This Is Unforgivable!: Robert knows his parents will never accept him if they find out he's gay. Once they know, his parents completely disown him. Though, in the epilogue, it's mentioned Robert's mother talked with him on the phone when he recently called. However, seeing as we're talking about the epilogue, this isn't explored. | |

You Are Not Alone | |
The Way You Are / int_d44ea142 | comment |
You Are Not Alone: Pete makes Robert feel a lot less alone. He can also relate to his Abhorrent Admirer because like her, he knows what it's like to be looked down upon because of appearance. | |

It's Okay to Cry | |
The Way You Are / int_db0cd558 | comment |
It's Okay to Cry: Normally, Pete would rather Robert eat because he's hungry or enjoying a snack, not because he's nervous. However, there is one in-the-moment instance where he's totally fine with Robert using his go-to of binge eating for comfort. It's a weird variation of It's Okay to Cry. Also played straight in different instances. | |

Darkest Hour: The main character has his darkest hour after finally having had enough with the state of his life. Fed up with lying to his parents and fed up with the way they treat him, along with his anger over their treatment of Pete, Robert comes out to his parents. Sadly, they can't accept it and disown him. This leads to a deep depression episode. | |
