When (Y/N) awoke the next evening, fear coursed through her after coming to terms that she had left herself unprotected in the presence of an Upper Moon demon. What's more, she was now once more back in the Red Lights District.

Why... did he bring me here?

Cautiously, she stood up and peered into the next room to find no one there, only when she slid open the adjacent door did she find someone. The woman that glanced up at her arrival, the one dressed in the most regal attire she had ever seen, looked at her with such contempt she had to back away.

"So... you're finally up, you ugly thing," the woman sneered, placing the last pin in her dark hair that held it up in a bun.

"O-Oh?" The Madame stuttered, setting down the cup of tea she had in hand and smiling nervously—as if she were afraid of Daki. "I-Is that so?" Standing up, she cautiously approached them before cupping her chin and leaning in closer to (Y/N), scrutinizing her with eyes squinted in thought before saying, "Yes... she's very pretty. The marks under her eyes are concerning... but I believe she will draw in a number of customers anyway with beauty like—"
