I don't think we'll be able to get any more clues from that little Imp.
At this rate, we won't be able to track down Red Nose. What should we do?
Aha! Let's talk to that person over there.
Although, I get the impression that he might in fact be after me...

He's standing just outside the cave entrance.
Let's go up there.

Haha, don't be surprised. I'm a friend of Edan.
You possess the black energy as well, right?
I was doing some research on the black energy that is currently inside Red Nose.
