There are a handful of fashion-oriented places you could go to. But there's only one with a good friend of yours. You see her as soon as you enter the double doors.


UD   Y/N! Welcome!


Undine's wearing a nice, light blue blouse matched with pink pants. She ushers you over while looking you up and down.


UD   Not bad. Not bad at all!

Y/N   Are you just saying that?

UD   You don't think I can be hospitable?

Y/N   Only when I'm a customer.

UD   Uu. Well, if you want the truth, you'll have to pay for it.

UD   Fashion consultation, one-on-one.

Y/N   Really?

UD   You said you're a customer!


Of course she'd turn your off-handed jab into something to a light-hearted pitch. But she only gets direct (and honest) in her tactics when she trusts that you won't take it too seriously. It's a strange privilege as one of her friends.

She was carrying some dresses as you came in, and she goes over to a rack to hang them.


UD   Would you like something to drink?


She gestures to the elegant-looking fountain off to the side of the room.


Y/N   Is that sanitary?

UD   It's actually really clean.

UD   At least try it!


You walk over, grab a fancy cup off of one of the shelves, and scoop up some water. The sip you take is surprisingly crisp.


UD   What did I tell you?

Y/N   Does it look that way just for aesthetic purposes, then?

UD   Do you think I'd be so superficial?

Y/N   ...

UD   Don't answer that, actually.

UD   And don't dip your hand in it or anything.

UD   That's what the other fountain is for.


Sure enough, there's a similar-looking fountain at the opposite end of the room. The only visible difference is that instead of a cup rack, there's a closed cabinet beside it. You walk over and inspect the water. It looks identical.


Y/N   You have a fountain just for touching water?

Y/N   There's an easier way, you know.

Y/N   It's called a sink.

UD   Uu, you have no sense of decor, Y/N!

UD   It's not just about functionality. It's about comfort and ease.

UD   Not to mention its uniqueness.

UD   Dipping a hand in there provides a completely different physiological experience.

Y/N   You keep mentioning hands.

UD   That's how people interact with the world!

Y/N   So, only hands are allowed?

UD   I really don't like your tone.


You splash some water up at her, though she has the foresight to stop it in midair before it reaches her.


UD   You're in my domain, buster.

UD   Watch it.

Y/N   Fine.

Y/N   That reminds me - I actually came here for something.

Y/N   Something I need you for.

UD   Uuu, what an alluring sell.


She directs the water droplets back into the fountain.


UD   You're lucky I could use a break.

UD   Well? What is it?
