For Caterpillar, the monster disguised as a human, things appeared to have gotten worse. Since the guards have discovered his "secret," which is that he is a hilichurl, he has been imprisoned in a room within the Fortress of Meropide's dorms. But thankfully for the two of you, the man who guards his door, Estienne likes him so he lets you inside easily.

There stands an Anemo Hilichurl Rogue, the monster in human skin. His statue is tall and intimidating, but he has no malice. "Traveler, you came.. I'm sorry for dragging you two into this. My plan was to get Lanoire home to her family, then return on my own. But it looks like that plan was a complete failure." he spoke in a deep tone, gazing down at you through his hilichurl mask.
