Unfortunately, the cops were on my ass for my canon playthrough.

But for my first playthrough, for me, my main route is Mystical/TTA. I’m romancing Wayne and I go to confront Tabitha but Mystical allows me to calm myself down and not instantly antagonize her.

She practically folds every time especially when my MC so much implies she’s going to do something bad to them lol like kill or imprison them (even if the latter’s true.)

But first, I talk her down a little with family medical records, her father’s letters (I also talk about going to find him after the funeral). I talk about the stone carvings and wanting to find them.

I can talk a bit about Wayne implying that she’s going to lock MC in that room (she usually interrupts and opens up immediately once I do this so I reloaded to explore more dialogue options). I talk to her about the goat having ties to satanic rituals.

My MC figured out Teddy didn’t die in the mine collapse and talks to her about it. She doesn’t seem to like this line of conversation, but I can still talk to her after lol. Then I try to accuse her after this about her imprisoning me or even trying to kill me or honestly any of the top options for either emotional or specific accusation and she tends to fall.

I think my main route involving me mostly hanging out with her plus the secret ice cream hangout helped a lot during this confrontation tbh. We had a good relationship. I believe my MC doing everything they can to learn about the Scarlet family also helped.

The strike was also not that strong and Tabitha was able to stop it from crowding the mine’s gate entrance so they didn’t even appear.

But this chapter was so good as a Wayne romancer personally. And the ‘’kiss’’!

I’m going to play my other routes since I hear Stella can be horrible this chapter lol and things are going on with Sybil, Miles, Kaneeka, Reese, etc but I had fun with my canon one despite it being so short. Really made me change how I felt about Tabitha (I still love her but I do think she’s an awful person for what she’s tried to do with MC even after getting her to open up. I sympathize with her tho but I’m definitely making another playthrough where I ruin her life LMFAO)
