Drastic change of plot

**Tears fall like rain:**

You walk blindly through the campus streets, heart shattered into pieces.

The unknown text message still glares on your screen:

"You got what you deserved. – Someone who knows your secrets"

Suddenly, a figure steps out of the shadows – Sophia.

"I didn't send that text, but I know who might have," she says softly, concern etched on her face.

"You were right to suspect me earlier, but this... this is bigger. Ryan thinks it might be Ethan's ex-girlfriend, Victoria."

Your eyes widen – Victoria, the girl Ethan never talks about.

Sophia continues, "Victoria swore revenge against anyone Ethan cares about after their messy breakup..."

Your mind races – Ethan's growing feelings for Alex put her in danger.

Just then, your phone buzzes again – a text from Alex:

"Ethan's walking me home. Meet us at my dorm – we need to talk..."

Do I make you rush to Alex's dorm immediately or reveal more about Victoria first?

*continuing with the more suspenseful route*

Victoria's backstory unfolds in my mind...

Victoria was obsessed with Ethan – stalking him even after breakup.

You rush to Alex's dorm anyway, heart racing...

**Racing to Alex's dorm:**

You sprint across campus, fear gripping your heart.

Victoria's obsessive behavior echoes in your mind – what if she harms Alex to get to Ethan?

You burst into Alex's dorm building, taking stairs two at a time.

Alex's door is slightly ajar. You push it open slowly...

The room's dimly lit, only a desk lamp glowing. Alex sits on her bed, looking pale. Ethan stands beside her, eyes fixed on you – mixed with concern and something else... guilt?

Suddenly, a voice whispers from behind the closet door:

"Ethan's finally moved on... time to make him pay."

Your blood runs cold – Victoria.

Alex screams as the closet door slams open. Victoria emerges, eyes blazing with fury...

Ethan steps forward, hands raised calmly: "Victoria, stop. This has nothing to do with them."

Victoria sneers: "Everything revolves around you, Ethan... including her" – she glares at Alex.

You position yourself between Victoria and Alex, heart racing...

Do I make Victoria lunge at you next or have Ethan try to reason with her first?

*continuing with the more intense route*

Victoria's eyes flash with madness – she pulls out a small object from her pocket... a knife.

**Knife glints in dim light:**

Victoria's hand trembles, knife blade pointing towards you.

Alex screams again, frozen in terror behind you. Ethan leaps forward, but Victoria warns:

"One step closer, Ethan, and your precious friends die!"

You stand firm, trying to reason with Victoria:

"Put the knife down. This obsession with Ethan is destroying you."

Victoria's eyes well up with tears, voice cracking:

"He destroyed ME. He moved on... with HER" – she glares at Alex, then you –

"You're just another girl he'll discard for someone prettier!"

Ethan takes a gentle step forward, hands still raised:

"Victoria, that's not true. My feelings for you died because of your obsession..."

Victoria's face contorts in rage; she lunges at you with the knife!

You raise your arms defensively – but Ethan tackles Victoria from behind just in time.

The knife clatters to the floor as campus security bursts in, responding to Alex's panicked call.

Victoria's dragged away screaming Ethan's name...

As chaos subsides, Ethan turns to you and Alex:

"You both almost died because of me... can you ever forgive me?"

Alex looks at you, then Ethan – her expression softens.

Your heart skips a beat as you realize:

Alex might choose Ethan over her anger...

Do I make Alex say yes to forgiving Ethan or have you interrupt their moment?
