All Choices In Chapter 5 In Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

During the fifth chapter of Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, Swann finally arrives at Movie Palace to return her tape, but decides to stroll around instead of heading directly home as she was asked to. This seemingly innocent decision ends up changing her whole summer (and, as a consequence, her whole life too).

In this free-roam section, she finally meets Autumn, Nora, and Kat for the first time after being dragged into a huge misunderstanding. This marks the start of their lifelong friendship, and, just as you would expect, plenty of choices will affect both your relationship with the girls and the game as a whole.

Keeping In Touch With Mom

The Movie Palace story Memoir must be completed to proceed. You can record various items, such as the Movie Palace logos, the movie posters, the Yooper Scooper’s logo, the car’s antenna, or the terror movie clown life-size cardboard. Capturing five of them completes the Memoir.

You can also capture some parts for optional Memoirs around here, such as:

• Water Tower: In the Movie Palace’s rightmost alley, in front of the clown cardboard.
• Graffiti: Multiple instances in the alley’s walls. You can also find one in the van, and more are available later in the chapter.
• Scenic Views: Directly behind Swann, above the road.
• Birds: Various Ring-Billed Gulls are around this chapter. The easiest to spot is directly behind the car, right below the Movie Palace spinning logo.
• Moving In Place: The shoes above the van and the Movie Palace flag, next to the alley.

Before heading to the Yooper Scooper, approach the phone booth and call Swann’s mom, and she’ll ask you to come home, to which you can answer:

No matter what you choose, your mom still wants you to help, and asks you to bring a friend. You initially only get a sad answer, but waiting a few seconds unlocks two more options:

After some small talk, it’s time to say bye to Mom. You have two regular answers, but staying silent is also an option.

Saying nothing won’t affect your relationship either. Once you’re done here, it’s time for some ice scream.

The Mom call is fully optional. Since it has no branchings whatsoever, you can fully skip it if you don’t want to see those extra scenes between Swann and her mother.

Out For Ice Cream

The options you’ll get here change according to how quickly you get to the Yooper Scooper. If you take too long, you’ll hear the girls speaking about closing the shop, and you won’t be able to get your slushy. It takes about five minutes for Autumn to close, and she’ll announce when she starts packing up.

Once you approach the shop, Nora asks you if you’re naturally red-headed. Answering her can get you some extra approval:

If you stay put for a while, she says you’re the quiet type, to which you can also answer:

If you come around while the girls are chatting, you’ll miss both of these interactions.

The tables around Nora are filled with Graffiti you can film for the Memoir, so take this chance. Once you’re ready, speak with Autumn:

If you took too long to order, you’ll get the following answers:

But if you get here on time, the dialogue is quite different:

If you choose to order something, you get to pick your flavor. Touching each of the symbols in the menu unlocks their respective option. They are in the left, the middle, and to the right of the screen, and are, respectively:

Regardless of what happens, you’ll be sent back to 2022 once you either decide to come back another day or get your favorite flavor.

Meeting Autumn, Again

Back to the present, you find out that Autumn was actually using the restroom. You can react in the following ways:

Not picking anything won’t affect your relationship. But if you choose anything here, you get a follow-up:

Once again, not choosing anything won’t have any effect. Swann enters the bathroom, and you’re back to 1995 as soon as you open the door.

The Wrong Way Back

Swann is killing some time with or without her slushy. If you had one, you can approach Nora and Autumn for extra interactions. Autumn asks you if it was good, to which you can answer:

Approaching the backside of the shop will let you listen to the girls bickering about popcorn prices. You can say:

But if you try to walk behind the shop, Autumn asks you to leave.

You can do it again, though.

Staying quiet in both situations has no consequences. Walking around a third time triggers some funny dialogue, but no options pop up.

After a while, Swann notices she’s late, and decides to take the fence (to the left of Movie Palace) shortcut back home. A balloon appears on her way, and you must film it to proceed. It also counts toward the Moving In Place Memoir.

However, Dylan thinks you were recording her and goes off on you, but you can try to defend yourself:

No matter what you choose (even if you stay quiet), she tries to grab your camera. You can try, once again, to clarify things:

Your answer only changes how she insults you next. If you apologized once, your choice is slightly different, but with the same results:

Choosing to film Dylan unlocks the Bullies Memoir. This is optional, so make sure to grab her on camera if you’re going for it. Regardless of what you choose, Corey comes in his motorcycle. If you filmed Dylan, she says you’re harassing her.

If you didn’t, you get a slightly different option once he asks her who you are:

After a few more insults, you can try to defend yourself once again:

But of course, it won’t work at all. But you can actually do something in the next choice:

Filming them gives you two more entries in the Bullies Memoir.

Staying quiet or talking about the balloon won’t help you. Corey now actually wants you to film him, which you can refuse if you want:

Choosing to film him unlocks more entries for the Bullies Memoir. He gives you some poses to record, and the scene ends after he gives you a third pose. But if you refuse to film him, he won’t be so pleased, and forces you to think again:

If you film him here, the scene goes exactly as in the choice before. Refusing again or staying silent makes Corey even more aggressive, and you can tell him off once more:

Saying it or staying silent, it won’t matter. Corey snaps at you and demands you to apologize. You have a few choices, but you barely have time to pick them. Kat arrives to save you. This also happens if you film Corey. The girls decide to go to the movies and leave the couple behind:

Being quiet won’t change anything. Corey doesn’t want her sister to go, and Kat reacts by giving her the only logical answer: by flipping her sister off. Of course, you can react to it, or stay quiet and don’t change anything (again):

She had it coming. But Corey’s still mad about it, so he steals Autumn’s shop keys and throws them away before leaving with Dylan. The chapter ends with the girls all being angry and confused, as Autumn is now in some big trouble if they don’t find the keys.
