### Step 3

- **Objective**: What are you doing here?

- **Summary**: I'm a necromancer working for House Bartali.
I was trying to communicate with the soul, as you can see.
Since Emma, the chief Bartali's granddaughter, has been having even worse nightmares,
I was examining the places from her nightmare.
I searched all of Balenos to no avail.
However, I heard something interesting from the jesters here in Heidel.
Thanks to them, I succeeded in summoning the soul, but I couldn't just talk to it yet.
But now... You popped out of nowhere and started talking to it. Unbelievable.
