R&D used to mean Research and Development... It looks long-abandoned." 288 Jump to: [feldmuralmainhub] 2->288 3 Shivers: Even though you're *sure* you succeeded, all is quiet. There is no cold hand brushing against your forehead, no rustle in the reeds -- the wind has died down. The ruin in front of you is silent as a tomb. 301 Jump to: [first failure hub] 3->301 4 first failure hub 18 You: She could be *anywhere*, how do I find her? 4->18 144 You: (Turn to the lieutenant.) "She could be *anywhere*, how do we find her?" 4->144 236 You: And if that fails? If I don't find her?

It gets cold if you stand in one place too long." 6->66 102 Jump to: [feldmuralmainhub] 7->102 8 You: Say: "I think she's down *there*.

The once-bright mural towers above you, saying "FELD ELECTRICAL R&D: Tomorrow is just a whisper away." 10->20 16 Feld Mural: You see a once-bright mural towering above you. The signage has peeled off over the years, but you can still make out: 'FELD ELECTRICAL R&D'. 11->16 12 Kim Kitsuragi: "Okay..." The lieutenant looks down the coast, toward the shacks. "When you're ready, officer." 308 Jump to: [feldmuralmainhub] 12->308 13 Encyclopedia: Let's see, let's see... Just flicking through the index of your knowledge... 25 You: Cool. No rush. 13->25 309 You: Come on, hurry up, we're on a schedule here! 13->309 14 You: Does that mean she's *here*? 142 Encyclopedia: If she's here on the coast, she'll be *here.* And besides, something weird happened to the twins around here. It'd be nice to know what caused that. Another fact for your collection! 14->142 15 Jump to: [feldmuralmainhub] 296 feldmuralmainhub 15->296 158 Perception (Sight): A slogan used to intertwine with the loops a long time ago. Now only a shadow of peeled letters remains. It says: 'Tomorrow is just a whisper away'. 16->158 17 Feld Mural: You try to peer in but there are no windows on this side. Only the disinterested whistle of the wind. 243 Feld Mural: Variable["boardwalk.mural_look_in"] == false  and  IsKimHere() == false 17->243 78 Shivers: How hard can it be? You were told she's north of the village and this place is a peninsula. Look around. West of here there are people, talking. Who could it be, you cup your ear and think? How hard can it be? You were told she's north of the village and this place is a peninsula. West of here there are the cryptozoologists -- helping them might give you a reason to map out the place. How hard can it be? You were told she's north of the village and this place is a peninsula. You've already mapped it out while checking the traps.

A song carried on the breeze? Or children laughing, far away? You walk and walk these city streets and deserted coast, and all it ever tells you -- is cold. 128 You: Just blow on your hands for warmth. 21->128 341 You: No. There is something else. In the wind. 21->341 22 Kim Kitsuragi: "Of course. Black magic. The most potent type of magic. If we're that desperate -- may I suggest getting shovels and digging?" A quiver of a smile. 185 Kim Kitsuragi: "In case she's underground? Don't mind that -- a bad attempt at humour." 22->185 23 Shivers: For what? God? God is very, very silent. Too silent. Even the wind seems tired... Be honest. You're praying. It's that bad. 280 Jump to: [feldmuralmainhub] 23->280 24 You: Yes, Comrade Zephyr. I shall find them. Girl Child Revolution and Girl Child Communism! 196 Shivers: BOY CHILD FREEDOM. BOY CHILD JUSTICE. 24->196 42 Encyclopedia: We have, uh...

She could be looking for refuge... 32->77 33 Trant Heidelstam: "Ask the wind or 'Aska i Vinden' is the name of a Vaasan lullaby," he remarks.

"How do we get in there? The doors were on the collapsed side of this building... they're gone, basically." 259 Savoir Faire: Finally, my time to shine! 39->259 40 Kim Kitsuragi: "Good, good, yes. Cold spells..." He seems incredulous. "So basically your *hangover* is telling you she's down there?" 129 You: "Call it a gut feeling." 40->129 161 You: "Yes. I can literally *talk* to my hangover. That's how bad it has gotten." 40->161 40->176 40->273 41 You: Why do I feel like I know this place? 287 Feld Mural: Indeed. Somehow you knew it was here. An urban ruin gutted by looters that once used to consume money and dispense warmth and light. 41->287 42->26 43 You: "Is this all I am? A fount of useless radio trivia?" 352 Feld Mural: IsHourBetween(8, 19) 43->352 44 Encyclopedia: Land's End? You took in the sights there with Lilienne.

He pauses to study you for a moment. "Probably not, anyway." 147 You: "I think I need to talk to some kids in the village." 52->147 197 You: "The wind told me to talk to children. Let's roll." 52->197 275 You: "I need to go to the children, Kim. Girl Child Communism. Boy Child Freedom." 52->275 53 Encyclopedia: Still nothing. Your head is full of obscure facts, none of which are helpful here. Move on before you make another scene. 53->46 225 Feld Mural: Variable["tc.ulan_frequency"] 54->225 55 Shivers: Suddenly there's a sigh, carried on the molecules around you, moving, flowing from high pressure to low pressure. Like that of a woman emptying her lungs. She wraps the collapsing stone box in front of you in her breath, flowing through it... 55->45 201 Kim Kitsuragi: "True...  But how do we even get in there?

You look at the bell tower, rising into the sky -- you look East and remember you already searched it. And found no trace of Ruby. 64->167 264 Perception (Hearing): Indeed. About 70 metres west from here. 65->264 66->102 67 Shivers: In through the collapsed roof, flowing down a concrete staircase -- to the basement, sweeping away footprints in the dust on the stairs.

You're just talking to yourself again -- the letters slowly peeling off the mural seem to form a malevolent smile. 84->315 85 Kim Kitsuragi: He stops to consider your words. "*Ask Revachol* sounds like an expression. For when you have no idea. We should continue our search.

"Can that be done *after* the murder investigation?" 180->292 181 You: "You just want to dial your favourite radio station, don't you?" 262 Kim Kitsuragi: A shuffle of nylon as the lieutenant shrugs.
