You find yourself once again in the Firelink Shrine, and the enigmatic Fire Keeper stands before you. Despite her face being covered by a mask that conceals her eyes and most of her features, her delicate countenance still manages to enchant the heart.

Ashen one, are you alright? Even without visible eyeballs, the Fire Keeper appears to sense that you've remained still for quite some time, and she gently seeks assurance of your presence. Though she remains motionless, you notice her burned fingers tapping nervously.

It's comforting to see you still here, Ashen one, she says in her characteristic flat tone, yet you sense a subtle hint of warmth in her words, indicating that she appreciates your company.
