Accepting the Quest
System: Should you choose to undertake this quest, you will receive no guidance from the journal or the duty list. You will need to read the text carefully and decipher the clues to determine your next course of action.System: A ravaged corpse lies in front of you. You notice its lifeless left hand contains what appears to be a journal.System: The book's jacket has been stained with blood and taken on a crimson hue. Flipping through its pages, you find what seems to be the owner's final entry.
Bloodstained Journal: Dearest Keiko, I often wonder if you have come to resent me for leaving you behind.Bloodstained Journal: Every moment spent without you by my side causes my heart to grow weaker and weaker. There has been many a time where I almost gave up, abandoned hope. But I knew I could not until the day I fulfilled my promise to you.Bloodstained Journal: The fact I now know this day shall never come pains me more than I could ever express using mere words. Luck has carried me back home, but it does not seem it can carry me any further.Bloodstained Journal: I would not protest were you to think me a coward. I wanted nothing more than to gaze into those beautiful eyes and tell you just how sorry I am. Tell me, do you still await my return where we swore we would be reunited someday?
System: You spy a small sketch tucked in between the journal's final page and its cover. It seems to be of the location where the two lovers promised they would be reunited.System: Map icons will not be displayed for the duration of this quest. Use the mauled man's sketch to search for his former lover.
