Cliff Faints

Walk into Rose Plaza and you'll see Cliff collapse in the middle of the plaza! He mumbles something about how the white snow reminds him of the day he left the town he was born. Cliff drops a photograph on the ground, which you pick up before heading to the inn for help.

You recruit Ran, Carter, and Dudley to help take Cliff to the clinic. Doctor is glad that you found Cliff before something bad happened. He's going to have Cliff stay at the clinic for a while and tells everyone to head home.

Cliff will stay at the clinic for 3 days. After that, he'll go back to his normal schedule. The clinic's front door will still be locked on Wednesday mornings, trapping Cliff inside if he's still bed-ridden during his 3-day stay. Doctor will return to the clinic around 11:00 am on Wednesdays to allow for visitors.

If you happen to faint from exhaustion while Cliff is resting at the clinic, you'll see a scene where Cliff gets booted from the clinic's only bed so you can rest there instead. He'll collapse again in the clinic lobby, where Elly will drag him off-screen somewhere.

Since you are still carrying around Cliff's photograph, you can choose to return it to him if you'd like. This can be done while he is still resting at the clinic or once he is back on his feet. When you give Cliff back his photograph, he will explain that it is a photograph of his sister and mom. Cliff hated living in his hometown, so he left to travel, leaving his sister and mom behind. When he eventually returned, he discovered that his mom had passed away. Cliff doesn't know what happened to his sister. After that, he wandered from town to town by himself until he arrived in Mineral Town. Sadly, this place reminds him of his hometown. Cliff will then thank you for finding his photograph and you'll earn +20 FP with him.

The photograph cannot be given as a gift to anyone else and can't be sold via the shipping bin or at Huang's shop.
