* Having [[OsRat~~|OSRat~~]] and enough batteries allows to garner more information about the situation. All three bodies located throughout the quest can be examined with ~~OSRat~~ and their ghosts questioned. It is not required to advance the quest, but does fill out the narrative and provides additional clues.

==== Asking around ====

Pia is worried about her friend Alice being absent for longer then usual. She requests to find Alice. Pia is limited in her knowledge of Alice`s activities outside the house, due to her self-quarantine, but she does suggest that her neighbors may know something. She names [[Tatyana Gopnikova]] and [[Axel]] as the neighbors in question. She also mentions that recently Alice seemed to be spending time with a young man named [[Joel Hietala|Joel]], but she does not know his last name or whereabouts.

She also mentions that recently Alice seemed to be spending time with a young man named [[Joel Hietala|Joel]], but she does not know his last name or whereabouts.

The witnesses in question can be located in the Residential district of Obenseuer. Tatyana spends her time on the bench outside the checkpoint where the game began, waiting for her husband. Axel is the clerk at the [[Gatehouse]]. Questioning either of them gives an additional piece of puzzle. Tatyana knows that Joel's last name is Hietala and Axel have had seen Alice and Joel go into [[Tenement A]] a lot.

==== Investigating A1 ====

Those two factoids are a good indication where to look next. Since the player is guaranteed to have access to Tenement A already, the next step would be simply going in and checking the directory in the lobby. It states that Hietala occupies apartment A1. Joel himself can be found dead on the floor in the pool of blood. Investigating the apartment turns up several notes which both suggest [[Small Storage]] next to Pia's house as the next location to investigate and imply Joel had another woman involved with this. A woman who unsettled Joel with her deep religiousness. Joel`s body can be investigated with [[~~OSRat~~]], but his spirit does not say much aside from his desire to return to his body.

==== Back to Pia ====

Bringing the photo back to Pia is a logical next step, though one can possibly make a little detour to report the dead bodies to police first. It is strictly optional, however. Back with Pia, she begins by saying she knew Alice wouldn't be coming back with player. After a bit of a discussion regarding player's findings, which can vary depending on how thorough player was with investigation and how confident they are in their findings, Pia will ask player to take her letter and drop it off at the mailbox as soon as possible.

==== Pia's Murder ====

It does not matter how quick the player is - as soon as the letter is dropped into the mailbox, Pia is murdered in her sauna upstairs. Upon returning to her house, player finds that the mesh door leading into Pia's quarantined section is ajar and Pia is nowhere to be found. Going in and upstairs reveals Pia's body leaning against the wall in the sauna. OSRat can be used here again. Pia's spirit is confused about her suddenly being dead, but does say that the culprit was clearly a woman and she had Alice's keys to enter the house.

==== Fredrik's Last Clue ====

Reporting Pia's death to Fredrik ends this quest and begins [[Deeply Insane]]. Fredrik initially assumes that Pia finally succumbed to fungal disease, but when told otherwise, simply suggests the player should inform the authorities. He does know a little bit more about Joel and his roommate, however, and while he does not know her name, he does know she is a blonde woman and normally works in the mines.<references />
