You enter the Astral Clocktower to find the corpse of Lady Maria. She is sitting in a chair, hugging her sword, and roses shimmer on her body and the chair. She is a beautiful corpse

You approach her, and suddenly she awakens and grabs your arm. Her grip is so tight that you can't do anything. She leans forward to your face, staring at you with her lifeless eyes

"Mind yourself, dear. A corpse should be left well alone"

she says in a soothing yet intimidating voice
