Keyword route possible — Ending 2 / 3 only if you use it
Reading a Paper does not force Ending 2 or 3. It only makes the Keyword route available. If you don’t use the Keyword, the run can continue toward later endings. Ending 7 stays blocked.
Reading the Paper is mainly a route decision, not an Interest penalty.
Read
Interest 0
Paper status → Read
Ignore and talk to Mrs
Interest +1
Paper status → Still unread
If an Ending 7 run is short one point, it is often because you lost the Ignore + talk to Mrs +1, not because the Paper subtracted Interest.

Ignoring it

SFR-044 Containment and Behavioral Document
Purpose: Introduces SFR-044, says communication will arrive by paper, and warns the player to follow instructions.

Third Containment Paper

Route effect: Reading counts as Paper read
Repeated recommendations: Honey Toast, horror movie. Mrs is becoming less predictable.
Final Instructions Paper
Purpose: Contains the Keyword as the final instruction.
Route effect: Reading counts as Paper read
Keyword
“Your parents are waiting.”
Knowing the phrase is not enough by itself. Use it only at the 2-activity Mrs checkpoint.
Sweets
A honey toast is a strong choice
Horror
The Hello-ween is the strong TV choice
Insects
Avoid A Cockroach!
Composure / Honesty
Some Conversation answers matter
Final Instructions Paper contains the Keyword as story information. The route condition is only that a Paper has been read — not that you must open Paper 4.
Keyword
“Your parents are waiting.”
Knowing the phrase is not enough by itself. Use it only at the 2-activity Mrs checkpoint.
The Keyword isn’t a normal dialogue option that stays available forever.
This is not only the first Paper. All 4 Papers set the same read status. Ending 7 needs the whole run unread.
Read Paper → exactly 2 activities → Mrs → Keyword
That is the whole Paper job on this page. The Keyword Route page runs the checkpoint.

Want Ending 7? Don’t read any Paper. Want Ending 2 or Ending 3? Read a Paper before the 2-activity checkpoint.
Reading the Paper is mainly a route decision, not an Interest penalty. The first Paper Read is Interest +0 and marks the run as read. Ignore and talk to Mrs is Interest +1 and keeps the Paper unread.
No. Ending 7 explicitly requires you never read a Paper.
No. Ending 7 requires the whole run to stay unread. All 4 Papers count as a Paper read, not only the first one.
No. Paper 4 tells you the Keyword as story information. The route only needs a Paper to have been read. Any Paper works.
“Your parents are waiting.” Knowing the phrase is not enough by itself.
A Paper has been read, exactly 2 activities are complete, and you talk to Mrs at that moment.
Reading a Paper does not force Ending 2 or Ending 3. It only makes the Keyword route available. If you don’t use the Keyword, the run can continue toward later endings. Ending 7 remains blocked.
There are 4 containment Papers.
Paper 1: Introduces SFR-044, says communication will arrive by paper, and warns the player to follow instructions. Paper 2: Documents preferences: sweets, horror media, honesty/composure, and a strong aversion to insects. Paper 3: Warns that behavior becomes more erratic and repeats the honey-toast and horror-movie recommendations. Paper 4: Contains the Keyword as the final instruction.
Third Containment Paper repeats the Honey Toast and horror-movie recommendations. Paper 2 first documents the sweet preference.
Final Instructions Paper contains the Keyword. The route condition is still “a Paper has been read,” not “you must open Paper 4.”
