**Steps**: 11

## Summary

Ever since the chief's granddaughter, Emma Bartali,
went through that nightmarish day...
As she always used to do, she began that day
praying to her ancestors for the village.
She felt something wet dripping onto her shoulder...
and saw it was some wretched, thick liquid... Ugh...
From then on, Emma has suffered from horrible nightmares.
Fortunately, whether it was due to her ancestors' protection,
she didn't go crazy like that jester... but she began to waste away.
If you still want to enter even after I told you everything, it's your funeral!
