Final Quest

While Torai shifts impatiently, clearly wanting to be gone from this room, you ask the man, "Can you tell me anything about this room?"
"It is my prison," the man explains, his eyes sad.
"Your prison?" Alasse asks. "But surely you can get out of here?"
"No, I cannot," the man answers. "You three may enter and exit as you please, but I am forbidden."
"Why?" you ask.
"I am dead," the old man answers.
What now?
