  18. 18
    Go through the door on the left to meet Avery Cork. Select dialogue options like "Your life in London?", "How is my mother?", "Does she receive medical care?" to unlock hints for him and Emelyne. Select "Personal questions" / "Leave if you could?" to unlock his final hint. You can ask him about the letter from Jonathan's father.

  31. 31
    Leave the boss chamber through the door to the east. At an intersection, use the teleport ledge to go up.
  32. 32
    Follow the passage. At the top of the stairs, go down a passage to your right to find a dead man's body.
  33. 33
    Search the body to find the Soiled Letter, which unlocks a hint about Louise Teasdale and initiates the Like Father, Like Daughter investigation.
