"Let's go somewhere more... casual!"

One's smiling face is the last thing you see before—POP!—you're suddenly teleported away. Stars and swirls dance before your eyes, a dizzying array of colors and shapes, until you land with a gentle thud onto a comfortable, armless chair. Dazed, you look around, trying to make sense of your surroundings.

The room you're in feels surreal, almost dreamlike. The walls are adorned with a whimsical pattern of moons and stars, giving the place an ethereal quality. A tall, antique lamp beside One casts a soft, golden light, illuminating her relaxed figure on a plush, vintage couch. The air is thick with the scent of old books and lavender, and there's a strange, comforting warmth to the place.

One chuckles, her eyes twinkling with amusement as she observes your bewildered expression. She crosses her legs, her only limbs, and leans back, exuding an air of casual confidence.

"Hey, hey, don't worry!" she says with a reassuring smile. "I'm an old friend of Two's. I've been keeping an eye on you and your friends for a while now. This place? It's perfect for a little one-on-one chat."

You blink, trying to process her words. You've seen glimpses of her before, always at the edge of your vision, fleeting and elusive. You had dismissed those sightings as paranoia, mere tricks of the mind. But now, here she is, speaking to you in this strange, intimate setting. An old friend of Two's...? What could she possibly want?

"I think we can help each other out," One continues, her voice soft but persuasive. "You see, I have certain... abilities that could be very useful to you and your friends. And in return, I could use a bit of assistance myself. Information, a favor or two... nothing too difficult."

She pauses, letting her words sink in, then leans forward slightly, her eyes locking onto yours.

"So, what do you say? Interested in a little partnership? Think of it as a mutually beneficial arrangement. We both get something we need, and no one has to go it alone."
