Unsightly Pixel

About this project

There is a small stray light-brown pixel that exists on the town maps thanks to a graphic compression issue. This patch removes the pixel, which is actually part of the upper left house's shadowing pixels, but due to how the graphic gets compressed it shares a spot with a totally separate house and thus winds up right in the middle of the grass in front of said house. Removing it barely effects the look of the upper left house's shadowing and in turn removes this mistake of a pixel from being where it shouldn't be.
