Tape 2 ofLost Records: Bloom & Ragestarts with a nightmarish sequence before suddenly returning to the present. Swann is still trying to figure out exactly what happened in the past, so she grabs some more drinks for her friends Nora and Autumn, since they’re doing this together.

During the chapter “The Lock”, the grown-up girls finally unfold the mysterious package, which leaves them with even more questions than answers. Swann is once again the driving force here, making the important choices that will shape the future, their next choices, and how each of the girls views each other.

Grabbing Some Drinks

As soon as the chapter starts,Swann is grabbing some drinks at the counter. Pam asks if you’re OK:

It’s nothing… just been a long night.

Neutral.

Regardless of your choice,pay Gus by placing the money on the counter, then grab your drinks. you may take a stroll around the bar to Reminisce by interacting with some objects (like the microphone). By heading to the billiards table, the woman compliments your outfit, to which you can answer with “Aw, thanks… it’s vintage”.

Once you’re done with the small detours,return to your table to start drinking with the girls.After a small comment on Swann’s tattoo, you get another choice:

The present versions of Nora and Autumn in Lost Records: Bloom & Rage.

Let’s just open the package.

Neutral, immediately advances the story.

Picking the first option unlocks some extra dialogue with the girls, which means more choices and, of course, more chances to increase your relationship with them:

Nora approves.

The Package

Once you all decide to open the package,pick it up to finally unravel it. Keep spinning the package to find new pieces of paper to remove, until you fully reveal the locked box. After you realize it was from Kat all along,you start questioning how this is possible:

What if it’s not really Kat?

How did she… is she alive?

You attempt to open the lock, but to no avail.The “It won’t bulge” option will happen regardless of whether you pick it or not, leading to another fully arbitrary choice (which can also be skipped). After that, you decide to try to remember the password,but Nora’s not in the mood.

Don’t you want to know what’s in here?

Nora disapproves.

Once she leaves,you and Autumn are left alone, leading to a final choice.

We’ll open the package with or without her.

She’s overwhelmed. I get it.

Autumn approves.

Once Autumn’s phone vibrates, you can interact with other items around the table. Once you’re done,pick up Kat’s note againand choose to Reminisce to finish the chapter.
