Description

Your friend's memories are gone. Dat is Akunda's gift to us. He takes away our painful memories, but a lot more than dat has gone missing lately. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast, and it's getting worse by de day. Something's not right. Meijani and I had a plan. We were going to do... something... in de Valley of Sorrows. It's where Akunda keeps de forgotten memories. If you're looking for answers, finding Meijani is de best place to start.
