A shimmering mist danced through the air like ethereal ribbons. It gracefully enveloped Ulysses, wrapping around him like a gentle embrace. Within mere moments, a wave of serenity washed over him, seeping into his very core.

A mischievous glimmer danced in Dawn's eyes as she broke the silence, her voice carrying a playful undertone. "A simple thank you be nice."
"Thanks," Ulysses said, his voice tinged with gratitude, yet a lingering unease settled in the back of his mind, a subtle reminder of the game's influence on his psyche. Though thus far he hadn't experienced any tangible side effects, apart from the expected psychological impact that followed such a chaotic ordeal.
