Talk to Scott and ask about the whereabouts of the armor

๐Ÿ“ Jarilo-VI Boulder Town

After finding the monster armor for Scott, you finally receive the rest of the reward. But something about that strange armor makes you worry. Although you've mentioned this to him, you know well that he might not take it seriously. So you decide to check on it again...
How is Monster Armor now?
Scott
Scott
He's alright, he's off the peak now but that's nothing to worry about.
Scott
Scott
I'll get him to fight a robot a few times next, just to heat things up again.
Options
I'm worried about contamination by the armor...
Scott
Scott
Contamination? Don't be ridiculous, what kind of contamination can the armor have? I think that guy is ridiculously strong. He can smash the robot with his bare hands.
Options
I'll go and check on him.
Oh yeah? I don't believe you.
Scott
Scott
I sign boxers to make money, not to treat them like babies! He's not that delicate!
Scott
Scott
Instead of pitying that guy, you should feel sorry for me, who wasted all that money!
Scott
Scott
Believe it or not, these boxer scums know nothing about being grateful. He's not worth your time.
Scott
Scott
You know what, he's actually got a match today, and he's in there. Go and talk to him, just leave me alone.

Talk to Kluzer and ask about his health status

๐Ÿ“ Jarilo-VI Fight Club

The armor is soaked with the air of Fragmentum. Using it for a long time might impact the health of the user. Scott doesn't take your advice and arranges for Kluzer the boxer to wear it whenever he competes. You're worried about Kluzer's physical condition.

Armor from Fragmentum monsters? He's really got some guts to walk around wearing such a dangerous thing...

Options
Wait, let's read the diagnosis first.
You can't go back yet.
Natasha
Natasha
Well, the report is out, but the situation... is really not good.
Natasha
Natasha
The doc hasn't spoken yet... and you really can't go back like this.
Natasha
Natasha
Look here, these are all old wounds which should have healed long ago, but not only did the wounds not heal, there are crystal-like things on the surface.
Natasha
Natasha
I have checked, and these crystals are very similar in composition to the detritus in the Fragmentum. I've seen some patients affected by Fragmentum corrosion and your current symptoms are similar to theirs.
Natasha
Natasha
Corrosion is like a kind of chronic toxin. It constantly interferes with the normal healing process of wounds, which in turn increases the burden on the organs, and can lead to organ failure in severe cases.
Natasha
Natasha
In short, you can no longer touch this armor, and you must cease all fighting activities for the time being. Get some good rest, recover from your injuries, and come back to me for follow up.
Kluzer
Kluzer
...So I can't fight anymore?
Natasha
Natasha
I'm not being alarmist. If you go on like this, sooner or later you'll fall in the ring โ€” the kind of fall you'll never recover from. Do you understand?
Kluzer
Kluzer
...Yes doc.

I'll leave now then... Thank you, stranger.

Ask Scott about Kluzer's whereabouts

๐Ÿ“ Jarilo-VI Boulder Town

The cold words of the boxing audience make you even more worried for Kluzer. Having done a long hard search without success, you decide to ask Scott about Kluzer's whereabouts. As the owner of the club, he must know something.
Is Kluzer still here?
Scott
Scott
Of course he is. He's still under contract. Where else can he go?
Scott
Scott
He's just another has-been who can't adapt to the audience's tastes... Hmph. He's now just in it for the base wage that I charitably trickle down to him!
Options
What do you mean by "has-been"?
So boxing is all about winning?
Scott
Scott
Ha! You obviously don't pay much attention to our boxing matches, do you? He was beaten so badly by the five-time champ. It was such a one-sided fiasco.
Scott
Scott
Ha, winning won't be enough! Making money for me is more important than winning games.

Scott
Besides, he can't even win anymore. He was beaten so badly by the five-time champ. It was such a one-sided fiasco.
Scott

I know the audience too well. They quickly tire of the old and are constantly chasing after the new. Whoever beats the latest crowd favorite gets to be the next super star.
Options
Then why is he still fighting?
He should just take a break.

Scott
What else can he do to put food on the table? It's not like you are gonna pay for his living.
Scott
Scott
A break!? He should first try to take a break from being such a loser!
Scott
Scott
If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have sent him to the Fragmentum to find a new set of armor. Should always leave things like this to pros like you.
Options
New armor?
Scott
Scott
Yeah, didn't I just say, he was badly injured not long ago and even got his armor broken.
Scott
Scott
He should've tried to be a gracious loser and recognized the massive gap in strength between himself and his opponent.
Scott

But that guy doesn't seem to know when to quit. Ever since he woke up from his concussion, he has been pestering me nonstop, begging me to give him another chance in the ring.
Scott
Scott
Luckily for him, I was in a particularly merciful mood today. So I told him that the audience has been long sick of his old shtick. If he wants to win back the audience, he simply needs to find himself a much more powerful monster for a different set of armor.
Options
Is he still fit to fight in his condition?
There're no different kinds of monster armor!

Who knows? All I saw was the guy limping away with a broken leg. He probably went looking for new armor, as he should.

But who cares! Monster Armor has already made me quite some money. He can go wherever he wants. After all, it's a free town here.

Oh, I remember helping him with the diagnosis when he was so weakened by that suit of armor.

I never approved of how he risked his life like that. I can't imagine how strong-willed he must be to manage to do all this in his condition.

Why would this letter be returned? Maybe... maybe his wife and children are no longer there.

It must have been really hard for him to accept this reality. He went through all that trouble to secure a job that could finally provide for his family, only to find himself no longer having a family to provide for.
