And yet while following these steps, I still failed first time; couldn’t bear to go through Chapter 5 reading such rejection from both characters due to misinformation regarding me being a virgin and I just couldn’t figure out why. So I redid Chapter 2 and still made guesses and surprisingly got it right.
Yet, it saddens me how few a percentage players have with getting such an ending.
So I copied the message scripts with me and the two girls for all five chapters so that what little people who still play this game might give a better idea on what to do.

emerz35: jeff wants us to hang out with his friends this weekend, but i reaaally don’t want to.

emerz35: haha, yeah. do you drink benjamin?
mrbenio: oh definitely not

emerz35: yeah, i just don’t want to go over tonight.
emerz35: sometimes it’s just hard being there.
mrbenio: why is it hard?
emerz35: i just feel like i’m expected to act a certain way when i’m there, and i hate that?
emerz35: the problems solved though because i can just fake being away and talk to you!

emerz35: and you know me!
emerz35: hey! lets listen to some sigur ros togetherr.
mrbenio: another alternative band?
emerz35: you bet! i really love this album.
emerz35: youtoob.com/watch?v=ojLgN7wqc5A
mrbenio: this is not for me
emerz35: oh okay, i guess they are kinda weird.
mrbenio: it’s just too slow for me, i think
emerz35: oh okay, sure.
emerz35: so have you started applying to colleges?
mrbenio: i’ve worked on some, but haven’t sent any yet
emerz35: yeah samee here!
emerz35: where were you looking to go ideally?
mrbenio: anywhere that’ll take me lol, you?
emerz35: i don’t know, i’d really love to go to school in the city.
emerz35: and i’ve always thought it would be really cool to live in new york.
mrbenio: oh jeez, i bet that’ll be expensive
emerz35: depends on where you live!
emerz35: i think i really just want to get out of here and go some place totally new you know?
mrbenio: oh, that’s cool, do you want to stay in new york after college?
emerz35: yeah, i think that could be really grand?
emerz35: but idk, planning that far out can be a little silly.
mrbenio: yeah, so much could change
emerz35: and i really don’t see myself settling down anytime soon.
emerz35: like right now i honestly don’t even see myself having kids haha.
mrbenio: why do you say that?
emerz35: i just don’t see myself wanting a family.
emerz35: i just want to be able to take life as it comes, i think.
mrbenio: you just want to be wild and free?
emerz35: haha, something like that.
emerz35: how about you after college, do you want to settle down like right after?
mrbenio: i don’t think so, taking life as it comes sounds pretty good to me
emerz35: cool beans! i’m so glad you think the same way i do.
emerz35: and if you move to new york too, maybe we’ll be roommates! =p
mrbenio: you can’t live in a tiny apartment then =p
emerz35: haha true! thanks for letting me talk about it.
emerz35: whenever i talk about new york with jeff he always gets so upset.
mrbenio: what? why does he get upset?
emerz35: i guess he doesn’t want me to go far away.
emerz35: but i think he knows i’d go without him.
mrbenio: you think you’d go without him?
emerz35: yeah i guess. he’s going through a really tough time.
emerz35: he just wants to be a more serious couple.
mrbenio: do you want to be more serious?
emerz35: this is pretty personal, so you can’t tell anyone okay?
mrbenio: of course not! i won’t tell anyone
emerz35: me and jeff haven’t had sex.
emerz35: i think he wanted to try tonight or something, his parents aren’t home.
mrbenio: don’t do it to make him happy
emerz35: oh, i would never. i’m just not ready for that with him.
emerz35: but it’s okay, it’s not like he’s ever tried anything.
emerz35: it’s just kind of annoying to keep turning him down.
mrbenio: just be careful, it’s okay to not want to
emerz35: yeah but sometimes i feel weird, like i should have done it by now?
mrbenio: hey you’re definitely not weird! it’s your life
emerz35: thanks benjamin =]
emerz35: if you don’t mind me asking, have you had sex?
mrbenio: no, i haven’t
emerz35: oh cool! then we’re in the same boat haha.
emerz35: that makes me feel a lot better =]
emerz35: thanks so much for talking with me about it.
mrbenio: of course! we can talk anytime emilyy
emerz35: thanks! you’re such a grand person.
emerz35: i’m sorry i stole so much of your night just talking about random stuff.
mrbenio: oh it’s really okay
emerz35: i guess i just really like talking to you about stuff haha.
emerz35: i feel like we’re different now, but in a good way =]
mrbenio: yeah, i don’t know what we are lol
emerz35: can i ask you a kind of personal question?
mrbenio: uh, sure i guess
emerz35: why aren’t you in a relationship!
mrbenio: i don’t know, i haven’t really had the chance
emerz35: you just seem like such a great catch =p
mrbenio: you’re such a good friend
emerz35: and you are too benjamin!
mrbenio: hey thanks emily =p
emerz35: awe man, i think i need to get off the computer now.

mrbenio: is that the fake id guy?
punk4eva: yeah, me and him dated for alot of my sophomore and junior year
punk4eva: it got pretty serious and i definitely think i loved him

punk4eva: like, im getting over him, its just weird lol
mrbenio: but isn’t he in college?

punk4eva: the feelings still hang around tho

punk4eva: like he was the first person i ever had sex with
mrbenio: how is moving on going?
punk4eva: i mean, i had like a fling this past summer
punk4eva: but nothing as serious as steve obviously
mrbenio: what kind of fling?
punk4eva: idk, not even like a relationship
punk4eva: we fooled around, but like, it was fun not serious, you know?
punk4eva: benjamin, if you dont mind me asking, have you ever had sex?
mrbenio: no, i haven’t
punk4eva: oh okay, well can you still understand what i mean?
mrbenio: yeah, i think so
punk4eva: not alot of people know, but me and steve had these plans for our future
punk4eva: so being together felt like a big deal
mrbenio: like going to the same college or what?
punk4eva: its gonna sound really stupid, dont judge me okay?
mrbenio: of course i’m not going to judge you
punk4eva: so yeah, i thought wed go to the same college together
punk4eva: and then maybe idk, get married, start a family, whatever
mrbenio: that’s not stupid, it’s never wrong to want something
punk4eva: it just feels silly now, thinking about it
punk4eva: but i think thats why its been hard to get over the breakup
mrbenio: yeah, i can definitely understand that
punk4eva: i think i still want that future, even without steve
punk4eva: but maybe thats silly
mrbenio: that’s not silly at all! and that future is still definitely in reach!
punk4eva: i just think people think its stupid when i talk about it
mrbenio: it’s your life, you can do whatever you want
punk4eva: thanks benjamin, youve really made me feel alot better 🙂
punk4eva: what are your plans after college, do you want a family?
mrbenio: no, i don’t think so, i kind of want to be free to do whatever for a while
punk4eva: oh cool, yeah i feel like alot of people feel that way
punk4eva: hey! i just remembered, its still my turn to ask you a question!
mrbenio: what! we’re still playing?

mrbenio: the root of it? how so?
emerz35: were just so static
emerz35: i want us to change, i just don’t know what to do
mrbenio: you could talk to him?
emerz35: ive tried, i think it’s just kind of over
mrbenio: you don’t want to be with him?
emerz35: i dont think ive wanted to be with him for a long time
mrbenio: that’s a really tough situation
emerz35: its okay, i tried to bring it up last night
mrbenio: what happened last night?
emerz35: i’ll tell you, but this stuff needs to stay secret okay?
mrbenio: you can trust me emily
emerz35: i’m serious, i haven’t told anyone this.
mrbenio: i hear you, i won’t tell anyone
emerz35: so truth is, i’ve wanted to break up with jeff for a while.
emerz35: i tried to last night, but he just refused.
mrbenio: what do you mean?
emerz35: i’ll start from the begining.
emerz35: i think i realized we weren’t working in like november.
mrbenio: did something specific happen?
emerz35: not really, it was more of a bunch of little things.
mrbenio: why didn’t you tell him then?
emerz35: i don’t know, it’s going to sound stupid.
emerz35: but there was just never a good time.
mrbenio: there’s no such thing as a good time for that
emerz35: i know, it just felt like there was too much going on.
emerz35: plus, i don’t know, i thought my feelings might change.
mrbenio: did your feelings change?
emerz35: i mean, kind of. things got better and got worse.
emerz35: but i still wasn’t happy.
mrbenio: i’m really sorry =\
emerz35: so yesterday i asked him to hang out over instant messenger.
mrbenio: what did he say back?
emerz35: initially that he was busy later, but he eventually said yes.
emerz35: we agreed to meet at his house later.
mrbenio: that does seem like a good idea
emerz35: yeah thanks, i thought so.
emerz35: when i got there, we went to his room, and he just started crying.
mrbenio: were you crying too?
emerz35: it’s going to sound terrible, but no.
emerz35: and then i told him that i made up my mind, i wanted to break up.
mrbenio: and then what happened?
emerz35: he was quiet for a bit.
emerz35: then he shouted NO.
mrbenio: what the hell?
emerz35: i know, and then he was like, angry.
emerz35: he started yelling that he wouldn’t let me throw away our relationship and stuff.
mrbenio: how did you react?
emerz35: i didn’t know what to do.
emerz35: it made me really angry and i think i started yelling at him.
mrbenio: was jeff yelling back?
emerz35: oh yeah, it turned into an unproductive conversation real quick.
emerz35: i eventually just left.
mrbenio: that’s probably for the best
emerz35: yeah, it wasn’t going anywhere.
emerz35: so i wake up this morning to a text from him.
mrbenio: let me guess, jeff said he’s sorry?
emerz35: it said verbatim: “thank you for not breaking up with me last night. i couldnt see myself being able to live if we werent together.”
emerz35: and like, i don’t know if i should read into that or not?
mrbenio: has jeff said stuff like that before?
emerz35: yeah he has. which terrifies me.
mrbenio: has he ever done anything like that before?
emerz35: not that i know of, i don’t think so.
emerz35: like i don’t want to be with him, but i don’t want anything bad to happen to him.
mrbenio: i promise it’ll be okay, don’t worry
emerz35: i just feel so helpless and pathetic.
emerz35: and now i’m starting to cry.
mrbenio: you’re not pathetic at all, you’re so strong
emerz35: i’m so glad i can talk about all this with you.
mrbenio: and thank you for talking
emerz35: what do you think about all this?
mrbenio: i think it’s a really dangerous situation
emerz35: what should i do about him saying he couldn’t live without me?
mrbenio: i think you should talk to him about it
emerz35: what should i say to him?
mrbenio: tell him even if you break up, life will go on
emerz35: okay yeah, i can tell him that.
emerz35: and what should i do about us breaking up?
mrbenio: just distance yourself from him slowly over the next like month
emerz35: over the next month? and then what?
mrbenio: i guess talk about moving on, if you keep growing apart why stay together
emerz35: okay, that does sound like a good plan.
emerz35: thank you so much for helping me figure this out benjamin.
mrbenio: well i know you would do the same for me
emerz35: i’m actually feeling a lot better about the whole thing.
mrbenio: it’ll all blow over soon, i’m sure
emerz35: and idk, this might be awful to say.
emerz35: but i’m so excited to break up and move on.
mrbenio: yeah, you deserve way better than that!
emerz35: haha, thanks. you’re such a great person.
emerz35: i’m very lucky to have you in my life.
mrbenio: oh stopp, no you’re not
emerz35: you’re just such a genuine person.
emerz35: i don’t know, it’s hard to find someone like that.
mrbenio: i hope it’s not hard to find someone genuine!
emerz35: what do you like, think we are?
mrbenio: i think we’re just really close friends
emerz35: but do you think, we’re like, different than other friends?
mrbenio: we’re just great friends, in that way we’re different
emerz35: yeah, i think i’m closer to you than anyone.
mrbenio: well i’m honored =]

emerz35: i will admit, at first i was kind of worried.
mrbenio: what really? why were you worried?
emerz35: i don’t know, i guess i’m just used to people trying to manipulate me.
emerz35: like how jeff used to be with me.
mrbenio: you don’t have to worry about stuff like that.
emerz35: i know, it’s just nice to know you’re real.
emerz35: you didn’t fabricate a persona just to get close to me or something.
mrbenio: of course not, that’d be stupid.
emerz35: i know, i think sometimes people obsess over details like that.
emerz35: as if good friends need to have the same opinion about everything.
emerz35: but honesty is the most important thing, i think.
mrbenio: i think that too, don’t want a friendship built on lies.
emerz35: yeah, exactly
emerz35: sorry, i didn’t mean to derail the conversation haha.
