At the darkened front steps of SVC, the moon shines overhead, and the steps are darkened and empty, save for a sole figure: Amber, wearing her detective's hat, standing, leaning against the far left pillar, lit by little more than a joint being lit in her hand. A good mystery is a lot like a beautiful dame, and it looks like we’re about to meet both.
It may have been a premonitory dream of sorts, but Amber is putting on her detective hat again – Chris has asked her to investigate something about the frats? We’ll find out more in due course, because right now is just too late in the night for this stuff.
Some choices during the text conversation accrue reputation points, you may want to be on the lookout for those. If you tell her you’re not feeling this detective stuff right now she’ll make some snarky comments later, but no biggy.
Alright, time to actually meet Amber. She’s in very deep in this romance noir style, and her intuition is that the “client” aka “The Big Wolf” aka Chris is worried about the administration looking into the frats business. But Chris might know something more than he is conveying, so it might be worth having a chat with him later.
Detective path: Meanwhile you can choose to change your detective type, between Professional, Psychologist and Loose Cannon. The Psychologist choice can be the best to help reveal some background information on people. But any option will allow you to ultimately solve the case, they’ll just provide different dialogue options during the interrogations.
Ms. Rose path: However, picking the Loose Cannon is required to unlock a sex scene with Ms. Rose later on (but will prevent earning a clue from Mr. Lee).

Amber path: Amber will get a bit physical with you to convince you to join these detective shenanigans. This happens in conversation path 4.b.ii above when you initially get reluctant.
A new day begins, and we find Nora in the hallways with a new character. That’s Mr. Sean Matthews, from the Psychology department. He’s not teaching a course at the moment, but we might find him again if we take on a psych elective next semester. Although you don’t even really know what you’re majoring in at the moment.
Like Amber, Nora can’t help noticing that the mood has been weird lately, ever since the Europe trip at least, with the college being weird with the sororities, and also not creating a lot of social activities. So why not restore the old social committee? You might either think it’s a great idea straight up, or you might think it’s going to be boring but Mr. Matthews might even throw in some free course credit if you take part.
Nora path: If aren’t dating Nora at this point, but would like to, another path opens around this stage. Start by collecting the Nora points in the choices that are flattering to her.
We’ll deal with the social committee later in the day, now’s the time to head to the cafeteria and grab some of Aubrey’s pizza. She’s too excited to eat anyway. She’s got her first professional modelling gig! You can choose how supportive you want to be (or how suspicious of the motives of the photographer) but you’re not taking away her excitement.
