At the College.

I study in Creative Arts, Literature : Literature at college. With that program, I can work in a publishing house after university. Or I can go work in another place, out of my studies.

I don't want to study anymore, and even if I don't need much more to find a job as an editor, I want to find a job earlier. Plus, I don't know if I want to be an editor, everything seems so complicated. I don't know if I want to check on manuscripts every day and correct them.

I always wanted to see the world. So, I went to Cuba, I volunteered, and helped people. I get sucked up in a fight, but I helped the guy who was harassed, so I came in handy this time. I discovered many old books. Now, I am back from travelling, and I need to choose what to do.

Find a Job as an Editor!

I am a new editor in Whatever Publishing House! The wage seems good, and even if I don't have many drawbacks, the manager wants me to start working for them.

Choice 2 : Meet the Boss.

Editor

Talk to the Perpetrator Directly.

I talked to the perpetrator who was flirting with me. He was sorry, and then I never saw him again, after he tried to bribe me to excuse him. That was corruption. Now that he is gone, a new guy took the vacant position. I am in love with him.

Choice 1 : Ask Him Out!

Boss

Working in Restoration.

I work in the restoration because I didn't want to do more studies. This is a dead-end job, with many disadvantages. I'm at my first week, and my boss shows me the ins-and-outs, because I am his trainee. I am learning the ropes, and I am overwhelmed by all the sanitary rules. I always do overtime, and I feel powerless. I don't want to do that anymore.

Ask Him Out!

I asked my colleague if he wanted to go on a date with me. He said yes!

Choose Work Over Love.

My boss told me that my absence was inappropriate, and I can't do this again. I apologized. Now, the drive of work is insane. I won't go on a date anymore. I will set aside a lot of money instead.

Choice 2 : Start Self-Publishing.

House

Choice 1 : It is Over.

Choice 2 : Start Again!

Heart

Start Self-Publishing.

I just started a small business of self-publishing to make more money. It makes me another salary, and it helps me for my house. I have a bigger feeling of fulfillment because I share my stories. I can write textbook, but I need to proofread everything by myself.

Choice 1 : Continue.
