How to Get Ending 5 — Better than new.

Requirements

• Reach the normal final evaluation.
• Finish at exactly 0 Interest.

Step-by-step

1. Use a zero-gain opening: lock the door, then ask again and open it.
2. Read the first paper before talking to Mrs so you do not get the +1 paper-ignore compliment.
3. Choose 'My friend?' in the sender question.
4. Use neutral activities: Bedroom 'A Rat!', TV 'Love Like Who?', Conversation 'About myself', and Pizza in the kitchen.
5. Choose 'No' for the knife. If the keyword prompt appears, choose 'No' or skip that checkpoint by continuing activities before talking to Mrs.
6. Pizza is -1 followed by +1 from the toast, so its net effect is 0. Finish at 0 Interest for Ending 5.

If you get a different ending

• Any positive choice can push you into Ending 4 instead.
• Using the keyword ends the run early with Ending 2/3 and bypasses Ending 5.
