Emma Woods Diaries

This page contains the manor events and diary entries for the Gardener, Emma Woods. These are obtained after completing her deduction quests.

Once the Diaries are completed, Emma's Dark Side costume will be unlocked.

## Manor Events

The following events are based off of Orpheus' deduction as he reads Emma Wood's Diary written during the Gardener's time at Oletus Manor. Emma was a participant in the game involving Emily Dyer, Kreacher Pierson, and Freddy Riley. She was the first to arrive out of the four survivors. Their hunter was Hell Ember.

### Diary 1: July 7th - Emma Woods

> *Today is my second day in this manor.*
>
>

> *The quarrell between Mr.Riley and Mr. Pierson is getting worse.*
>
>

> *Perhaps I should go talk to Mr. Riley.*
>
>

> *After all, he was the one that drew first blood.*
>
>

It's the second day of entering the estate. Riley and Pierson had frequent disagreements, with Riley being the one to start the arguments. Emma tried to talk to Riley to stop arguing, but Riley told her to speak to Pierson, who should be at the dining hall, to stay away from him. Emma arrives at the dining hall, but doesn't find Pierson. Instead, Emily enters the room as well, and the two introduce themselves to each other. Emily leaves because she wants to look around the mansion, and Emma goes on to meet Pierson. Pierson attempts to invite Emma to tour the garden together, but Emma tries to raise his problem with Riley first, noting how he's acting out of the ordinary. Pierson appears to lose his composure and runs off. Meanwhile, Emily returns and requests Emma's help to find her room.

Emma excuses herself from Pierson and takes Emily to her room, informing her about Pierson on the way. Emily distrusts Pierson, despite Emma's reassurances that Pierson is a good man. After arriving at the room, Emily leaves some final words of warning, and tips off Emma to investigate the statue in the dining hall.

Emma returns to the dining hall, and discovers that the statue's pedestal is actually a drawer with no handles or keyholes. However, Emma has more immediate concerns and she heads off to the garden to seek out Pierson once again.

Arriving at the garden, Emma once again could not find Pierson. She yells for him and searches the bushes in case he ducked into them, but he is still nowhere to be found. Emma questions her memory and concedes that perhaps Pierson didn't run to the garden at all. She frets as she thinks about the inevitable conflict between Riley and Pierson at night, wondering aloud with anyone could solve the problem.

Emma hears a sound, and turns around to see the scarecrow talking to her. Scarecrow introduces itself and invites her to talk to it regarding her problems—perhaps it could fulfill her wishes. Emma doesn't believe it, unless it could prevent Riley and Pierson from meeting each other. Scarecrow tells her to just wait, as her wish will quickly come true. Pierson listens in on them.

Emma concludes that her exchange with Scarecrow was probably just her being delusional. She commits to burning it down if Riley and Pierson are still arguing at dinner that night.

> *That couldn't have been real.*
>
>

> *The conversation just now must have been a hallucination.*
>
>

> *I need to have a good sleep.*
>
>

> *We can't continue to argue like this tonight.*
>
>

> *I will go to the garden tomorrow and burn it.*
>

If Emma chooses to whisper instead of speaking in a loud voice to Pierson, he punches her.

### Diary 2: July 9th - Emma Woods

> *Emily...*
>
>

> *My angel.*
>
>

> *I feel at peace when I look into her eyes.*
>
>

> *Is this the beauty of friendship?*
>
>

> *I think I'll go chat with her again today. I want to get to know her better.*
>
>

Thereafter, Kreacher Pierson and Freddy Riley's arguments came to a halt, which means Scarecrow's promise held true. Emma found that marvelous and went to visit him more often, although evading others' notice was a hassle.

Emma prepares to meet with Scarecrow again, but thinks that she should check the balustrade before heading to the garden, grabbing the toolbox in the meanwhile. Emma checks the damaged handrail, and sees that the wood has completely rotted and needs a complete replacement. However, she doesn't want to make Scarecrow mad, and so opts to head to the garden regardless. As she went down, she finds a Toolkit on a table and proceeds to grab it, adding that nobody else would take it anyway.

Emma evades Pierson, who is waiting for Emma, in the dining hall and Emily in the hallway to the garden door. She arrives at the garden late and apologizes to Scarecrow, but he is unresponsive. She explains her circumstance some more and confesses to him, hugging him.

Emily happens upon Emma and apologizes for interrupting, followed by a request to Emma to introduce her to the "mister". Since Scarecrow was silent like a typical scarecrow, Emma was worried, but after observing Emily's reaction, she felt at ease. Emma muses that she should talk to Emily more and perhaps become friends, while not understanding why Scarecrow won't talk to other people.

> *Mr. Pierson has become more violent.*
>
>

> *Maybe the quarrel with Mr. Riley changed him? Or...*
>
>

> *This is his "real face."*
>
>

##### **Restoration Failures**

Being caught by either Kreacher Pierson in the dining room or Emily Dyer in the hallway.

* **Completion Tips:** Kreacher is avoided by overturning a dining room chair and running away while he is distracted (crouching will not get Emma away fast enough before he returns to his spot), while Emily is avoided by hiding within the Closets and/or the behind the folding divider on the way to the garden.

### Diary 3: July 11th - Emma Woods

> *Emily...*
>
>

> *My angel, my cure.*
>
>

> *I feel at peace when I look into her eyes.*
>
>

> *Is this the beauty of friendship?*
>
>

> *I think I'll go chat with her again today. I want to get to know her better.*
>
>

Emma expresses fondness towards Emily in her diary and hopes to talk more with her in order to get to know her better. So, at the end of breakfast, she heads to Emily's room to discuss Scarecrow with her.

On the way, Pierson intercepts Emma, and becomes hugely disappointed when he was rejected again in Emma's haste to see Emily. He attempts to assault Emma, and she tries to flee. However, the doors are locked and Pierson is guarding the only way out of the dining hall. Emma knocks over a vase to distract him then charges out of the hall while Pierson isn't looking.

Pierson ultimately catches up to Emma, and Emma exclaims that he's gone mad. Pierson replies that he's just trying to be friendly to her. Emma rejects him, and Pierson argues that he should be a better lover than a cold scarecrow. After seeing her reaction, Pierson expresses realization and leaves, saying that she'll regret her actions.

Pierson's behaviour unsettles Emma greatly, as if he turned into another person. She notes that he recovered his rationality temporarily, but also that when he left he looked much moodier. She recalls Emily's earlier words of warning and resolves to be more careful.

> *Mr. Pierson's behavior scared me.*
>
>

> *He seemed to become another person.*
>
>

> *Despite the brief return of his logic and reason, he looked even more unnerving when he left.*
>
>

> *Emily was right, this person is dangerous.*
>
>

> *I'll have to be more cautious.*
>
>

##### Restoration Failures

1)Kreacher discovers Emma in the dining room and after calling her sweetheart declares that they are "meant to be together."

* **Completion Tips:** A Blue Vase can be found in the Laundry room next to the garden door after 3 doors are checked and found to be locked. Knocking the vase over will bring Kreacher to the laundry room, and Emma will need to hide in a closet while he passes by. Kreacher walks over slow enough that Emma can reach some of the closets closer to the dining room.

2)Emma drags Emily into the fray.

### Diary 4: July 13th - Emma Woods

> *Kreacher Pierson is missing.*
>
>

> *Freddy Riley said that he escaped.*
>
>

> *Who knows for sure, but it's a good thing for me.*
>
>

> *The owner of the Manor summoned everyone today.*
>
>

> *Fortunately, my trunk is big enough to bring Mr. Skelkro. The game has begun.*
>
>

Kreacher Pierson has gone missing, Freddy Riley thinks that he ran away, but Emma doesn't care since him being away is a good thing. The owner called for everyone to gather to begin the game, and Emma is thankful that her luggage bag is large enough to fit Scarecrow in. As Emma pushes on the luggage, she comments that Scarecrow is heavier than he looks, so heavy that she doesn't know what will become of him in the future. The luggage wiggles and a muffled noise can be heard. Emma then looks towards Emily who is talking with Riley, and thinks that Emily shouldn't be with him, as he is dangerous.

A hunter appears, and Emma tells her darling inside the suitcase to be quiet lest they be discovered. They reach the Minerva Arms Factory, and Emma investigates the surroundings and is unhappy at the recreation of Minerva Arms factory, calling it a "poor joke." She eventually finds Emily's first aid kit with the syringes missing outside one of the windows. In order to

Reaching the open exit gate, Emma carts the suitcase over so that she can set the scarecrow within aflame. She claims that "time's up" and that the scarecrow should be happy that she's doing this for her beloved, as it's a part of her in a way.

> *Note: the last page of the diary is missing. Maybe I can figure out what happened by looking at another diary.*

> *After all, a talking scarecrow is impossible.*
>

##### Restoration Failures

Emma gets caught, and the last thing she thinks is that, it's... him.

* **Completion Tips:** Emma while carrying the suitcase is much slower than normal, and once she grabs the luggage handles the player cannot let go unless she gets hit. Emma can take one free hit, but the second one from the hunter will end the reconstruction. Note that orange footsteps lead in a straight line between the Factory entrance and the Exit Gate, but this is almost the exact route the hunter patrols in bot instances. The hunter has a small detection range, so as long as you take an indirect route and make sure you have obstacles blocking you from the view of the hunter whenever he's close then its not too hard to avoid him.

## Canon Manor Game

We can gather who was in a canon Manor Game together by information in Letters and Diaries, and very occasionally from character quotes during events.

Edits to this table can be made here.

## Further Analysis and Notes

* "Emma Woods" is not her true name, as she was originally named Lisa Beck. As a child, and after she had lost both her parents, Lisa Beck was treated by Emily Dyer during their time at White Sand Street Asylum.
* According to his diaries, Kreacher Pierson began dressing up as the scarecrow to catch Emma's attention on July 11th, and it seems he continued to do so after that date.
* Emma recognizes Hell Ember if she gets the opportunity to see him up close.
* In Japanese Server of the game, there an extra diary entry from Emma, who leaves a warning to leave the manor, instead of Orpheus's ending monologue.
	+ This is translated as "There's no perfect ending. Don't make deals with the devil forever. If anyone finds this diary, please don't continue like this. Leave quickly."
