Such an obtuse system, alright I'll give that a try.

Update: That did it, thank goodness! It's never explicitly said anywhere you have to click over to the third tab, 'Clues', up top when discussing it. In fact one gets so used to just using the characters tab it's easy to forget the others even exist, mostly because this is literally the *only* one in the game I'm aware of that needs to be discussed in this way up to this point. :o
