I've had this awful cough since I came back from the Shadowlands. At first I thought it was just me, but now I'm beginning to think something might be going around.

Has anyone found a remedy that helps?

I'll seek Rosuv out. Thank you.
Alarming how?

It depends on the stage of the illness but everyone infected starts coughing petals as the symptoms worsens. It’s because of this that some of our fellow Restless refer to this sickness as the “Hanahaki” virus.

[sunmon]

Hanahaki. I don't know that word.

[immortalrose]

Neither do I but it seems this illness goes by a second name as well, the Harvest's Curse.

No one seems to know much about it other than the symptoms and so far, there's no known cure.

It just allegedly...happens.

[sunmon]

The Harvest's Curse.
I wonder if that means it'll get worse.

[immortalrose]

It's not a matter of "if" but rather "when".

I don't believe there's a way to halt the progression of this illness but many strive to do just that. Myself included.

[sunmon]

If you don't think it's possible, why are you trying?

[immortalrose]

Because I'm not good at sitting idly and doing nothing.

[That's probably the most honest answer he could give her.]

[sunmon]

In stories, curses always have a source. Someone who creates them or something that people do to get cursed.
Do you know why it started?

[immortalrose]

There’s no known origins behind this curse other than the harvest itself. This sudden illness is associated with the harvest but there’s not much in means of information about what causes it. 2 out of 6 harvests have ended with this sudden sickness, further prompting the idea that something went awry.

This is the third year that this sudden sickness has appeared. That means something must’ve happened during the harvest but I haven’t been able to find anything supporting that notion.

[sunmon]

What happened to the people who contracted it over the past two harvests?

[immortalrose]

It's alleged that those who contracted this illness either succumbed to the symptoms or were miraculously healed.

Healed by what? That I cannot answer.

[sunmon]

Great.
More questions without answers.

[immortalrose]

Isn't that simply the way of life?

[sunmon]

This isn't life.
