Initially Louise tells you that you didn't pass the interview, but later Raphael calls you rushed to tell you that he wants to stay with you for the night at on the banks of the Seine River, without giving further explanations.

As a good soap opera, his thing is that last forever Every time there is a new chapter, we are notified within the game menu and it is already available,without having to download anything.
Energy
Every time the protagonist makes a decision, apart from affecting the course of her story, she consumes 20 points of energy That energy is limited, and when it is spent, you can no longer make decisions, so the game stops At that moment the game gives us the option to buy energy packs, ranging from 2 to 20 euros.
If we don't want to pay to continue the game, we can wait for the character to recover energy naturally (usually 4 hours waiting approximately) or get energy bonuses by inviting other friends to play the game. In practice, it's difficult to get hooked on the game without buying from time to time, as the energy breaks are quite long.Fortunately, the payments are affordable
