'''Is this Griffin?''' | |||
Hello, | |||
I found your email address on the official website and decided to send an inquiry. | |||
I don't have any particularly professional questions, just a simple one: Are you a legitimate PMC? Why does your recruitment policy seem so lax? Why would you employ a Doll who can't even defeat military recon canine drones and who frequently suffers from amnesia...? | |||
What kind of work can such a useless Doll perform at your company? She might spill coffee while serving it or get lost on her way back to her dorm. Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of joining. My professional resume is outstanding, and I have already achieved financial freedom. There's absolutely no need for me to join your company. | |||
I am sending this email purely out of curiosity. What kind of Commander would be willing to accept such a problematic Doll? And what kind of team could such a Commander possibly lead? | |||
I will continue to observe you. | |||
Out of fascination with the macabre, of course. | |||

Hello, | |||
Given how events have unfolded, you should have learned my identity by now, so there is no point in hiding it any longer. | |||
Yes, both Erma and I were developed by Dr. Arthur Hume. However, the difference in our capabilities is beyond your imagination. | |||
Please, do not compare me to her. Even the domestic Dolls at my home are more intelligent that she is. In any case, I am not entirely sure how you are faring at the moment. The only information I have received is that you vanished into thin air while being in a very precarious situation. | |||
Erma and I are searching for something that might save you. | |||
I do hope you can hang in there long enough for us to save you, as I find you more and more intriguing. | |||
But don't get the wrong idea. That was not a show of concern. | |||

Avernus lies destroyed, but there is no fanfare after leaving the fog of the Dead Sea, only more doubts and conspiracies. Erma leaves the Elmo in search of hope and returns to the garden where past secrets are buried. Is a foe or a friend waiting for her? Can she bring back hope and save the Commander?
The Summer Garden of Forking Paths is the prologue to Episode 15[1] and is classified as Episode 15.1.[2]
In-game mails
6 August 2024 (from a mysterious sender (Stevens M520))
Is this Griffin?
Hello,
I found your email address on the official website and decided to send an inquiry.
I don't have any particularly professional questions, just a simple one: Are you a legitimate PMC? Why does your recruitment policy seem so lax? Why would you employ a Doll who can't even defeat military recon canine drones and who frequently suffers from amnesia...?
What kind of work can such a useless Doll perform at your company? She might spill coffee while serving it or get lost on her way back to her dorm. Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of joining. My professional resume is outstanding, and I have already achieved financial freedom. There's absolutely no need for me to join your company.
I am sending this email purely out of curiosity. What kind of Commander would be willing to accept such a problematic Doll? And what kind of team could such a Commander possibly lead?
I will continue to observe you.
Out of fascination with the macabre, of course.

I suppose you have finally caught on to everything
Hello,
Given how events have unfolded, you should have learned my identity by now, so there is no point in hiding it any longer.
Yes, both Erma and I were developed by Dr. Arthur Hume. However, the difference in our capabilities is beyond your imagination.
Please, do not compare me to her. Even the domestic Dolls at my home are more intelligent that she is. In any case, I am not entirely sure how you are faring at the moment. The only information I have received is that you vanished into thin air while being in a very precarious situation.
Erma and I are searching for something that might save you.
I do hope you can hang in there long enough for us to save you, as I find you more and more intriguing.
But don't get the wrong idea. That was not a show of concern.

Report on the Special Operation
Commander,
Although I'm not sure if you will receive this, I am sending this report to you as per Griffin's protocol. After you went missing, Stevens M520 got in touch with us, claiming to have critical information that could save you. Consequently, Erma went to Frankfurt as per her request to investigate.
…I'll skip the details for now. Just know that we have achieved the desired outcome, and that Erma has successfully secured a critical bargaining chip for you. I believe that once you return, everything will start moving in a positive direction.
We are all awaiting your return.
