Overview

No one can do it for you.

You spot Isabelle, who has refused to talk to, or even look at, you since she caught you with Kate during Dethroning the Queen. The guilt is eating at you, so you approach her to apologize, but she's not having it. She's heartbroken and furious over what you did, and it's clear that words alone aren't going to fix this. Turning to the only parental figure in your life, Jo suggests making a grand gesture to win Isabelle back: a heartfelt letter, chocolate, and flowers.

Head to the English Classroom to write the letter, selecting at least 3 out of 5 words that you feel best appeals to Isabelle. After grabbing a bouquet of Wildflowers from the Forest Glade and having a brief chat with the uncharacteristically confused Maxine, buy some chocolate online at your computer (the pricier, the better). Once it arrives the next day, you're ready to approach Isabelle again with your gifts.

While she doesn't hate the gesture, she confesses that she's still unsure if she can trust you again. Depending on your choice and Love levels, she'll either get even with you by kissing Kate in your presence, forgive you and drop the grudge, or become your girlfriend, complete with you two heading to your house to make love in the kitchen.

Story Changing Choices

• You will have the opportunity to make things right with Isabelle.
  • If she has at least 10 Love points, you can tell her that she's the only girl you want.
    • If she has at least 20 Love points and you aren't dating anyone else, you can ask her to be your girlfriend, which she will accept.
    • If you say you're going to spend as long as it takes to win her trust back, she'll forgive you.
  • If you call her out for acting like you cheated on her despite not being a couple, she'll get even with you by making you watch her kiss Kate.

Missable Interactions

• When you approach Isabelle at the beginning of the quest:

  • If you tell her you're trying to see it from her perspective, she'll lose 3 Love points after you say it's "not a good feeling".

• When you try to explain the situation to Jo:
  • If you tell her that the situation is complicated, she'll gain 1 Love point as she reassures you that you can tell her anything.
  • If you tell her Isabelle caught you with another girl, Jo will lose 1 Love point as she expresses disappointment for your behavior.
  • If you admit you were scared of your feelings, you and Isabelle will each gain 1 Love point as Jo assures you that opening your heart is a wonderful experience.

• If you ask Maxine if she's experiencing "a deja vu kind of thing", she'll appreciate the understanding and gain 1 Love point.
• Isabelle says that Hearshey Shesay is a chocolate that her dad once bought her when he told her they were moving again.
  • She'll be offended if you give her Dick Wonky's Chocolate Bar and lose 1 Love point.

• If Isabelle has at least 10 Love points, you'll be heartbroken at the sight of her kissing Kate, fully understanding how she feels.
  • If not, you have the choice to masturbate to the show. If you do, Kate will catch you as she runs out of the classroom.
