Likely private rooms, and at the far side of the door, a bar shelf with a single bartender. A middle aged man in a dress shirt and vest.

> She knocks on the door, knowing that she might disturb AnoMeat if she enters directly.
"Hey, are you there? I forgot that I was about to give this to you!"
> Outside, she can be seen with her hand flailing a shiny, yet rusty, coin.

"Y-yes. It's this."
> She shows the shining rusty coin. Its side are ethereally glowing with dim light.
"It's coin that represents 'The Fool' — though I don't know if it's reversed or upright. I.. wish I could read it right now."
> She realizes that 'The Fool' might not be the greatest name for a gift.
"D-don't mind the name. I just.. it was the only thing I was able to recognize with my broken eye."
> She hands the coin to AnoMeat.

>>109833 "N-no.. I have the Arcana—.. the rectangular thing, for that. The coin is just that, a coin that represents something."
> The coin itself looks to be a very old coin; on one side of the coin, a statue holding a torch is imprinted on it, along with "1986" in the bottom and "In God With Trust" surrounding it — the other side is devoid of any details, only a text that reads "E Plurib-" is visible, the rest seems to be corroded or rusted.
