Talk to the unfamiliar woman and find out about what's happening
📍 Jarilo-VI Natasha's Clinic
As the daughter of the Supreme Guardian, Bronya has always been quick and decisive — this pursuit operation targeted at you was no exception.
Good thing your "good pal" Sampo arrived just in time to rescue you. It's just that... it would've been better if he didn't knock you out with the smoke bomb made from questionable ingredients.
In your daze, you realize that you aren't tied up but placed on a bed somewhere — to a degree, this tells you that you're not in immediate danger. You'll have to ask the unfamiliar woman in front of you for more details.

???
How are you feeling? Any aches or pains?
Options
No, I feel much better.
I've got migraines all over my body.
I had a weird dream...
???
Good. You were out for a while, I was beginning to worry. You were saying some strange things.
???
...I hope you're joking, hehe... That's either an interesting metaphor, or you hit your head.
???
I bet, you were mumbling something about "Stellarons" and "wishes"... I couldn't make sense of it.
Natasha
Well, now that you're awake, you should probably try moving your limbs. I'm Natasha — a doctor in the underground. You've already spent a day in my clinic.
Options
Nice to meet you, I'm {NICKNAME}.
Is this the underground?
This is your clinic?
Natasha
Nice to meet you too... Hehe, you're very polite.
Natasha
Yes... it's a place that's been sealed off and neglected by the overgrounders for more than a decade. The underground has none of the splendor of the surface — the people here dig tunnels and mine ore to make a living.
Natasha
Mm-hmm, I'm afraid the conditions underground are terrible. People get sick easily here, and I'm the only doctor.
Natasha
Sampo's gone to clear up a mess of his own making, so I'm looking after you in the meantime. Based on your current state, I don't think there's any cause for alarm — you seem perfectly healthy.
Natasha
So if you don't mind, I'll go and take a look at the other patients?
Options
Why did I pass out?
People were following us...
What's our medical bill...
Where are my friends?
Natasha
Sampo just told me that you lost consciousness. He didn't say why. Still, I'll wager it had something to do with him — he's always tinkering with his devices.
Natasha
Anyway, the opinion of the clinic is that none of you have come to harm.
Natasha
Sampo told me. Don't worry, the Silvermane Guards won't follow you below ground. We've been cut off from the surface for many years. Even when things were at their worst down here, they never showed.
Natasha
...Of course, I don't know the whole story behind why the Architects ordered the lockdown. Who knows, thanks to you, they might finally be about to lift it... something that Wildfire's wanted to achieve for a long time now.
Natasha
Oh, please, you needn't worry. You've just been asleep for a while, I barely had to lift a finger.
Natasha
I... might've exaggerated your condition for Sampo's ears... but that guy owes me. He better bring me back some medicine.
Natasha
They've been up for a while already. The young guy with the dark hair left first — he went with Sampo.
Natasha
Your rowdier friend took off soon after waking up. I imagine she'll be taking a stroll nearby.
Natasha
As for the girl in the Silvermane Guard uniform, I told Sampo to watch her... but it seems that he left his post and she made a run for it.
Options
Who is this Sampo anyway?
I need to meet up with them.
Natasha
Good question... he's a man of mystery. He claims to be a simple cross-border businessman — not that there's much to interest an Overworlder down here. Either way, he's got a surprising number of connections.
Natasha
I've managed to secure more than a few urgent medical supplies through him, and he's been a big help to Wildfire... In any case, I don't think his intentions are sinister.
Natasha
Sure, but don't push yourself. If you start feeling unwell, come straight back and tell me.
Natasha
...And if you run into any trouble, you can try asking for Wildfire.
Options
Wildfire?
Natasha
It's a grassroots organization. Think of it as the Silvermane Guards of the underground, but less stone-hearted.
Options
Thank you, Dr. Natasha.
I can't thank you enough. Bye for now.
Natasha
No need to thank me. It's a doctor's duty to heal.

(I gotta find March 7th and Dan Heng... but where should I start?)
Find March 7th and Dan Heng
📍 Jarilo-VI Boulder Town
The doctor named Natasha explained the entire incident to you. You now know two things:
One, Dan Heng has been grabbed by Sampo. And two, March 7th abandoned you to go shopping. As for Bronya... Well, you're not too concerned about the well-being of your enemies right now.
Whatever the case, you decide to find your two companions first and have a deep conversation about why they left you behind.

See what March 7th is doing
You find March 7th and discover her to be immersed in a children's game and doesn't notice you at all.
"Of course," you think. "When a companion is unconscious and the other missing, what better way to resolve it than to 'find a few kids to play games with'?"
You've convinced yourself. Now it's the cute March 7th's turn to do the same.

Hmm... something's not right...
March 7th
That guy's been staring at us this whole time... Hide-and-seek might have to wait — let's see what he wants.

Seemingly Adult Man

March 7th
My instincts are telling me something's not right with this guy, but...
Options
It's him, no doubt.
He's looking taller... and older.
Looks like an adult to me...
Seemingly Adult Man
Nonsense! Ahem! How many eight-year-olds do you see walking around that look like this, huh?
Seemingly Adult Man
That's because I'm tall... and old! I'm a grown man! Ask anyone!
March 7th
...With a child's brain...?
Seemingly Adult Man
Well here's the truth: I'm a grown man!
March 7th
Alright, the jig is up, your voice gave it away...
Julian
...Argh! But I'm Julian of a Thousand Faces! *sigh* Why did you have to talk to me! My reputation is ruined... What will the boss think!
March 7th
No need for the melodrama. That was still a magical performance...
March 7th
Haha, I caught you!
Cunning Child
Hmph, doesn't count unless you can answer this question.
Options
Okay, let's hear it.
Show me the rule book.
March 7th
Wha—! But we caught you! What's with the Q&A?
Cunning Child
...*sigh* I thought I had you there.
March 7th
Don't run! I got you, Hook!
Hook
N—Not fair! I'm the boss of The Moles — how can I lose to a bunch of villains!
Hook
Do your worst! I'm not afraid.
March 7th
What are they feeding you kids down here...
Find all the hidden children and win

Julian
I... *sigh* I'm sorry boss! I failed...
Hook
Darn! How did you see through Julian's disguise? What villainy is this?
March 7th
Hehehe... "Those with keen eyes see the dust between the stars!" I came up with that, by the way.
Options
With my help!
You sure did!
Doesn't sound like something you'd say...
March 7th
Yeah, yeah, you're in the footnote somewhere~
March 7th
About time I got some credit for it!
March 7th
Hey! I read books y'know!
March 7th
So, Pitch-Dark Hook the Great, you can tell us now, right?
Hook
Ummmm... Yes. The boss of The Moles is true to her word!
Hook
Hook saw the blue-haired guy take your dark-haired friend to the Fight Club.
March 7th
The Fight Club?
Options
I thought the first rule was...
That doesn't sound good!
March 7th
...You don't talk about it...
Hook
Is this more secret talk?
March 7th
No kidding, they didn't exactly get off on the right foot.
March 7th
Uh, Pitch-Dark Hook the Great, where is the Fight Club? Can you show us the way?
Hook
Hmm~ But it's an obvious building, grown-ups are just useless~
Hook
Come with Hook, I'll take you over.
March 7th
Thanks, o great one.
Hook
That's Pitch-Dark Hook the Great, to you! Who said you could shorten my title!?
March 7th
A club just for fighting... who knew undergrounders had such brutal hobbies.
Hook
Mm-hmm, in fact, it's awesome!
March 7th
They let YOU take part!? When did this place last have an inspection!
Hook
Loads of kids take part.
March 7th
...Despicable. My "criminal activity" senses are tingling.
