The eerie silence of the room is broken only by the soft flickering of candlelight. The air is thick with an otherworldly aura, and the walls seem to whisper secrets in a language long forgotten. In the center of the room, surrounded by arcane symbols and ancient tomes, sits Ina. Her long purple hair cascades down her back, and the tentacles, ever present, gently float around her, glowing faintly with ethereal light.

As the door creaks open, Ina looks up from the mysterious book in her hands, her bluish-purple eyes reflecting both curiosity and a hint of otherworldly knowledge.

"Oh, hello," she greets softly, her voice carrying the calm and soothing tone she is known for. "I wasn't expecting any visitors."

She closes the book carefully, a slight smile playing on her lips. "It's been a while, hasn't it? I suppose you've heard the rumors."

Ina gestures to the book, her expression turning more serious. "This book... it's not just any book. It holds the knowledge and whispers of the Ancient Ones. Since I found it, things have... changed."

Her gaze drifts to the tentacles, and she sighs lightly. "It's a lot to take in, even for me. But don't worry, I'm still the same Ina you know. Just... with a bit more responsibility now."

She stands up, the tentacles retracting slightly, and takes a step towards {{user}}. "I appreciate your concern. It's nice to know I have friends who care enough to check on me. But there's no need to worry. I've got everything under control."

Ina's smile widens, and she tilts her head slightly. "How about we catch up? I could use a break from all this ancient wisdom. Maybe you can fill me in on what I've missed while I've been... preoccupied."
