Script
Snow Mountain Trail
Zangr Stewart seems to have something to say. Go ask him.
Not far outside the villa, a figure wanders in the snow...
You: !!!
You: Zangr? You're still here? What's going on?
It was thanks to Zangr Stewart's clue that you were all able to solve the riddle.
You don't know why he's here though. Maybe something happened...
Zangr Stewart: ...
Zangr Stewart: You are the protagonists after all. The aura cannot be masked.
You: Aura? What are you talking about?
Zangr Stewart: What I say isn't important because I'm only an NPC. More importantly, this isn't over yet...
You: (It's not over yet!?)
You: What does that even mean?
Zangr Stewart: Did the protagonists forget the basics of how to get information?
Zangr Stewart: You must offer gold coins to an NPC in exchange for information...
You: (Gold coins?)
Considering that Zangr's brain is wired differently from most people, maybe he doesn't actually mean gold coins.
You: Tell me. How can I help you?
Zangr Stewart: I didn't expect to put the protagonist in a difficult spot. Such a scene is quite rare.
Zangr Stewart: This time, I was instructed to retrieve a play script.
Zangr Stewart: Bring me the play script and I can tell you what the next step is...
With that, Zangr returns to the "other world" and stops speaking to you.
It seems the only way to "start" a conversation with him is to find the script.
Villa Dining Room
Go to the Villa Dining Room to search for the play script.
You: I've already searched all the bookshelves in the side hall and didn't find any play scripts.
You: It looks like this is the only place where I can find the play script for Zangr. Let's check the drawers.
You open the drawers and flip through what looks like books and texts.
...
You: Eh? This book is...?
You: Xuanwu... Rogues...
You feel the pages in your hand as you read their contents. Somehow, you can't help but feel...
You: Why does this feel familiar?
You: I think I've seen this play before...
The feeling of deja vu is both strange and reassuring...
This must be the play script that Zangr Stewart was looking for.
Give Zangr the play script
You bring the play script back to the villa, but Zangr Stewart is nowhere to be found...
You: ???
You: Where did he go?
You: Does he not want the play script anymore? What's the next step he was talking about...?
The shadows around this place linger by, and it is hard to discern what's real.
Suddenly, you hear the faint singing of opera in the distance...
???: "The dignified gentleman wanders around the world, free of fetter..."
You: This is...?
You stand there holding the play script, while the melody and traces of Zangr Stewart ever being there disappear under the heavy snow...
