Talk to Scott and ask about the whereabouts of the armor
๐ 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
He's alright, he's off the peak now but that's nothing to worry about.
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
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
I sign boxers to make money, not to treat them like babies! He's not that delicate!
Scott
Instead of pitying that guy, you should feel sorry for me, who wasted all that money!
Scott
Believe it or not, these boxer scums know nothing about being grateful. He's not worth your time.
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
๐ 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.
Kluzer
...Can I help you?
Options
How are you feeling?
I came here to see you.
I just came to see the armor.
Kluzer
Same old, nothing much.
Kluzer
Thank you for your kindness, but I... *cough*... I'm fine... *cough*... It's no biggie.
Kluzer
...I'm fine, no need to worry.
Kluzer
Thank you for your kindness, but I... *cough*... I'm fine... *cough*... It's no biggie.
Kluzer
This monster armor scared a lot of people and made a lot of money.
Kluzer
*cough*... Forget I said anything if I misunderstood you... I'm alright... *cough*... Nothing wrong.
Options
You are very weak. You should see a doctor.
The armor may have adverse effects on people...
Kluzer
No, I'm fine, thanks.
Kluzer
There are no adverse effects. As I said, I'm in good health, and good shape... *cough* I can continue to fight.
Kluzer
Ahem... I have a few matches with robots in a bit, I need to prepare...
Kluzer
Cough! Cough coughโ
Onlooking Boxer
Hey, Monster Armor! Wake up, wake up!
Onlooking Boxer
Why did he fall? Is something wrong?
{NICKNAME}
(I have to take him to the clinic for a checkup...)
Talk to Natasha and arrange a health examination for Kluzer
Kluzer insists that he is fine, but you can tell from his weak look that the armor might have negatively affected him. You decide to ask Natasha, the health professional, to examine Kluzer.

Natasha's Clinic
๐ Jarilo-VI Natasha's Clinic
System
You bring Kluzer to Natasha's clinic. His frail appearance really bothers you.
Natasha
Oh? {NICKNAME}, what happened to this friend of yours?
Options
(You tell Natasha what happened)
Natasha
Armor from Fragmentum monsters? He's really got some guts to walk around wearing such a dangerous thing...
Kluzer
Mr. Scott told me that if I wear this armor to matches, I will get a raise... *cough*
Natasha
Is the money worth your life?
Kluzer
...There's a lot of holes I need to fill... *cough* with money...
Kluzer
*cough* *cough* Are we done now, doc? Can I go back now?
Options
Wait, let's read the diagnosis first.
You can't go back yet.
Natasha
Well, the report is out, but the situation... is really not good.
Natasha
The doc hasn't spoken yet... and you really can't go back like this.
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
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
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
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
...So I can't fight anymore?
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
...Yes doc.
Kluzer
I'll leave now then... Thank you, stranger.
System
Kluzer left the clinic dragging his injured body...
Natasha
You know, I've seen too many patients like this, and most of them won't follow the doctor's orders...
Natasha
{NICKNAME}, don't go yet. I need to ask you a favor.
Options
What is it?
Wow, how convenient... for you.
Natasha
A while ago, someone began sending a package full of supplies to the clinic every few days.
Natasha
The contents are always roughly the same: Food, toys, and simple clothes for children.
Natasha
Strangely, it's never the same guy who delivers the package, and none of them would tell me who the generous donor is...
Natasha
Thanks to this anonymous kind-hearted donor, the children here have more than enough things for the time being.
Natasha
...which is why now we have some extra stuff. Let me see... a few tins of milk powder, a few sets of clothes for toddlers, and two sets of storybooks.
Natasha
I'd hate to see these go to waste. Could you help me give them to someone who needs them more?
Options
Leave it to me.
You're treating me like a delivery man.
Natasha
Alright, let's go.
Natasha
Well, it's my lucky day. Now listen to me.

Options
It's dangerous for you to be here alone.

What should I do? Must I really go to Rivet Town in person?
Options
Why go to Rivet Town?
It's dangerous to go alone...
Courteous Woman
Eh? Excuse me, are you talking to me?
Courteous Woman
If I don't make a trip to Rivet Town, my sister will suffer... ugh.
Courteous Woman
But if I don't, then my sister will be in trouble... *sigh*
Options
Tell me what happened.
You must need toddler clothes then.
Courteous Woman
Eh? How do you know? I haven't even said anything yet.
Courteous Woman
My sister... she has a strange skin disease and can't wear ordinary coarse linen clothes, or else a red rash will break out all over her body, which can be unbearably painful and itchy.
Courteous Woman
Before we moved out of Rivet Town, we always went to a local tailor to convert the soft fabrics of toddler clothes into bodysuits that she could wear.
Courteous Woman
After the town fell, we lost contact with the tailor, and it became increasingly difficult to find clothes with delicate fabrics...
Courteous Woman
As the eldest sister in the family, I have to take good care of my younger sister... If necessary, I will go back to the tailor's shop in Rivet Town by myself to find some.
Options
I do have some toddler clothes. Wanna see?
Courteous Woman
...really? Please show me...
- Toddler Clothing Package x 1
Courteous Woman
Oh the fabric... I really miss it, I haven't touched a fabric this delicate for such a long time.
Courteous Woman
So how do you plan to sell these outfits? I don't have much money on me, but if it's for my sister...
Options
Have it for free.
Courteous Woman
...For real? Thank you so much. I'll go home and tailor the clothes now! When the chance comes, I'd like to treat you to my home-baked moss bread. It's super yummy when fresh out of the oven.

Hey, look at this... It looks like a letter that fell out of your clothes. Is it yours?

Are you worried about baby formula?
Why would the little guy keep crying?

I want to buy baby formula. I have been to the market several times, but the milk is expensive and always in short supply, and after the rent is paid, there's not much left...
Scraggy Miner
His mother left him and I don't have what it takes to look after him. If only I could get some baby formula, then perhaps...
Options
I happen to have some baby formula. Take these.

Check Kluzer's condition
๐ Jarilo-VI Fight Club
Natasha has confirmed that the monster armor had a negative effect on Kluzer's body and suggested he not wear it again and have some rest. But judging from his hesitant look, you doubt if he would. You decide to return to the Fight Club and check Kluzer's physical condition.

Ask the audience members about Kluzer's whereabouts
Despite being a popular boxer, Kluzer doesn't show up in the Fight Club. You're anxious to find him, so you turn to the audience to ask if they know of Kluzer's whereabouts.
Boxing Match Fan
Hey, I don't understand, how could Monster Armor be beaten so easily...
Excited Spectator
Haha, I told you so. Fighting against a five-time champ is no joke. You hear me?
Options
Is Monster Armor still in the boxing gym?
Excited Spectator
He just finished a match, and he was utterly destroyed! As soon as the match was over, he ran away, hahaha!
Boxing Match Fan
Uh... I saw him being scolded by the owner just then. Not sure where he went after.
Excited Spectator
Monster Armor got beaten up so badly. You are not thinking about getting an autograph from him, are you? I mean, all eyes are on the five-time champ now, and no one cares about that Monster Armor clown anymore!
Boxing Match Fan
But Monster Armor wasn't bad at all before. It's a shame he lost his edge...
Ask Scott about Kluzer's whereabouts
๐ 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
Of course he is. He's still under contract. Where else can he go?
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
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
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
A break!? He should first try to take a break from being such a loser!
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
Yeah, didn't I just say, he was badly injured not long ago and even got his armor broken.
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
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!
Scott
Who knows? All I saw was the guy limping away with a broken leg. He probably went looking for new armor, as he should.
Scott
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.
Scott
You think I know nothing about Fragmentum monsters, huh? I've seen some bigger and scarier ones, and if he can get his hands on one of those, then I'm willing to pay more to rehire him.
Scott
I saw the guy limping away with a broken leg. He probably went looking for new armor, as he should. And he'd better find one, or else he shouldn't even bother coming back.
Options
It's too dangerous. I'll go find him!
You are so cruel.
Scott
He probably headed to Rivet Town. That's where the monsters are, after all. If you leave now, you may still catch him.
Scott
Hmph. If you don't like this, you can just bring him back. He went looking for monsters, so he must have gone to Rivet Town.

๐ Jarilo-VI Natasha's Clinic
It turns out that Kluzer was the one who kept sending anonymous care packages to the clinic. You decide to share the news with Natasha, and ask her if she knows about Kluzer's wife and children. This is all you can do for him.
(Tell Natasha about Kluzer)
Natasha
So the anonymous donor was Kluzer...
Natasha
Oh, I remember helping him with the diagnosis when he was so weakened by that suit of armor.
Natasha
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.
Natasha
But why would he risk his life this much and be this generous? All this for what, exactly?
Options
To provide a better life for his wife and children?
I don't know...
Natasha
His financials didn't seem that good, and yet he donated so much to us at the clinic, which just doesn't make sense...
Natasha
Hmm... let me think about this...
Natasha
Did he leave any other clues?
Options
(you hand over Kluzer's letter and anonymous package)
- Anonymous Package x 1, Kluzer's Letter x 1
Natasha
The letter was postmarked and returned a long time ago.
Natasha
Why would this letter be returned? Maybe... maybe his wife and children are no longer there.
Natasha
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.
Natasha
...So, what probably happened was that he redirected all his care and love to the children in this clinic, showering us with batches after batches of supplies.
Natasha
Of course, this is just my guess. This might not be the case.
Options
Have you met his wife and children?
We have to do something for him...
Natasha
Unfortunately, no. They might already be...
Natasha
Agreed. His story should not be forgotten.
Natasha
I'll tell the kids about Mr. Kluzer. I hope they can grow up to be adults as strong and kind as he was.
Natasha
Of course, the details of the story might just need some... proper embellishment.
Natasha
But I do hope the kindness left by Mr. Kluzer will live long and prosper...
