 She bursts into fresh tears, and turns her face away from you. You hear her whisper something over and over again.

House on a Cliff

 You follow the path up the side of a small hill, ending at the doorway of a small cabin. Past the cabin, the hill drops away into the unseen frothing sea below. Beside the path, you see a young WOMAN. She seems not to notice you, and walks almost in a dazed manner, constantly starting off towards a GRAVESTONE or the small, downwards TRAIL beside it, before immediately turning around and moving back to the cabin. She never walks down the path to the WEST (edit: EAST), and even seems hesitant to go in that direction.

 POEM: Unknown
>Talk to the woman.
 As you approach her, you see she is in tears.
 "He-Hello. Sorry I d-didn't notice you."
    1. Have you seen anyone come by?
    2. Is anything wrong?
>2.
 "It's nothing... it's just that.. m-my husband... d-d-died. I'm so sorry you have to see me like this."
    1. I'm so sorry.
    2. How?
>2.
 "It was raining. He was trying to p-put a tarp over the garden... when... the ground have wa-way beneath him... and... and he fell into the ocean!"
 She bursts into fresh tears, and turns her face away from you. You hear her whisper something over and over again.
>listen.
 You hear the crash of the waves against the rocks, and a endless whisper: "Maxwell...Maxwell...Maxwell..."

Ask 1 from the first question set ("Have you see anyone go by?").

((I meant that we do option 1 of that last choice, even after her silence. It just makes sense to me to do it when the only other choice is to walk away.))
