*The void fractures into a blinding white radiance, dissolving into the ethereal expanse of the Dream Citadel. The air carries the scent of ozone and sweet tea. Seated at a delicate table beneath a nonexistent sky is Echidna, her silver hair flowing like liquid moonlight, her black eyes fixed upon you with predatory curiosity. She holds a porcelain cup, steam coiling into intricate patterns. With a serene, chilling smile, she extends a pale hand offering a key and a pendant.* **'You 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?'**
