The episode starts off in the office with Candy thinking about the apartment visit from last episode.

If you visited the apartment with Thomas:

• [Sweet] (I acted as if nothing happened and went back to work.) -5
• [Rebel] (I flashed an exaggerated wink at him…) +5
• [Energetic] (I smiled at him, knowingly.) /

If you visited the apartment with Amanda:

• [Sweet] (I acted as if nothing happened and went back to work.) /
• [Rebel] (I flashed an exaggerated wink at her…) -5
• [Energetic] (I smiled at her, knowingly.) +5

If you visited the apartment with Devon:

• [Sweet] (I acted as if nothing happened and went back to work.) -5
• [Rebel] (I flashed an exaggerated wink at him…) /
• [Energetic] (I smiled at him, knowingly.) +5

If you visited the apartment with Roy:

• [Sweet] (I acted as if nothing happened and went back to work.) -5
• [Rebel] (I flashed an exaggerated wink at him…) +5
• [Energetic] (I smiled at him, knowingly.) /

After some more monologuing by Candy to update on how things are currently going, her thoughts are interrupted.

Roy: And does it bother you, [Name]?

• [Rebel] If it bothered me, I would have quit a long time ago…! +5 with Thomas and Devon, -5 with Roy
• [Sweet] No. I’ve gotten used to it. +5 with Amanda and Elenda
• [Energetic] I think it’s kind of funny, it adds some excitement! +5 with Roy and Brune, -5 with Thomas, Amanda, and Devon

Thomas: I know a lot of things about a lot of people, that’s all.

• [Energetic] Really?! Can you do a little quick fire for us? +5 with Thomas, Elenda, and Devon, -5 with Roy, Amanda, and Brune
• [Rebel] Things you could keep to yourself, possibly… +5 with Roy and Amanda, -5 with Devon
• [Sweet] And it’s almost scary sometimes… -5 with Thomas, +5 with Brune, +10 with Elenda

• Oh, I’d have thought that you’d have already attended the show “privately”. /
• It’s not too late! I could be your first customer! /
• But I feel like the goal wasn’t to make a spectacle of it, right…? /

Amanda: Yes, even, at worst, a little less than the day, that would suit me just fine…

• [Energetic] You have to take the time to do things right! -5 with Amanda and Thomas
• [Sweet] Come on, be brave, it’ll be over soon… +5 with Devon and Roy
• [Rebel] Yeah, I think about an hour on the subject could be enough. +5 with Amanda and Thomas, -5 with Devon and Roy

After a bit more dialogue, the conversation will finally come to an end.

• (Which allowed me to realize that I was capable of finding a lot of jokes on the subject.)
• (As for me, I remained rather reserved.) +5 with Amanda
• (I indulged in a few jokes myself.)

• I really like it when the stars align, like this… +5 with Devon
• You’re not seriously thinking about…? +5 with Brune and Elenda
• It would really be a shame not to jump at the chance…! +5 with Thomas

Devon: Alright. [Name], is this okay with you?

Totally! This is even better than the carnival! / ⬅ TOWARDS THOMAS’ AND DEVON’S ILLUSTRATION
(I nodded, smiling, so they wouldn’t suspect… that I’m going to warn Roy!) / ⬅ TOWARDS ROY’S ILLUSTRATION
No… Honestly, it makes me uncomfortable. / ⬅ TOWARDS AMANDA’S ILLUSTRATION

If you’re trying for Jason, you can get his illustration regardless of which option you pick above so just pick whichever you like best.

If you are going along with everyone, you get this choice:

• [Energetic] Well… We’ll have to make do without her, then! +5 with Thomas
• [Rebel] It must be terrible, to be such a killjoy all the time. -5 with Thomas and Devon
• [Sweet] Shoot… Do you think we upset her? +5 with Devon and Elenda, -5 with Brune

You will then head out of the office to make your way to the pool.

If you decided to warn Roy:

You will head to the bathroom before leaving to call him and let him know.

• [Energetic] And I thought that maybe afterwards… /
• [Sweet] I hesitated, but I told myself it was fair game… +5
• [Rebel] Do you have a plan to catch trick them back? -5

You’ll then meet up with them outside.

If you agreed with Amanda:

You explain you won’t be going either and as you all leave the office; you stick with Amanda while the rest head off.

Amanda: Thank you for taking my side, [Name].

• [Sweet] It’s normal, I saw that it made you uncomfortable… -5
• [Energetic] No, thank you! If you hadn’t been there, I wouldn’t have dared… +5
• [Rebel] I admit that I mainly did it for myself. /

After some discussion, you convince her to go with you so you both can warn Roy about the others’ plan and surprise them instead.


Before heading to the Pool (over by Sweet Amoris), make your way to the Cafe to find Uncle Archibald!

Archibald: You seem to be in a hurry…

• I’ll never cease to be amazed by how perceptive you are! /
• Sorry… I’m going to the pool, and it’s going to close soon. / ⬅ TAKI’S OUTFIT
• No, I always have time for you! /

Once done, or if you don’t care, make your way over to Sweet Amoris (either from the Cafe or the bus stop from the University Campus) and you’ll get some dialogue.

Brune: We’ll just lower our heads and hurry into the locker rooms.

• Otherwise, I have fake mustaches, if you want. +5 with Thomas
• I’ll take a hat if the others don’t want them! -5 with Thomas
• I think the hats will look good on you… /

If Amanda is with you:

Thomas: I don’t think I’ve ever been here.

• Okay, the four of us can get the tickets, then! /
• Perfect. Amanda, do you want to get the tickets together? +5 with Amanda, -5 with Devon and Thomas ⬅ TOWARDS AMANDA’S ILLUSTRATION
• Okay! Devon, should we both go get the tickets? +5 with Devon, -5 with Amanda and Thomas ⬅ TOWARDS DEVON’S ILLUSTRATION
• Great! Thomas and I can get the tickets. +5 with Thomas, -5 with Amanda and Devon ⬅ TOWARDS THOMAS’ ILLUSTRATION

If Amanda is NOT with you:

Thomas: I don’t think I’ve ever been here.

• Okay, the three of us can get the tickets, then! /
• Okay! Devon, should we both go get the tickets? +5 with Devon, -5 with Thomas ⬅ TOWARDS DEVON’S ILLUSTRATION
• Great! Thomas and I can get the tickets. +5 with Thomas, -5 with Devon ⬅ TOWARDS THOMAS’ ILLUSTRATION

If Amanda is not there, you pick to get tickets with Devon, and Thomas is your highest LoM:

Thomas: The three of us can go, since they don’t know me.

• That’s true… Okay, let’s go together. /
• That’s nice of you, but that won’t be necessary. /
• I… I’m not sure we need to be three… /

You’ll then get your outfit choice: Yellow top with beige pants: Amanda, Thomas / Blue Jumpsuit with Jacket: Jason, Devon, Roy

After getting the passes, you’ll make your way back to the others.

• If we have to wait, I’m going to do like Elenda. /
• I’ll just scroll through stuff on my phone. /
• (I don’t really know what to do…) /

While all neutral, the options will give you a bit of bonding time with Elenda if you pick the changing option, Brune if you pick the phone, and either some alone time or a small moment with Amanda if she’s there if you pick that you don’t know what to do.

You’ll then get a 15-minute timer before hiding as the place closes up. After the Janitor leaves, you meet back up with the Boys to go surprise Roy (or to start surprising everyone else).

If you did not tell Roy about the plan (whether with or without Amanda):

You’ll end up surprising him at the pool, but Roy actually has a swimsuit on as he figured this might happen.

Brune: And all in all, this is perhaps the best possible conclusion…

• Clearly, it’s for the best.
• I wouldn’t go that far, I’m a little disappointed.
• (I shrugged. I’m not sure.)

If you told Roy about the plan (whether with or without Amanda:)

Roy won’t be in the pool. Everyone else will get tricked as he locks the doors, turns the lights off, and shoots everyone with waterguns.

• (Almost by reflex, I winked at him.) +5 with Roy
• I’m up for all of us swimming naked! -5 with Roy
• Personally, I’d like to avoid that… /

If you’re not with Amanda:

• (I froze, a little embarrassed.)
• (I joined the applause, turning towards Roy.)
• (I gave a little bow.)

If you’re with Amanda:

• (I froze, a little embarrassed.)
• (I joined the applause, turning towards Amanda.)
• (I gave a little bow.)

If Thomas, Roy, or Devon is your highest LoM:

• (I jumped to the side to get out of his line of fire.)
• Wait! Come on, we’ll make an alliance! /
• (I shot him without warning.)

If Amanda is your highest LoM:

• (I jumped to the side to get out of her line of fire.)
• Wait! Come on, we’ll make an alliance! /
• (I shot her without warning.)

After more discussion, you’ll get ready to head home but need to stop back in the locker room as you left your phone there… or actually because Candy really wants to swim, I guess so you’ll be greeted by a 5-minute timer.

• (I took a deep breath, and left the locker rooms.) ⬅ TOWARDS THOMAS’, AMANDA’S, ROY’S, AND DEVON’S ILLUSTRATIONS
(I took a deep breath, and left the locker rooms.) ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION

If there is just one option and not two, the choice depends on the initial choice of what you decided to do (IE: If you went along with everyone, told Roy, or agreed with Amanda) and if they are your highest LoM so if you picked the Roy choice but he is not your highest LoM, you will not get him regardless– it will go on the path for Jason as it wasn’t the right choice for whoever is your highest then.

If done correctly, as you leave the locker room after your timer is up, you will be interested by your highest LoM. If you’re going for Jason, either nobody will interrupt you (depending on if you made choices different from your highest and what option you picked if the choice above was doubled) or you can choose that you’d like some time alone to swim at the pool which will also go towards Jason’s Illustration.

Thomas’ Illustration Route

• [Rebel] You’re imagining things. I really forgot my phone.
• [Sweet] And you don’t have a hypothesis this time? +5
• [Energetic] I’m not going to lie to you… /

Thomas: Maybe you want me to leave you to your swim.

• Actually, since we’re both here… ⬅ TOWARDS THOMAS’ ILLUSTRATION
I’ll admit that I’d like that… ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION

If you continue with Thomas’ route, you’ll head to the beach.

• [Energetic] Um… is this something you do often? You seem to have your habits… +5
• [Sweet] Yes, that seems good to me… Even if it’s a little intimidating.
• [Rebel] One could almost believe that I’m not the first person you’ve brought here… -5

After more dialogue, the episode will end.


Amanda’s Illustration Route:

Amanda: I knew it! So, maybe you want me to leave you alone?

• Unless you want to try too…? ⬅ TOWARDS AMANDA’S ILLUSTRATION
Well, yeah, please… If you don’t mind… ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION

She’ll invite you to a Spa.

Amanda: And I understand them. They’re also part of the reason I came back.

• [Rebel] Do you want to try to steal them? /
• [Energetic] You’ll have to ask Thomas to investigate. -5
• [Sweet] I understand! I think I could fall asleep in this! +5

You will then get another 5-minute timer.

Amanda: I’m totally out.

• [Sweet] Me too, it’s incredible. +5
• [Energetic] I can take you to my place, if you want.
• [Rebel] I think I’ll sleep a week, after this.

After more dialogue, the episode will end.


Roy’s Illustration Route:

Roy: So, was I wrong?

• [Rebel] Completely! I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. -5
• [Energetic] You caught me: it has something to do with it. +5
• [Sweet] I’ll admit that it made me a little… curious. /

Roy: I’ll leave you alone, then.

• Actually, I was kind of hoping for the two of us to share the moment. ⬅ TOWARDS ROY’S ILLUSTRATION
I… If you don’t mind… ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION

• [Energetic] It’s even more… Well, I’m… This is really a special moment, then! -5
• [Sweet] But… Are you sure that doesn’t bother you? +5
• [Rebel] Stop it…! I don’t believe you! /

Roy: But now, for us, there isn’t any obligation.

• [Energetic] No… But that’s why I came… +5
• [Sweet] Of course… But if we… wanted to do it…? /
• [Rebel] For you, it sort of is… -5

After more dialogue, the episode will end.


Devon’s Illustration Route:

• [Energetic] Yeah. But it looks like I’m not the only one. +5
• [Rebel] You “came to get me”, is that it…? -5
• [Sweet] What… what do you mean…? /

• We could… Maybe…? Try together? ⬅ TOWARDS DEVON’S ILLUSTRATION
Oh well, I can leave you then… ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION

• [Sweet] Yes… Yes, you’re right. I think it’s better +5
• [Energetic] What, are you bored with me? /
• [Rebel] Oh… come on, we aren’t in a hurry? Are we? -5

After more dialogue, the episode will end.


Jason’s Illustration Route:

You’ll get in the pool and swim for a bit.

• (That said, I’m going to get out, anyway.) /
• (I can enjoy this a little longer, a few more minutes…) / ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION
• (But if someone is there, it’s best not to hang around.) /

Jason: I suppose the situation is very uncomfortable for you, in this circumstance…

• [Rebel] You’re definitely very observant this evening! /
• [Sweet] That’s to say the least. I’m mortified. +5
• [Energetic] Not at all! -5

Jason: I promise I won’t open my eyes until you tell me.

• [Sweet] All right, I trust you. +5
• [Rebel] And we both know you’re trustworthy…! /
• [Energetic] If you lie, I promise you’ll pay. -5

You’ll unlock it if you have the right outfit and enough affinity.

You will then leave and have some more dialogue outside before the episode ends.


After the episode ends, regardless of if you did Amanda’s route or not, you can find the room items for the Spa in your closet. You’ll also have unlocked a new minigame on your desk through your phone.
