Please!” “Autumn told you a secret?” “Don’t tell her I told you…” “I won’t tell.” “Hey, let’s meet up before we go to the cabin!” “Yeah, let’s walk together.” “OK - bye, babe!

How to reconnect with the girls in 2022
Depending on who you grew closer with in 1995, you’ll stand a higher chance of reconnecting with them when you’re reunited in 2022. As it stands, Bloom & Rage Tape 1 has limited chances for open dialogue in 2022, but there are certain key things you can do to increase your final standings with both Nora and Autumn.
Just as you did in 1995, make sure to pay attention to their mood in 2022. Support their choices and bend accordingly. For instance, Nora is hesitant to discuss the package, so encourage Autumn to put it off a while longer. If you’d rather get closer to Autumn, go against Nora’s hesitance and pressure the conversation to move on.
You can also use information gathered in 1995 to help in 2022. When it comes to getting a drink for Autumn, you have the option to get her a rum and coke, remembering that she said she liked them back in 1995.
There will be more moments, both in 1995 and 2022, to build your relationships with all the girls once Tape 2 is released on April 15, but getting ahead with your chosen friend now is a good way to make sure the game moves on how you’d like it to.
