Protagonist believed his task was simple because many have attempted the same or similar and succeeded. Terminate a tattered life phase, then embark on a journey to greater fulfillment.
He faked a traveler touring his own country. Badgered an evasive innkeeper about her enigmatic photo collage. Got acquainted with a succession of emotionally destructed individuals.
