   Paul is the first dateable character the main character (Default Alex) meets on their first day at Sihai. Paul's route is triggered by choosing to intern with Sanitation.

## **Appearance**

Paul is a muscular but round old tanuki of medium height. His fur is mostly dark brown with lighter brown on the top of his head and snout. He has green eyes that are rarely more than halfway open.

## **Personality**

Paul is a playful but secretive individual who prefers to tease or prank those around him. Nobody knows him well and when asked questions about himself, he either dodges the question, refuses to answer, or lies. He is oddly empathetic and seems to always know what others are thinking, what he does with this information is up to him.

He has the distinction of being more receptive to flirting from the female Alex than the male Alex. He will teasingly dodge flirting regardless.

## **Story**

On Wednesday, July the 8th, Alex first meets Paul when trying to find their way to Shen's office as notices that Alex seems lost. Paul leads them there but never introduces himself. Alex learns Paul's name when Shen thanks him as he leaves. When Shen leaves Alex to explore Sihai, they'll run into Paul again who asks what they think of the campus. He answers some questions with not very much detail, but he seems to know what Alex is thinking. If NSFW mode is on, Paul will show off his bulge to the female Alex, but will tell a male Alex no. He ends the conversation saying that Alex should leave soon to beat the traffic then disappears, confusing Alex. When Alex discusses Paul with their dad, dad reveals that nobody knows anything about him really.

On Thursday the 9th, Alex runs into Paul while touring the amusement park with Shen. He explains that the custodial staff is responsible for the whole campus. If player character is female Alex, Shen will ask if Paul is "messing with them."

On Friday the 10th, Alex must choose to intern in sanitation to trigger Paul's route. When meeting with Shen, he's a little surprised at Alex's decision but writes them a note for Paul to watch over them and commenting that maybe Alex can "reel him in a little." Alex has trouble finding Paul as Shen shrugs when asked where to find him and Nova admits to not seeing him but that she finds him to be troublesome. She then suggest that Alex check the park for him where they wander around looking for him.

When Alex is about to give up, Paul surprises them by pressing an ice cube onto the back of their neck. When Alex goes to hand him Shen's note, Paul already has it in his hands. When asked how, Paul says that Alex should keep better track of their stuff with a smile on his face. When asked what his last name is, Paul responds that it's for him to know and for Alex to find out, but they should just call him Paul in the meantime. He tells Alex that he's almost done for the day and that their first day will be Monday. He then vanishes again and again confusing Alex.

On Saturday the 11th, Paul can show up at the glory hole where he seems to know what Alex is thinking and even knows their gender. Alex notes that he's a bit rude but does offer some encouraging words as well. Alex can also go grocery shopping where they feel like they're being watched, Alex will ask out loud if it's Paul.

On Sunday the 12th, Alex asks dad about Paul while they eat breakfast. Dad admits that all he knows about him is he's hard to find when he's needed and likes pulling pranks. Alex then goes on a walk where they lose track of time. On their way home, they run into Paul in the woods who asks why they're at his camp. When Alex admits it's an accident, Paul warns them not to tell anyone where he is. Alex spends some time with Paul at his camp where he reveals he likes chocolate and that he'll be moving his camp soon. When asked why, he tells Alex that it isn't any of their business. He asks Alex if they're ready for their first day and then steals their phone to put an alarm in it before returning it. He tells Alex to leave as he has stuff to do and he'll see them tomorrow.

If NSFW is enabled, Alex can return to Paul's camp and catch him masturbating. The can either leave, keep watching, or get closer. If Alex gets closer, they get caught in a trap and get Paul's attention, Paul tells them that's why he told them not to come back. Alex offers to help Paul finish, but Paul cuts them down saying it'll be more fun to make Alex wait.

On Monday the 13th, Alex waits for Paul at the gate of the theme park. Paul surprises them when Alex turns around and he tells them that they need to work on their nerve. He gives Alex a tour while explaining their responsibilities and benefits as he leads them to a room in an underground tunnel system. If NSFW is on, Alex can flirt and change next to Paul, which Alex stares at Paul as he changes. Paul sends Alex on their way after messing with them a little more, telling them to meet him in the room at noon if they want to eat lunch with him.

When Alex meets with him for lunch, Paul explains that the tunnel system and the rooms are a shelter in case a worst case scenario were to happen. But they are used by custodial staff as break rooms or, if NSFW is on, for sex by Sihai employees. He then explains that people "call dibs" on rooms and Alex will share his room for the time being as they're his minion before sending them back to work telling them they're doing fine.

Paul later finds Alex and takes the mop from them, telling them that it's company policy to be presentable at all times but that they're done for the day and send Alex to go clean up with an amused expression. Paul later sends Alex a text telling them they did a good job. When Alex goes to bed they wonder how they can get closer to Paul.

## **Info From Other Routes**

On Shen's route, it's revealed that Sarah and Paul have a love/hate relationship. Alex can speak with Sarah in the hall on Friday the 10th in Shen's route where she talks about her husband and how she wishes some unnamed individual would come save her and her kids. She describes the individual as someone who plays pranks, takes stuff, sneaks up on her, and teases her. She also describes the individual as having strong muscles, a round belly, and soft fur before she stops herself, saying he's terrible.

In Jorge's route, Jorge said Paul is the one who gave him Alex's address which makes Alex suspicious.
