When Ashley confesses her feelings to 'Anna', The Player is presented with a critical decision. The table below outlines the available choices and their direct consequences:
Scenario | Player's Choice | Outcome |
---|---|---|
Ashley confesses her feelings to 'Anna' | Accept and return Ashley's love | Achieves the best ending possible |
Relinquish the ruse | Leads to a less favorable ending | |
Tell her she's just being silly | Leads to the same less favorable ending as relinquishing the ruse |
Achieving the Best Ending
