During the fifth chapter ofLost Records: Bloom & Rage, Swann finally arrives at Movie Palace to return her tape, but decides to stroll around instead of heading directly home as she was asked to. This seemingly innocent decision ends up changing her whole summer (and, as a consequence, her whole life too).
In this free-roam section, she finally meets Autumn, Nora, and Kat for the first time after being dragged into a huge misunderstanding. This marks the start of their lifelong friendship, and, just as you would expect, plenty of choices will affect both your relationship with the girls and the game as a whole.
Keeping In Touch With Mom
The Movie Palace story Memoir must be completed to proceed. you’re able to record various items, such as theMovie Palace logos, the movie posters, the Yooper Scooper’s logo, the car’s antenna, or the terror movie clown life-size cardboard. Capturing five of them completes the Memoir.
You can also capture someparts for optional Memoirsaround here, such as:
Before heading to the Yooper Scooper, approach the phone booth andcall Swann’s mom, and she’ll ask you to come home, to which you can answer:
I’m in outer space…
Neutral.
No matter what you choose,your mom still wants you to help, and asks you to bring a friend. You initially only get a sad answer, butwaiting a few seconds unlocks two more options:
Outcome
My cat’s my date!
Neutral. The cat’s name changes depending on which one you chose earlier.
That’s a dumb question.
After some small talk, it’s time to say bye to Mom. You have two regular answers, butstaying silent is also an option.
Bye, Mom.
Neutral
Saying nothing won’t affect your relationshipeither. Once you’re done here, it’s time for some ice scream.
The Mom call isfully optional. Since it has no branchings whatsoever, you can fully skip it if you don’t want to see those extra scenes between Swann and her mother.
Out For Ice Cream
The options you’ll get here changeaccording to how quickly you get to the Yooper Scooper. If you take too long, you’ll hear the girls speaking about closing the shop, and you won’t be able to get your slushy.It takes about five minutes for Autumn to close, and she’ll announce when she starts packing up.
Once you approach the shop, Nora asks you if you’re naturally red-headed. Answering her canget you some extra approval:
My hair really is red…
Nora approves.
If youstay put for a while, she says you’re the quiet type, to which you can also answer:
Sorry, I’m just filming…
If you come around while the girls are chatting,you’ll miss both of these interactions.
The tables around Nora are filled withGraffiti you can film for the Memoir,so take this chance. Once you’re ready, speak with Autumn:
Excuse me, are you still open?
If youtook too long to order, you’ll get the following answers:
What’s the hurry?
Autumn disapproves.
But if you get here on time, thedialogue is quite different:
I’ll come by another time.
Neutral, ends the section immediately.
If you choose to order something,you get to pick your flavor.Touching each of the symbols in the menu unlocks their respective option. They are in the left, the middle, and to the right of the screen, and are, respectively:
Cute & Grumpy.
Regardless of what happens,you’ll be sent back to 2022once you either decide to come back another day or get your favorite flavor.
Meeting Autumn, Again
Back to the present, you find out thatAutumn was actually using the restroom. You can react in the following ways:
(Hug her) It’s been ages!
Autumn approves.
Not picking anything won’t affect your relationship.But if you choose anything here, you get a follow-up:
Mind if I scoot by?
I’m still the same Swann!
Once again,not choosing anything won’t have any effect. Swann enters the bathroom, and you’re back to 1995 as soon as you open the door.
The Wrong Way Back
Swann is killing some time with or without her slushy. If you had one, you canapproach Nora and Autumn for extra interactions. Autumn asks you if it was good, to which you may answer:
The slushy is great! Thank you.
Approaching the backside of the shop will let you listen to thegirls bickering about popcorn prices. You can say:
I usually sneak candy in my bag…
Butif you try to walk behind the shop,Autumn asks you to leave.
Cripes! I’ll leave.
Staying quiet in both situations has no consequences. Walking around a third time triggers some funny dialogue, but no options pop up.
After a while, Swann notices she’s late, anddecides to take the fence (to the left of Movie Palace)shortcut back home. A balloon appears on her way, and you must film it to proceed. It also counts toward theMoving In Place Memoir.
However,Dylan thinks you were recording herand goes off on you, but you may try to defend yourself:
I wasn’t filming you…
No matter what you choose (even if you stay quiet),she tries to grab your camera.you may try, once again, to clarify things:
I was filming a balloon…
Your answer only changes how she insults you next.If you apologized once, your choice is slightly different,but with the same results:
(Leave) I’ll leave…
This choice will be remembered.
Choosing to film Dylan unlocks the Bullies Memoir.This is optional, so make sure to grab her on camera if you’re going for it. Regardless of what you choose, Corey comes in his motorcycle. If you filmed Dylan, she says you’re harassing her.
You started it!
If you didn’t,you get a slightly different optiononce he asks her who you are:
Leave me alone!
After a few more insults,you can try to defend yourselfonce again:
Just stop it…
But of course, it won’t work at all. Butyou can actually do somethingin the next choice:
Filming them gives youtwo more entries in the Bullies Memoir.
Staying quiet or talking about the balloon won’t help you.Corey now actually wants you to film him, which you can refuse if you want:
(Film him) Fine, but then I’m leaving.
Neutral. You start filming him and his bike.
No… I’ve gotta go home.
Neutral. Opens another dialogue choice.
Choosing to film him unlocks more entries for the Bullies Memoir. He gives you some poses to record, and the scene ends after he gives you a third pose. But if you refuse to film him, he won’t be so pleased, andforces you to think again:
No!
If you film him here,the scene goes exactly as in the choice before. Refusing again or staying silent makes Corey even more aggressive, and you can tell him off once more:
It’s not my fault…
Saying it or staying silent, it won’t matter.Corey snaps at youand demands you to apologize. You have a few choices, but you barely have time to pick them.Kat arrives to save you.This also happens if you film Corey. The girls decide to go to the movies and leave the couple behind:
You sure I can come?
I just wanna go home…
Nora disapproves.
Being quiet won’t change anything. Corey doesn’t want her sister to go, and Kat reacts by giving her the only logical answer:by flipping her sister off. Of course, you can react to it, orstay quiet and don’t change anything(again):
(Laugh.)
Kat approves.
She had it coming. But Corey’s still mad about it, sohe steals Autumn’s shop keys and throws them awaybefore leaving with Dylan. The chapter ends with the girls all being angry and confused, as Autumn is now in some big trouble if they don’t find the keys.
