Staying true to my promise to Stoic Alder, I rescued some damaged flora and fauna, which I'll rehabilitate at my homestead. Thinking back to my arrival here, I recall some whispers of weather and environmental changes among the villagers. At the time, I was too preoccupied by other matters to show much concern. Now I'm experiencing firsthand just how much the titans' presence has disrupted the local ecosystem. Hopefully, our efforts will help curtail the casualties. But I can't overlook the reality: we're treating the symptoms while the disease looms large. ***
