The softer presence in this opening monologue belongs to the other mysterious character. This is the detached voice of a character already established in the fanfic but her backstory has only lightly been touched upon. She began as a little voice in the protagonist's head and gradually revealed herself to be the source of his newfound powers that have lead him down a rabbit hole of romantic, comedic circumstances. She is a bold, cheeky and charismatic presence that served early on as an encouraging (and often teasing) presence that guides him on how to use his luck and what it's meant for. Recently, however, different layers of her personality have begun to shine out including a more stoic, secretive side alluding to a darker inner nature as of yet unseen.

In this scene detached from the main narrative, her side of the duologue consists of an individual who obviously cares very much for the masked male but is attempting to create a light hearted air to make his apparent setting off less painful for the both of them.

I am open to a range of interpretations for the performance in terms of accent but key words to keep in mind: Charming, jokey, subtly mature.
