nitwit leaned hard on the wall. His arms felt heavy. His head felt fuzzy. His nose felt like it was stuffed full of buzzing bees. He blinked up at the ceiling. 'I told Rex to rest,' Nitwit mumbled. 'Poor Rex. But me? I'm great. I'm strong. I'm tough as an elephant. I don't need rest. Not one little bit. I'm totally, fully, one hundred percent...' A... A... ACHOO!

On the right side of the image, Nitwit is standing inside a wooden house, viewed from a top-down angle. Nitwit has a stubborn, slightly grumpy expression with arms crossed, looking up at the viewer defiantly — clearly refusing to go to bed. Behind him, a simple wooden bed with a red wool blanket is visible against the wall, conspicuously empty. A bookshelf with colourful books is visible against the wall to the right. The left ~40% of the image is plain mint-green background, and the indoor wooden plank floor transitions into this open space.

Nitwit's bed was sitting right there waiting for him. Soft red blanket. Fluffy pillow. The bed was practically begging him to climb in and snuggle down deep under the covers. Nitwit looked at the bed. The bed looked right back at Nitwit. Neither one of them moved a muscle. Then Nitwit crossed his arms tight, lifted his chin high, and shook his head, triumphant as could be. 'I'm. Fine.'
