Hayasaka Route Guide

Okay, so I haven't seen a detailed guide for Hayasaka's route yet, and with the update that dropped on July 12, 2024, I figured I'd take a shot at penning one myself. Using the choices I'll be sharing here, I was able to get the following achievements exclusive to her route:

-Sake It to Me!
-Don’t judge a book by its cover
-Prolific, Passionate Prose

Also as a rule of thumb for reading my guide:
No asterisk = pretty sure this choice DOES NOT affect Hayasaka's route
1 asterisks = pretty sure this choice DOES affect Hayasaka's route
2 asterisks = new choice present as of the 7/12/2024 update, not entirely sure what it affects either way

In all honesty, there's probably more than one way to follow Hayasaka's route, and the game is short enough that it's not that hard go through a route from start to finish in a relatively short amount of time, especially if you use the CTRL key to skip dialogue you've read at least once before. And with all the possible save slots, it's heavily encouraged that you create save states at different choices just in case a choice you make has a consequence you weren't aiming for. That's why this guide is aimed more at people who have at least been through one of the other routes and/or unsuccessfully attempted Hayasaka's route at least once, so I don't recommend proceeding any further until you've given this route at least one genuine shot yourselves.

Last thing before we get to the guide proper: if I'm made aware of other changes made in future updates, I will do my best to update this guide to reflect said changes. I've never written a full guide to any video game before, so I want to try to start off strong. So without further ado, here's how I managed to successfully complete her route, and I hope it helps you all out as well!

Final Stretch

At this point, you should be locked into the rest of Hayasaka’s route, so I hope that from here until the credits, you're able to just sit back, relax, and enjoy yourselves as you were hopefully doing so along the way here. I really do hope that this guide was able to be of some help to you! And if you were able to successfully complete Hayasaka's route through different choices or these in particular did not work for you for some reason, feel free to let me know!

@linkseasonmaster thanks I thought it was but I wasn't sure. Haven't hit the bad ending yet. Last route to try.

[LinkSeasonMaster]

@jimmiyz If you're referring to the second-to-last CG in Hayasaka's gallery, it's actually not part of this route. Rather, it's the final scene in the bad ending route, and also takes up a spot in Nanase's gallery. I kinda get why they organized it like that, given just who shows up physically in it, but you're not the only who got confused by that. Even before going after the Hayasaka route, I ran into the same issue with Nanase, wondering why a spot in the gallery remained blank. And that was before the update with the new scenes in each of the non-bad ending routes.

I can't seem to unlock the scene for Hayasaka. It's the second to last scene. Is it a part of this route that's just not unlocking for me for whatever reason or another route?
