Starts in the maze when they take their new ability to fight to the extreme

The first fight they have and how it's ended determines the route the story takes

“I'll show him who's weak.”

Fighting continues from there until Kokoro beats up all the people in the maze, causing them to run away crying

The fight starts normally with the Arachnocultist, they still beat Kokoro if they didn't fight everyone in the maze. If they do, they're able to take hits from the Arachnocultist and beat him instead.

“Damn kid, you're stronger than you look. Who knew all it took was making you a bit mad?”

Kokoro just stares at him, angry expression

They clear their throat “ahem You know, if you joined our team, you could become a lot stronger. What do you say?”

There are 3 options: I'll think about it, No, and waiting 10 real minutes for a scene where Torben runs in and punches the Arachnocultist into the maze wall behind them, creating a hole

Saying “I'll think about it” results in meeting up with the Arachnocultist that night. No results in variations of please 5 times before “We didn't want a stubborn brat in our ranks anyway!” and the story continues as normal, sort of. Either way, he flees and Torben appears after commenting on it and asking if Kokoro is alright. Grey expresses concern with Kokoro being too hostile with the visitors and driving away what could've been returning customers.
