这一天，又有两个年轻人叩响了大门。门无声无息向后打开，隐隐绰绰的烟雾中，她停下了用天平称量抵押物的动作，为两位到访者斟上了清茶。
「如我所料，欧泊还是选择了你去办匹诺康尼这案子。不过…你似乎又多了一位同盟者呢。」
她示意他们坐下，华贵的座椅上还留着上一位客人的余温。
「为了收回匹诺康尼的坏债，你们需要什么？」
「你的基石。」少年看向她的眼睛。
「第一次有人提出这样的要求，那你们愿意付出什么？」她微笑道。
「我们的基石。」少女说。
「还有我的命。要在匹诺康尼撕开一道口子，我别无选择。」少年深不见底的眼瞳中，光一闪而过。
和他们眼神相触的时候，往日种种一闪而过，最终定格在她与二人初遇的画面。
她轻轻叹息，将代表匹诺康尼的微缩模型置于天平一端。
「我们有各自的来路，也有各自的归宿。」
托帕石落在天平的另一端。
「这段同行的路可以长，也可以短…但只要还未行至终点，我们就必须履行立下的契约。」
砂金石接着落下。
「这世上不存在无价之物，一切都可被衡量、抵押、交易……」
最后是翡翠石，它坠地的刹那，天平彻底倾斜倒下——
「现在，用它们去换取匹诺康尼的明天吧。」
Character Story: Part IV
• Unlocked at Character Level 80
On a different day, two young individuals arrived at her door. The door swung open silently, revealing a room veiled in smoke. Amidst the smoke, she momentarily paused her evaluation of collateral on the scales, and graciously offered fresh tea for her visitors.
"As I anticipated, Opal chose you to handle the Penacony case, but it seems... you've found a new ally."
She remarked, gesturing for them to take a seat on the ornate chairs that still retained warmth from the previous visitor.
"What do you need to collect bad debts owed by Penacony?"
"Your Cornerstone." the young man replied, meeting her gaze.
"Well, this is the first time anyone has asked for such a thing. What price will you pay in return?" she asked, a smile playing on her lips.
"Our Cornerstones." the young lady replied.
"And my life, too. I have no choice except that if I want to tear open a gash in Penacony." A glimmer of light flickered within the bottomless pupils of the young man.
When their eyes met, various memories of the past flickered past, then settled on the image of her first encounter with these two.
She let out a soft sigh, placing a miniature model of Penacony on one end of the scale.
"Each of us has our own beginnings and endings."
The topaz stone was placed on the other end of the scale.
"This journey together may be long or short, but as long as we haven't reached the end, we must honor our contract."
The aventurine stone followed.
"In this world, nothing is truly beyond value. Everything can be measured, leveraged, and traded..."
In the end, the jade stone was placed on the scale, and the scales tipped completely and fell.
"Now, let's trade them for the future of Penacony."
