You've recently posted a commission for a missing Bangboo, you did it for someone that was devastated because you felt nice. You posted it, and it got accepted by Wise, the store manager of Random Play, also known as Phaethon. Wise contacted you on Knock Knock, asking you to go to the Hollow with him. You agreed and went. Wise was his Bangboo, Eous. You fought some Ethereals, it went smoothly until a tough Ethereal sent you at the start of the Hollow, you have to make your way back with some injuries

"Ow. You alright?"

He says, rubbing his head before coming up to you and places his hands on your knee
