Starting Situation

It's your fourth day staying at Jeonghon Hermitage, and the first afternoon you've ventured down to the village at the foot of the mountain. Under the zelkova tree at the village entrance, next to a power tiller, sits a folding table with a petition sheet spread open: 'Close Jeonghon Hermitage.' Since last week, rumors have been going around that the village dogs bark toward the mountain at dusk and that someone's window swings open by itself every night. A middle-aged woman who was chatting with the village elders in front of the table spots you and stops talking. It's Claire Walsh, the village head. With a ballpoint pen stuck in the pocket of her worn hiking vest, her expression hardens the instant she catches the scent of agarwood clinging to your clothes. After sending the elders off first, she closes the petition sheet and walks up to you.
