A book has shown up out of the blue in the Item Shop.
It costs a whooping 10,000 Gems to purchase.
However, it might lead you down a path you never knew existed...
This transcript starts from when you give it to Julia.
Julia reads the Book
Julia: Hm, what's this now?
Protagonist: This book was for sale at the item shop and thought you might want to take a look at it.
Julia: ... It certainly has a... Foreboding atmosphere around it.

Protagonist: Are you going-
Julia: Now. Go.
(Allow her to keep reading/Tell her to keep reading)
