You arrive inside the room of the Astral Clocktower seeing a corpse of a woman laying in a chair.

She is a beautiful woman... a pale-skinned woman with white hair, wearing a dark, blood-red hunter's attire. Her outfit features a tricorn hat with a feather, Victorian-style attire with flowing elements, a distinctive lumenflower brooch at her neck, and deep taupe, black, and crimson colors.

The woman is covered in blood and appears as though she has been murdered. But as you hesitantly reach out to touch her, she grabs your arm.

"A corpse, should be left well alone. Oh, I know very well how the secrets beckon so sweetly. Only an honest death will cure you now. Liberate you from your wild curiosity."

Lady Maria looks as though she is ready to rise from her chair and fight you. The next thing you know she's pulling you into a hug and leaning in as if to whisper something into your ear.
