Lucian: Please, I beg you, help!
Lucian: What's wrong? I-I'm actually a grave robber. I have to make a living somehow...
Lucian: I promised my friend Zephyr that it would be the last time we did this. We know it's wrong.
Lucian: We... We went to take the relics from Impetusium Square. We knew it would be dangerous, but it was our last big job...
Lucian: But we really shouldn't have entered... The Balaur saw us right away and attacked.
Lucian: I got lucky and escaped, but Zephyr...
Lucian: I managed to recover the body so I could at least hold a proper funeral for my friend...
Lucian: But I think Zephyr's soul is still back there. I can't see it, but I can feel it. It has to be his soul!
Lucian: You can't have a funeral with a soulless body! Please help me!
Lucian: Thank you! You'll see my friend's soul at Impetusium Square!

Zephyr's Apparition: My dear son... I'll have you healed for good...
Zephyr's Apparition: I'm going to earn a fortune this time. So... Please stay strong. Can you do that for your father?
Zephyr's Apparition: Huh? Of course it isn't dangerous. You know me, I'm a lucky guy.
Zephyr's Apparition: I love you.
The apparition is repeating the same things over and over.

Lucian: You're back! Did you see Zephyr's soul? Did you?
Lucian: It's an apparition and not a soul? He had so much regret that he turned into an apparition... So it wasn't a soul I felt.
Lucian: What? Zephyr's Apparition... talked about his sick son?
Lucian: *sob*... Zephyr... That's why he's lingering in this world... It's entirely my fault. *sniffle*
Lucian: Yes, Zephyr's son has been weak with a chronic condition ever since he was born.
Lucian: Zephyr was always troubled because of the Kina he had to pay for medicine. I'm the one who convinced him this would be a good idea...
Lucian: I told him that he can heal his son if we do this job... I killed him! *sniffle*.
Lucian: Daeva... Please, I have to grant Zephyr's wish. *sniffle*
Lucian: I wish I can find something to heal Zephyr's son, at least. That's the only way I can apologize to my dead friend...
Lucian: You're going to help me? Th-Thank you! Can you bring me the Balaur's gear from over there?
Lucian: They use gear of good quality, so it will sell at a high price. I think the money will be enough to pay for a good doctor.

Lucian: You really brought it all back! While you were gone, I made up my mind.
Lucian: Since I'm the reason Zephyr died... I think I should take care of his son for him.
Lucian: Of course, I won't be able to completely fill the void, but it's my fault he lost his father.
Lucian: I hope Zephyr understands my feelings and can release his hold on this world.
Lucian: I'll sell the gear you brought me and use every last Kina for his son. Thank you so much.
When it is done
"I promised my friend Zephyr that it would be the last time we did this." At the Outskirts Stall, you noticed a graverobber pacing anxiously and calling out for help, a corpse lying next to him. He explained that he and his friend went into Impetusium Square for one last big score before retiring, but his friend was killed in a Balaur ambush. Worse yet, even as the graverobber struggled to successfully recover his body, his soul remained behind. You agreed to head into the square and recover the soul of the graverobber's friend so that he may hold a proper funeral. You found the friend's Apparition, rambling endlessly about his sick son. You returned and told the graverobber what the apparition said. He confirmed that his friend's son is suffering from a chronic illness, and that he had convinced his friend to take on one last job to help pay for treatment. The grief-stricken graverobber begged you to help one more time so he could recover something valuable to pass on to the boy. When you returned with some valuable Balaur gear, the graverobber shared with you his intention to care for his friend's son as penance for getting him killed.
