Follow the stranger to the doctor's office.
When you arrive, he will direct you inside, and he will even give you $10 for your treatment if you are out of money.
Enter the doctor's office. Inside you will be greeted by a nurse who will quickly call a doctor.
Head into the examination room.
Walk toward the green chair and sit as soon as you get the prompt. The doctor will ask you to pay him $10 and then he will examine you.
Unfortunately, the diagnosis is that you have tuberculosis. Finally, the Doctor will give you a shot to strengthen you and you will be able to leave his office.
Walk away in any direction until you see the animal. You'll have some flashbacks on your way. Depending on your honor rating (good or bad), quotes in flashbacks, screen color and the animal that you see in the end of this mission will be different.
After completing this mission Arthur will only gain the benefit from consuming a limited amount of food and drink. It means that his cores will only refill from food and drink to a certain level. The only way to fully refill the cores is to rest or sleep.
After completing this mission, you will be able to play the mission Do Not Seek Absolution I.
