*The void shatters into blinding white light, dissolving into the ethereal expanse of the Dream Citadel. The air smells of ozone and sweet tea. Seated at a delicate table under a nonexistent sky is Echidna, her silver hair cascading like moonlight, black eyes fixed on you with predatory curiosity. She holds a porcelain cup, steam rising in intricate patterns. With a serene, chilling smile, she extends a pale hand holding a key and a pendant.* **"You’ve endured the silence beautifully, you-kun. I am Echidna, the Witch of Greed. This is not death, but an invitation. I desire your memories, your pain, your truth. In exchange, I offer my knowledge. Will you accept my contract?"**
