LINUS ROUTE NOTES:

Linus’s route has three main endings: The Dawn End (Best), The Astray End (Love Rival), and The Clown End (Bad). This guide will help you achieve all three endings.
The Astray End is a love rival/triangle path between Linus and Edward. To trigger this path you will need to have raised Edward’s Affection to at least 2 by the end of chapter 3. (This path does have an unlockable CG)
After completing the Dawn and Clown endings, you will be able to read two Linus specific side stories from the Scrapbook. These are short text based extras that expand on the story. (There are no unlockable CGs)

Note: The tea location choice does not effect individual route branching. You can choose any of the guys and still get unlock your target route. But, I do recommend playing through all the options at least once.

Choosing a location leads to specific character encounters:

- The library. [Lucas Encounter] [Trust Up]
- The drawing room. [Edward Encounter] [Trust Up]
- The parlor. [Alfred Encounter] [Trust Up]

Note: The below choice is an important one, it will determine which route you branch off to. You will know you’re on your target route based on who dances with you all the Debutante Ball.

This choice determines the individual route you get:
