Dana route order
- 01
Complete the home introduction
Talk with Dana after the opening school and alley sequence, then use the phone prompts.
- 02
Start the diary investigation
Use the evening/late-night task flow and raise lockpicking when the route requires it.
- 03
Open the diary
When the diary prompt becomes available, enter 717.
- 04
Build the home skill loop
Learn the requested computer skill, buy the repair materials and complete the yard task.
- 05
Use Arete items at the right time
The café items support relationship progression; check the active task before spending.
- 06
Advance the linked Chloe state
When Chloe appears at home, switch between both routes instead of repeating only Dana interactions.
- 07
Raise skill caps deliberately
If a later option does not appear, fill the current skill/relationship bar and buy the prompted item before trying the next day.
Arete items appear in several home-route steps. Buy the item named by the active task rather than stockpiling every product.
