4. The Romantic Encounter: Express your interest. Options like "What did you have in mind?" followed by "Close your eyes and listen" will initiate the unique mental romance scene.

5. Choosing Your Role: Naoise asks you to choose a role ("Revered," "Contented," "Powerful," "Rich," or "I think we're done here"). The choice influences the scene's outcome.

6. The Rapture Boon: Successfully completing the encounter rewards you with the "Rapture" boon, granting a passive 1d6 bonus to various ability checks. Note that this encounter is a one-time event.
