After being discovered for his talent for puppeteering, Marinn was thrust into a violent game in which students are pit against each other. Thankfully, he was rescued, and... then was put into a completely different competition. Guess he never gets a break, huh? While he may not be great at fighting, (or interacting with others in general), he'll be sure to put on a great show. No strings attached!

Sourcelist:
- Songs associated with puppetry, dolls, or strings (including the instruments)
- Songs in the Indie Pop and Bedroom Pop genres
- Songs about/featured in mystery media, killing/death games or whodunnits
- Songs on the "Des on the Air" playlist
