Scenes From a Marriage is a main quest of Hearts of Stone. Olgierd's third wish is for the violet rose he gave his wife Iris the last time he saw her. That was many years ago, and the rose should have crumbled to dust long since. The ghost of Iris haunts the abandoned von Everec manor. Geralt must wake her spirit and step into the painted world of her mind. There he relives her memories of a marriage that slowly fell apart.

Choices
Iris still holds the violet rose in the painted world. Geralt can take it from her. He then brings Olgierd the real rose, but taking it means the final end of Iris.
Geralt can also leave the rose with Iris. She then sleeps on in her painted world. Geralt finds a painting of Iris holding the rose and brings Olgierd that instead.
