Just going through my new replay, from scratch. I haven't dated Lena once. I've barely shown interest in her and I get this screen...

...also, when Lena bought her new guitar Ian somehow knew all about it, as if he was there with her when she bought it, except, he wasn't...

So... a few untested paths here. ;)

I'm glad his date with Lena is fresh on his mind, because I sure as hell don't remember it! :ROFLMAO: :LOL:

In chapter 9 if you don't get into a relationship with Lena, you'll have another chance in chapter 12. For it to work, Ian cannot be dating Cindy or Alison and Lena must choose that she wants to be in a relationship with Ian. Also, for you to not get the crisis event, Lena must not sleep with anyone at the club in chapter 11. If you messed up and got the crisis event anyways, don't panic. Simply choose the broken heart option for Ian, he will still be in love in Lena but will act super jealous (using this method Ian can still be dating Cindy and Alison and it would still work). Lena must then also choose that she wants to be with Ian. BTW i you don't know what the crisis event is, it's when Jeremy tells Ian that Lena was sleeping around at the club.

Here's a question: Does getting the songs or the book 'right' make much of a difference to anything?

For ages, I just went with the song lyrics that seemed to fit but I glanced at the walkthrough and there's apparently certain choices of words that work better together (I can't even parse the way it's laid out in the walkthrough) but does it make any difference in practice?

Getting the lyrics right for the songs increases the quality of the songs which may play a factor in Lena's performance in the upcoming music contest. As for Ian, It's the same thing with the books. It may influence if he wins the book contest (excluding external forces interfering with it like Minerva and Seymour).

Besides getting stat experience for the best version I think the better book will lead to winning the book fair (without Seymour). And better songs may lead to Lena becoming a popular musician. We can't know for sure because Eva hasn't handled them in a while.

I don't get the chance to not become a couple with Lena in Chap 9 as Ian. I only get the " I want a relationship with you" with the ring icon option everytime.

That's probably because you told Jeremy that "you may be falling for Lena" in chapter 7. If you choose the "no strings attached" option, the second option unlocks for you in chapter 9.

IIRC you might need to have Ian be in loving relationship with Alison, so the option to be a couple with Lena is disabled. (do make sure to pick heart options for Ian/Lena and Lena/Ian where available, though) Then around Ch.11-12 give Alison cold shoulder and ignore her texts for the "love" to end, and allow Ian to get in relationship with Lena in Ch.12.
