Synopsis

The player treats Logan as he vents his feelings out loud in front of the owl, upset by his inability to confess his romantic feelings to Hailey. He feels that Hailey has waited so long to hear him confess, that now he has to "do something special," and he doesn't know what to do. Halfway through the level, Hailey enters the room, asking Logan if he's okay. This elicits a panicked response from him as he pretends that nothing is wrong. Then, he tries to ask Hailey for reassurance on something he has been worrying about, only to find that Hailey has already left. He laments how he has missed his chance to confess once again and tries to find comfort in that the owl is still in the room with him, before finding out that the owl has also left.
