It only appears when you talk to Mrs after exactly two completed activities, and only if you already read a Paper. A third activity can skip that window.
It is checked only when you talk to Mrs while you have finished exactly two activities. you must already have read a Paper. If you finish another activity first, you can bypass that exact checkpoint.
No. Any containment Paper works, as long as you read one before the two-activity checkpoint.
Yes. The Keyword route needs a Paper to have been read, not a specific sheet.
Completing another activity before talking to Mrs can bypass the exact checkpoint.
Both use the same keyword branch. Interest 0–3 gives Ending 2; Interest 4+ gives Ending 3.
Keep Interest at 3 or lower when you use the Keyword.
Reach at least 4 Interest before you use the Keyword.
The night continues. You will not get Ending 2 or Ending 3 on that run.
No. Ending 7 explicitly requires you never read a Paper.
