Trauma follow-up
Florian's Counselling Session
The chapter opens by replaying the previous night's danger through a distorted vision of Cain. Selecting Hug him keeps the recorded 'princess' sequence before the scene shifts to Florian's office. The abrupt move from violent rescue fantasy to a university counselling room makes it clear that Nova has not processed what happened.
Florian structures the session as a series of questions. Ask about family leads him to discuss his parents. I don't think so continues his judgment about whether Nova is naive, and Confess reveals that Nova's mother left when she was three. Asking about his traumas then produces Florian's account of seeing his father abuse his mother when he was five. These answers build reciprocal disclosure instead of turning the scene into a simple questionnaire.
The most important truth comes when Nova chooses Confess what happened and Tell him. She explains that somebody entered during the bus-stop attack and killed the man, then describes Cain rather than lying. Florian's meter reaches roughly 54% with a positive heart indicator. The dialogue also states directly that Cain killed the attacker, resolving the ambiguity left by Chapter 1.
Florian's support is not presented as uncomplicated. He gives Nova his private number and uses language that can sound protective or possessive. Later, he places a hand on her lower back in public. The walkthrough records those actions because they explain why Cain and Abel distrust him during the theatre evacuation.
Counselling minigame
Inkblot Test Answers
The inkblot activity contains seven recorded responses. Enter a butterfly, a cat, a sheep, a bull, a face, a dog, and a person in that order. Florian reacts to several answers: he calls the cat unusual, says a famous serial killer once answered bull, writes down dog, and ends the person response with a simple 'Nice, good job.' There is no conventional score screen, so the value of the record is the exact sequence and the dialogue it unlocks.
After the final image, Florian describes the answers as weird but usable. He tells Nova not to worry, says she is in his hands, and gives her a private phone number even though he admits that doing so is not professional. The minigame therefore functions less like a psychological diagnosis and more like a narrative device that moves Florian from university employee to personal contact.
Do not treat the inkblot words as universal correct answers outside this saved route. They are the exact inputs used in the verified playthrough, and they reproduce the conversation documented by the screenshots and transcript.
University interlude
José, the Divorce Agreement, and Emily
José waits outside counselling, ignores Nova's suspicion that he was listening, and invites her to the play. In art class, the teacher spends much of the lesson discussing his failed marriage before starting a self-portrait activity. Any drawing can be completed and submitted with Continue; the recorded run uses a simple temporary sketch rather than treating the activity as a scored art puzzle.
The teacher then asks Nova to sign his private divorce agreement in the Ethan Claw signature field. Completing the mark produces 'I won't forget this,' a deliberately uncomfortable use of teacher authority. In the hallway, He's just a friend rejects Emily's claim that José is in love with Nova, but Emily continues pushing the pairing as the group heads to the theatre.
Main set piece
Theatre Backstage and Riot
José brings Nova backstage before the performance. A mysterious person is struggling inside a dressing room, and the route-impact choice offers Go in or Knock. Knock is the verified answer. The person is Abel, whose affection display appears at 50%. He asks Nova to wait while he fixes an overly tight costume, then wonders whether she came to see him perform. Nova explains that José invited her.
Cain appears backstage and reveals that he financed the production. Abel jokes that the arrangement is money laundering, and Cain does not seriously deny it. Cain also says he knows Nova's father and meets him at the Morrinson Bar at the same time every week. The exchange connects Cain's wealth, surveillance, criminal work, and interest in Nova long before she understands the full relationship.
Before the curtain, Emily again insists that Nova likes José. I don't like him that way rejects the claim. Nova then invents Abel (Popular Guy) as a crush simply to end the argument, causing Emily to accuse her of betrayal. The walkthrough keeps this consequence clear: naming Abel here is a cover story, not a permanent selection of his romance route.
The play depicts two factions manipulated by a king, with Abel in a serious role and José apparently playing a tree. A real body or violent incident interrupts the performance, the audience panics, and Cain orders Nova to leave. Abel and Florian converge during the evacuation. Florian calls himself Nova's psychologist and touches her lower back; Cain immediately challenges whether that contact belongs in his job.
Chapter ending
Who Takes Nova Home?
The final route choice offers Florian, Cain, or Abel as an escort. The saved walkthrough chooses Cain. His affection display rises to 55%, and he quietly tells Nova that he always carries a knife. The line functions as both reassurance and warning, maintaining the chapter's refusal to separate romance from danger.
This ending supplies the exact state used by Chapter 3: Cain takes Nova home, Emily has already lied to Dad about Nova's whereabouts, Florian has become an emergency contact, and Abel is now directly connected to both Nova and the theatre mystery.
