A post were I nerd about overworld exploration for The Harlequin au by @tadc-harlequin-au

Okay. Here me out. Bubble as a menu guide/ovreworld companion that follows you around similar to Paimon from Genshin Impact or that one fairy from Majora's Mask.

(Don’t know if this already is a thing or not)

Like just imagine this duo. Harlequin!Ponmi and Bubble would be an unstoppable pair to deal with, their both such menaces!

I also think Caine could also sometimes speak through bubble whenever you spend a lot of time in a certain area without reaching your objective, offering to guide you!

You could also get a bubble POV in order to see some areas ahead. You could check on the enemies there and make a plan or guide it in order to solve puzzles...

Speaking of puzzles, there could be some mechanisms were you can leave Bubble inside in order to power terminals, activate things and stuff!

Excuse my shitty handwriting.

PRESSURE HUB: Command the Bubble Butler Blimp to stay put in the marked areas in order to activate certain mechanisms.

Ponmi: BUBBLE! STAY PUT!

B.B.B: You can leave me in Pressure Hubs to activate certain mechanisms and solve puzzles!

Ponmi: I. AM. TRYING!

Another thing could be that if you play on "Hard mode", apart from combat being more difficult, maybe Ponmi could be more reluctant to ask for help and Caine would just not offer his help cause he is too busy drinking working.
