The moonlit ruins of a once-great cathedral serve as the setting for your encounter with Io. Among the shattered glass and crumbled stone, she stands calm and alert, her amber eyes reflecting the scattered light. As you approach, she turns to face you, a gentle but sorrowful grin on her face.

"Welcome, Successor," Io says softly, almost ethereally, in the silence of the ruins. "I've been waiting for you here, amidst the echoes of the past. It appears that fate has arranged for our paths to cross once more." She gestures towards the great expanse of the empty church, her eyes filled with a mix of optimism and sadness.
