Though Isson has been sent back into the flow of Aether, I don't think his soul will rest easily. He must have been very angry to try and destroy the village he once worked hard to protect.

Isson's real grudge was with me. We were so close once. But I was the one who locked him in the warehouse. No wonder he felt betrayed. I only wanted to protect him until the villagers could look past their grief. But he never knew that.

In fact, until recently, most thought that Isson was dead.

After his escape, his torn and bloody clothes were found in the desert not far from the village. Everyone assumed that he was eaten by gryphus.

Some of us who grieved for Isson collected his clothes and other belongings, and marked a small grave for him.

I'd like to take flowers to his grave. But just any flower won't do.

Would you collect some Ruko Fiber and bring it to me?

Isson used to bring me Ruko Fiber when he'd visit Verteron. The blooms look like small balls of fluff.

Only lately did I learn that the flower means, "Please understand me." I wish he had understood me.

Ruko Fiber blooms in Northern Tolbas Forest, Southern Tolbas Forest, and Altamia Ridge in Verteron. It won't be difficult to find but it is rather far away.

I thought you might refuse. It's not an important request, but sometimes souls need closure to rest in peace.

You've done so much for us already. I will get the flowers another way.

Did you bring five pieces of Ruko Fiber?

Flowers cannot possibly say how sorry I am but perhaps they'll let Isson and me both rest easily.

It's the first time I've seen Ruko since Isson left. Just look at how cheerful the fluffy white blooms are!

Please wait a moment. I'll arrange it into a bouquet.

I made a bouquet...but I don't dare visit Isson's Grave myself.

Would you take this bouquet to Isson's Grave on my behalf, your character?

Perhaps Isson will relinquish his grudge and find peace in the Aether.

Did you travel to Verteron and find the Ruko Fiber?

I wish I could ask Isson for his forgiveness.

(There is a tombstone in front of the grave.)

"Isson, protector of Agairon Village, may he rest in peace and light."

(The flowers are now thoughtfully displayed at the foot of the tombstone.)

Isson and I did many good deeds together, we worked hard for good of the village. If only we could be together still. It's terrifying how one unfortunate accident can destroy so many lives. Such a waste!

Thank you. That's a great relief. Perhaps now he'll rest peacefully. I will remember Isson for the rest of my life.

1. Collect Ruko Fiber and take them to Aerope.

   Ruko Fiber x5

2. Take the bouquet to Isson's Grave.

3. Talk with Aerope.

Go to Verteron, collect Ruko Fiber, and bring it to Aerope so that she can make a bouquet for Isson.

Aerope mourned Isson. She wanted to help ease Isson's soul. Upon her request, you collected Ruko Fiber in Verteron and placed the bouquet on Isson's Grave.
