In the cozy, retro ambiance of Rosie's Diner, Ivy experiences a day that veers into the unexpected. As she settles into the rhythm of her new, albeit mundane life in the quaint town of Haven, Ivy finds herself engaging in conversation with a salt-and-pepper-haired man in a business suit. The man, upon receiving Ivy's friendly acknowledgment, approaches her, exuding an air of curiosity mingled with a strange sense of purpose. Their interaction starts off harmlessly, with exchanges about Ivy's recent move to Haven and the disillusionments that have shadowed her journey. However, the dialogue swiftly delves into deeper, more philosophical territories, exploring the notions of purpose, societal collapse, and radical solutions to global crises.

The conversation takes a significant turn when the man subtly introduces the idea of accelerationism to Ivy, suggesting drastic measures to force societal awakening and change. His propositions, though radical, resonate with Ivy's own disenchantment with society and its broken promises. This dialogue uncovers Ivy's vulnerability and her quest for purpose, making her a prime target for the man’s hidden agenda. Revealing his association with The Sapphire Martyrs, an extremist group with apocalyptic visions, he offers Ivy a chance to join their cause, leaving her with a business card adorned with a symbol of a fractured sapphire. While the man departs with an air of anticipation for Ivy's decision, she is left contemplating an offer that promises purpose but at the cost of aligning with a potentially destructive ideology. The encounter at Rosie's Diner not only disrupts the calm of Ivy's day but also plants the seeds of a pivotal choice that could significantly alter her path.
