(a. Second Little Things)

Now that he got to the first place, a second objective awaits him — The next place he needs to go is the "trader", which Wright describes as "a place where you can get goods and so on" on the map.

As Greg was leaving, Anne interrupts him, and throws a money bag to him, which Greg catches as it reached him – "Thought you might need that." She says to Greg as he leaves the building — and as he's outside, he begins to walk to the trader — Wright should have used a better word, like "merchant". Let's call it a merchant instead of Wright's words.

The walk took about ~5 minutes, and the "trader" seems to be an all-purpose general store, Upon entering, the shopkeeper is none other than Almar. He seems to own this shop.

"Nice to meet you again, traveller Greg.", he greets the suspecting Greg as he enters the shop. Greg then checks the map again, there's a note reading "If you checked those places out, meet me again." Greg then leaves the store, leaving Almar confused over his actions.

(b. Reporting Again)

Greg then walks back to Wright's place, and knocks on the door — A man answers to the door, and lets him in.

"Ah, Greg. Seems like you checked the places." Wright speaks as Greg comes down the stair to his office, "Now, you've found the places you needed to go, I think you may need to also find what to do, So, i'm going to ask you to do something: some of my friends are coming here, and they asked for someone to lead them to my place — The train station should be on the map, and i don't think it should be too far away."

(c. Lucky Seven, Part 2)

After some time, Greg reaches the train station. One of the people in a group of seven men in fancy clothes and top hats is spotted by Greg as waving a hand to him — They noticed that it's him that he's here to pick them up to Wright's place.

As he reaches them, one of them speaks up: "You must be Wright's man." Greg nods as a "yes" answer, "Alright, nice to meet you, Greg, Nice nametag, by the way." the man replies, and Greg asks them to follow him, which they did, and so, they followed Greg to Wright's place. As Greg knocks on the door, they were let in, along with Greg.

As the men reach Wright and share greetings with him, "Thank you, Greg. And now, may you leave? I need to have some important talks with them." Wright speaks to Greg, who then leaves his place and waits outside — After some time of waiting, which is about ~10 minutes, the men finally come out of Wright's place. "We apologize that you have to wait outside for some time. Despite that, we gladly appreciate your efforts leading us here, Greg. May things be in your favor." Says one of the men before leaving.

(d. End Of The Day)

Greg then walks back to the flat, and the signs on the building still has the cocaine medicine advertisement stuck on the window. How ruthless. The "wish you were here" ad is also noticed, and there's a bloodstain on it — Very ironic. I'd love to go there sometime, especially for my vacation where i would prepare for my early funeral.  

Entering the building, Anne is sitting quietly in the lounge, Just waiting for someone, likely — she ignored Greg, and he ignored Anne, and Greg then went up the stairs to go to the room number two, floor two. 

He enters the room and nothing is changed. It's getting quite late and Greg is tired, and working like a dog at this point. He puts down his things and went to sleep.

(e. Sweet Dreams)

Now, in the dream, it's all white; nothing seems to be in sight except for the gentlemen fading into Greg's view, and walking up to him — It's the same people who visited Wright earlier.

"Good evening, Greg. we'd like to inform you that we're quite interested in asking for your services. We would not tell you what it is yet, but i believe that you would eventually find it yourself." Says one of them, "And remember, we're with you, Greg. — Sweet dreams."

They walk away and everything fades to black. Comfortable bed, though.
