Parfait

The subject has the ability to manifest others' trust in physical form. Once she earns their confidence, she can convert that belief into tangible objects, including but not limited to currency and goods. However, should this trust be lost, the materialized items will vanish accordingly.

During the years the subject has been active in Eastside, she has never publicly used her abilities. However, investigations indicate that her powers had already awakened by the time she first appeared at Eastside social events under the "Parfait Medici" identity.

The subject's Mania corruption level is relatively mild, showing no obvious surface infection symptoms and retaining clear mental faculties. However, the subject exhibits abnormally high levels of social activity in daily life, which is suspected to be a side effect of her Sinner abilities.

The subject identifies herself as "Parfait Medici" and holds the positions of Executive Director and Investment Advisor at Tulip Holdings, an Eastside-based investment firm. Renowned for her consistently accurate predictions of financial market trends, she earned the moniker "Investment Guru" within Eastside's investment circles.
Beginning in mid-N.F. 115, doubts emerged regarding the legitimacy of her identity. She has since faced allegations of involvement in multiple economic crimes, including the fabrication of an Outland Hypercube mine that has led to substantial economic losses and widespread social repercussions.

The subject has not utilized her Sinner abilities for a considerable time. Upon investigation, no significant fraudulent activities were uncovered within her venture capital firm. The counterfeiting case from her past has been resolved. Given the minor sum involved and her early provision of substantial compensation to the affected parties, no additional charges were pursued. Presently, the subject remains active in Eastside's financial industry and continues to be in high demand among financial professionals and affluent business figures.

The subject experienced a credibility crisis following a series of events in May N.F. 115 and subsequently avoided public appearances in Eastside for the next six months. As her reputation deteriorated, she was revealed to be under suspicion for involvement in a counterfeiting case that had taken place years earlier in Eastside. As a result, she became a wanted individual by both Nirvana and the Financial Inspection Team, leading to her eventual detention by the Chief personally during a field operation.

The subject claimed to be an "orphan of the Medici family" who had been living abroad for years. Her debut at Eastside social events instantly attracted widespread attention. Through a series of high-risk financial ventures, she secured substantial profits for numerous investors. After amassing significant wealth, the subject became a frequent presence at art exhibitions, earning acclaim for her discerning taste and generous patronage of artists, eventually being hailed as a "model aristocrat."

According to investigations, the subject actually originated from Syndicate and possesses no noble bloodline whatsoever. Her startup capital consisted of counterfeit money created using her Sinner abilities. Because it was completely identical to genuine currency, it temporarily caused market panic. However, the actual amount of counterfeit money she produced was only around 110,000 DisCoins.

At the N.F. 115-116 Spring Concert, the Eastside investment community became convinced that the subject had secured a partnership with the West District Hypercube mine. Overnight, her venture capital firm, Tulip Holdings, surged to the top of the market, with stock and corporate bond prices maintaining an unprecedented high. This unexpected windfall not only restored her standing in Eastside society but also rendered the charges brought by the Financial Inspection Team and Nirvana effectively moot.

The subject had no permanent residence in Eastside and primarily stayed at various high-end hotels. This arrangement persisted until her detention by the Chief. Although she has since been granted an exemption and is no longer subject to long-term confinement, she continues to frequent the Bureau under the guise of "visiting friends."

The subject's "Parfait's Dinner Party" was once the most exclusive and coveted private event in Eastside. On the surface, they promised little more than "the chance to dine with Parfait." Yet financiers and investors clamored for invitations, pouring fortunes into securing a seat and pulling every string imaginable, all for a shot at winning the favor of the so-called "investment guru."

The subject cultivates a vast social network, with connections spanning every sector of DisCity. Her associates range from affluent merchants and financial elites in Eastside to childhood friends from Syndicate. Following the N.F. 115-116 Spring Concert, she no longer concealed her ties to Syndicate and has since openly accompanied her Syndicate friends to high-profile venues across Eastside.

The subject holds the Chief in high esteem, often publicly commending the Chief's artistic taste and sophisticated conversation, while also emphasizing their "close relationship." Some speculate that her actions are strategically designed to align herself more closely with the Chief, thereby bolstering the investment community's confidence in her ability to contribute to the West District Hypercube mining project. However, she dismisses this interpretation, insisting that her admiration stems solely from "genuine personal appreciation."

[Parfait sits with her coffee cup, listening to the day's financial reports in quiet contentment.]

Parfait: Oh, my dear friend, please sit! Come listen to today's breaking news with me! I also have some freshly imported beans, here, try this—

• Prompt: Is this coffee? Why does it taste sweet and sour...
• Parfait: Delicious, isn't it? I added some special coffee creamer that an Eastian gave me. All good flavors deserve to be enjoyed—it's such a waste to let them go unused!
• Parfait: 😏😏

• Prompt: You've been listening for so long, did you gain anything from it?
• Parfait: Peaceful moments, wonderful drinks, and you coming to my side, that's the greatest gain of all.
• Parfait: 😘😘😘

[Parfait invites you to appreciate an unfamiliar sonata.]

Parfait: Listen—the crisp rhythms reveal the composer's clarity of mind, while the unconventional melodies are bold yet harmonious, reflecting an interesting and unique artistic spirit. Truly a masterpiece!

• Prompt: Who's the maestro who composed this piece? Do you know them?
• Parfait: Aha! Such excellent taste! It's by an emerging composer I recently discovered. How about we broadcast this heavenly piece at the Bureau? Let's give everyone a bit of cultural enrichment!
• Parfait: 😉😉

• Prompt: It's alright, I guess. I can't really tell what makes it so unique...
• Parfait: That's rather disappointing, my friend. This is a new composer's debut work, but I have faith that she'll eventually create pieces everyone can truly appreciate!
• Parfait: 😫😫

• Prompt: Approach

Parfait: Oh, Chief! Your timing is absolutely perfect. I was just wondering if you might honor me with your company for lunch?

Parfait: Please forgive me for not extending an invitation in advance. The weather looked so lovely today that I was suddenly inspired, so I asked the kitchen to prepare four exotic dishes.

Chief: Really? Our cafeteria managed to whip up gourmet cuisine?

Parfait: My dear friend, you just need to sit down and try a bite—then you'll see I'm not making this up.

• Prompt: Sit down skeptically

Chief: This is... hash browns, steamed fish, greens, chocolate brownies...

Chief: Isn't this just today's cafeteria menu?

Parfait: Not only that, I specifically asked them to serve it using the classical ceramic tableware I brought from home.

Chief: So in other words, you just put cafeteria food on fancy plates, and the portions are half the size?

Parfait: Exactly. You see, what determines quality of life isn't wealth, but attitude.

Parfait: Even the simplest food can provide a premium experience.

Chief: Hmm... I think this could sell to Eastsiders.

⚠⚠ Misvalued Goods

You witnessed Parfait's unique approach to consumption.

• Prompt: Compliment

Parfait: Thank you, Chief. Once again, I must commend your impeccable taste.

Parfait: This is a lovely piece I just picked out at Miss Faye's shop. Here, feel it—the material is sturdy, and the craftsmanship is exquisite.

Parfait: Oh, by the way, this was a freebie. If you like it, please take it.

Chief: Oh, thank you... Wait, how is this... Parfait, Parfait!

Parfait: What's wrong my friend? Don't you like it?

Chief: I think you might have gotten things mixed up. Isn't what you gave me the shop's bestselling screaming duck?

Chief: Now that you mention it, the bag you're holding seems to be the actual freebie, right?

Parfait: Haha, as far as I'm concerned, the one I didn't take a fancy to is the real freebie.

Parfait: Please just take it. It would be perfect to brighten up your office.

• Prompt: Inquire

Chief: What's wrong? Did someone try to push another sales pitch on you?

Parfait: Oh, my dear friend, quite the opposite.

Parfait: I've received so much care from everyone during my time here, so I wanted to buy some gifts for my friends at the Bureau.

Parfait: But your Supply Office has so many wonderful things, I'm having trouble choosing between them all.

Parfait: After all, you know that in Miss Faye's opinion, everything is wonderful.

Chief: She would probably want you to buy one of everything.

Parfait: I've always trusted your judgment, so how about you help me choose?

System Notifications: Parfait raises her hands, showing you the items she's holding in each hand.

System Notifications: On her right wrist, she wears a gold bracelet with embedded gems that sparkle brilliantly, just like Parfait herself.

• Prompt: Choose what you think is suitable as a gift
• Chief: I think the scarf would be very suitable as a gift.
• Parfait: Hehe, I just knew you'd choose that one. I even suspect you might have one exactly like it.
• Parfait: However, my friend, don't you think this scarf's color and style are a bit too ordinary?
• Chief: You can't go wrong with this style.
• Chief: Besides, scarves are more practical too. Even if the recipient doesn't love this gift, they at least won't hate it.
• Parfait: As expected of you, your thinking is very thorough. Speaking of which...
• System Notifications: Parfait drapes the scarf over your shoulders.
• Parfait: Just as I thought, this scarf fits you so perfectly, it looks like it was tailor-made for you.
• Parfait: That's settled then! This one will be your gift.

• Prompt: Choose what you think Parfait would give
• Chief: I think this bracelet on the right is quite nice.
• Parfait: Oh? How interesting, this really isn't at all what you usually prefer.
• Chief: I'm not picking a gift for myself. I just think this bracelet really suits the impression you give people.
• Chief: This way, even if you don't see each other again afterward, whoever receives this gift will think of you, Parfait, whenever they see this bracelet.
• Parfait: I hadn't thought of it that way. That's rather touching to hear.
• System Notifications: Parfait removes the bracelet and puts it on your hand.
• Parfait: I had thought you certainly wouldn't like such flashy jewelry, but since you put it that way...
• Parfait: Here's to our eternal friendship!

⚠⚠⚠ Planning Expert

By the time you realize Parfait is the one organizing the party, it's already too late.

System Notifications: The Bureau is preparing a team-building party, and Parfait volunteered to help with the planning. She comes to your office to discuss the details.

• Prompt: Take Parfait's Event Proposal

Chief: Our party is three hours long, so why is there only... one sheet of paper here? And it's not even double-sided.

Parfait: The greatest banquets often require only the simplest of plans—as long as you find the right professionals.

Parfait: Take a closer look, my friend, every person I've arranged for you is among the most renowned experts in their respective fields.

Chief: A fireworks show opening, followed by a ballet performance, exotic animal acts... and you're seriously planning to invite the entire Eastside Philharmonic Orchestra?

Chief: Our Bureau simply can't accommodate that many people.

Chief: And that's not even the main issue—the Bureau has confidentiality protocols. You can't bring in that many outside personnel.

Parfait: Don't worry, I plan to charter a cruise ship and hold it there. Publicly, we'll just say it's my private dinner party.

Chief: ...Parfait, I'm afraid I have to reject most of what's in your proposal.

Chief: This is an internal event. We can't invite outsiders. All the performances should be done by our own staff and Sinners.

Chief: And you've planned way too many performances, so we'll need to cut some of them.

Chief: The symphony is definitely out, and the fireworks show... that's a safety hazard. Nightingale would never approve of it.

Chief: Also, we've only allocated time for one musical performance this time.

Chief: So between dance and music, we can only keep one.

• Prompt: Keep the music program
• Chief: Let's go with a music performance then. We have quite a few Sinners here who love music.
• Parfait: Oh? Do we have Sinners who are proficient in orchestral music?
• Chief: Depends on whether you consider the suona as an orchestral instrument.
• Chief: Besides that, we also have people who do rap, punk rock, and ASMR... What's going through your mind right now?
• Parfait: I'm wondering... if I want to hear beautiful string solos at the party, would I have enough time to master an instrument myself through cramming and practice?

• Prompt: Keep the dance program
• Chief: How about we try a dance performance instead? We have several dancers among our Sinners.
• Parfait: Do we have anyone who can perform Swan Lake?
• Chief: We have a Sinner here named Hamel who's a top-tier dancer.
• Parfait: Hmm... one person isn't enough.
• Chief: Well, we also have people who can do lion dance, and serpent dance...
• Parfait: So you have all these talented individuals here! Performing Swan Lake would be such a waste of their unique abilities. How about... we change it to Animal World instead?

An exquisite tailored suit with a stylish neckerchief and jewelry that reflect her refined artistic sensibilities.
