You find Shawl, the owner of Shawl's Cafe, just outside of his restaurant. You approach him and introduce yourself. The expression on his face seems to be one that tells you he used to be a very jovial Pokémon, and his pained smile clues you in that he is really hurting inside.

"Well, hello there, Dash," Shawl addresses you. "How are you?"

You tell him about the investigation looking into the Stalkers. He nods, but it seems to be a subject he's had a lot of trouble talking about lately.

"It's hard to be... me in a time like this," Shawl tells you. "You see, I used to love waking up and greeting each new day. I used to laugh with my customers, talk about how things were going with them, and it seemed everything in life was perfect. And then... this all happened."

"My business is dying, my entire restaurant staff has been killed, and now I'm... I'm more alone than ever before," Shawl explains. "I don't know where I'm supposed to go from here."

"Adis kept telling me things would be okay," Shawl explains to you. "And I really thought he had things under control. I offered to help him, and he gave me something he wanted me to hold onto for safekeeping. Well, I still have it, but..."

Shawl fidgets a bit, looks to you, and nods before he goes back into his restaurant, pulls something out of a cabinet, and gives it to you.

"I guess... there's nothing left to lose by giving this to you," Shawl tells you, handing you a silver candle. "Normally, I would have only given this back to Adis or to someone he really trusted but... well, the number of Pokémon that fill those roles has dropped to almost nothing. I guess there's no harm in giving it to you, since I can't use it and it'll never be used for whatever it was supposed to be for sitting in my cabinet."

Item: [Silver Candle] has been added to the Team Inventory.

"I keep telling myself things will get better," he sighs. "Well, at least part of me does. The other part just, well, thinks maybe I'm not supposed to make it through this. And there are times at night when I just lay in bed, restless, and all of a sudden I miss everyone..."
