After talking with Wonweek, head to Aideen Park. Here, you'll encounter more Bloodhound Family Members. Talk to them and then you'll be given a list of unusual things to check out in the park. After the dialogue, head to the first thing to investigate which is a food stand.

You'll be directed to the stage, so approach it and more dialogue will happen. Keep going onto the stage and after the talk with Wonweek, you'll be prompted to investigate two more occurrences.

Play Golden Capsule Machine

Head to the Golden Capsule Machine nearby and interact with it. You'll need a bottlecap to play it, which you'll get later. After the dialogue, head to the last occurrence to investigate.

Interact With Trashcan

Go to the trashcan near the red fire hydrant and interact with it. You'll be prompted to give it something and be presented with different options. If you pick the other options, nothing happens. Choose Trash and proceed.

You'll obtain Pleasant-Looking Trash in return. If you keep feeding the trashcan with Pleasant-Looking Trash, it will eventually disappear and give you Sanctity of the Trashcan.

Talk to Bubble Hound

Next, head to the Bubble Hound near the slot machines to get the bottlecap needed for the capsule machine. Proceed with the dialogue to receive a SoulGlad Bottle Cap. Go back to the capsule machine.

Use SoulGlad Bottle Cap on the Capsule Machine

Use the SoulGlad Bottle Cap on the Gold Capsule Machine. It will give you a capsule, so go ahead and interact with it. A battle occurs after opening the capsule. After the fight, talk with Wonweek and you'll gain the ability Discernment Tuning.

Find the Distorted Afterecho

Using the ability, follow the notes and it'll lead you to distorted afterechoes. It will be located on top of a pool table. Investigate it and more dialogue occurs.

Tune the Dreamscape

Continue Your Journey of Reflection

After talking with Welt, continue using the ability to follow the golden notes and cross the street. Upon reaching the next area, you'll be stopped by Welt. Talk with him and after the dialogue, you'll be escorted by Welt to his companions.

Go With Welt to See His Companions
