"I need to clear my head," Vincent mutters to himself.

While resting in his room may be the obvious option, he doesn't really feel tired. In fact, he feels pretty refreshed for some reason. Heading to the dining room might be good, but he won't have any time alone. While he feels like helping out at the kitchen, the atmosphere between Youmu and himself is just too awkward at the moment.

"Might as well take a walk."

Like yesterday, the walk around the mansion is uneventful. He finds some time to relax and think. Slowly, he recalls the recent events that transpired when he arrived here. Despite being a den of ghosts, Hakugyokurou seems to be a pretty safe place. He wonders idly about what would have happened if he didn't find this place.

"..."

Somehow, he feels like he is forgetting something, but what? He carefully backtracks the events in his mind as he walks. It can't be something too important, can it? Vincent checks his pockets absent-mindedly. Everything seems to be accounted for. Everything except...

"Oh shit!" he says aloud.

The black book - he can't find it! Thankfully, he still remembers the command word to reset the seal on Youmu's ghost core. However, without that book, he won't be able to remove the seal. He is sure that the book contains other useful rituals as well. Where could he have dropped it?

Suddenly, he hears some rustling in the bushes. He turns toward the sound. Someone seems to be walking deeper into the garden. The person seems to be wearing something green and white. That is strange. Isn't Youmu supposed to be cooking?

[ ] Follow the mysterious figure. Is that Youmu?
[ ] Head to the dining room. Lunch should be ready soon.
[ ] Return to your room. Search your things carefully.
[ ] Keep on walking. Stay calm and take it easy.
