Book Storeroom
| ||||||||||||||||
An area of the Manor of Sleep in Fatal Frame III.
Background Info
The Book Storeroom is a library in the Manor of Sleep. It covers three floors, though only the second floor is used to store books. It is accessible via the Engraving Shrine Courtyard and the Minakami Village area. The main doors to the first floor, which open onto the Shrine Courtyard, are barred for much of the game, and the staircase leading up to the second floor has collapsed, so the upper floors can only be reached through the Twins' Room. Kei notes that the staircase doesn't appear to have rotted away, but rather looks as if something fell on it.[1] Under the stairs is the hidden ghost of a woman who was crushed in the wreckage while reaching for a book.[2]
The second floor of the storeroom contains shelves full of books about the Kuze Family and Kuze Shrine, including ritual and medical texts, maps, and historical records. The third floor was used to store ceremonial items, and has a door opening onto the rooftop, which overlooks the Engraving Shrine close by. Kaname Ototsuki, searching for his lost love Reika, was able to jump the gap and enter the Shrine, and Kei Amakura does the same. Afterwards, Amane Kuze hid behind a screen waiting for Kaname to return.
