In high school, Emily gets together with either Brad or Travis, depending on if you went to Travis's party. She is also best friends with Julie. She breaks up with Brad/Travis in 2004.

### Emily is Away

In the protagonist‘s senior year of high school in 2002, they use a chat client to talk with "emilyluv", "emerly", or Emily. They discuss high school and a fellow student, Brad, who keeps sending Emily messages. They also talk about a party that a classmate Travis is throwing that evening, which they may or may not go to, depending on player choices. Then they say goodbye as Emily logs off.

In their first year of college (2003), the player talks to Emily again, who has gotten together with Brad or Travis (depending on if the player chose to go to the party or not), though she hints that the relationship has become rocky. The character congratulates her, and shifts to other questions, such as their classes. They say goodbye, as Emily yet again logs off.

In their second year of college (2004), the player learns that Emily has broken up with Brad/Travis, explained by Emily as "growing apart", and the character is given the option of consoling her. At this point, Emily either asks why they didn't come to Travis's party in 2002 or why they didn't kiss her if they did attend, depending on the player choices. They both wonder what could have been, and Emily immediately asks if she can come to visit. Most of the time, they will agree for Emily to come, and the player will subsequently cancel their plans with Emma, a friend of the player. The player, alternatively can choose to not allow Emily to come. Emily signs off.

In their third year of college (2005), the player again talks to Emily, who wants to talk things over about her previous visit. If the character doesn't set boundaries and Emily visits, it turns out that Emily and the character ended up hooking up, and Emily feels like she was taken advantage of when she was vulnerable. If the character does set boundaries and they don't hook up, Emily asks if the character had feelings for her when she visited and why they didn't make a move. Alternatively, if you choose to not let Emily visit, she will ask you about your new friends. The conversation is awkward and distant, with Emily eventually leaving due to her discomfort, feeling too weird to continue.

In their final year of college (2006), Emily and the character have clearly grown apart. Emily comments how her life is better now; she started dating Brad/Travis again and is involved in other things. The player themselves have lost their friend Emma, in some cases because of Emily. As the conversation comes to an uncomfortable and cold finish, the character begins to revise sentences asking if the two will ever be the same – deleting earnest questions and asking about the weather or other mundane affairs instead. Despite the protagonist's obvious feelings for Emily, she obviously no longer cares, and as a result, they say goodbye. For the first time, the player character is the one who leaves the conversation, logging off.

Alternatively, if the player chooses not to talk things over in 2005, Emily will refuse to talk at all in 2006, stating she is too busy.

In this game, Emily's screen name is emerly35.

### Emily Is Away Too

The game's plot centers around the protagonist's relationship to their friends Emily and Evelyn from school. Prior to the start of the game, the protagonist met them under different circumstances, and the two girls themselves do not know each other. In each chapter, the protagonist talks to both characters individually with the chat client, alternating back and forth between conversing with each.

In the first two chapters, the player will learn about Emily and Evelyn. The two of them have very different personalities and have differing opinions on many topics, including taste in music and how to spend life after college. The player will also be asked a series of questions about themselves by each of them separately. Both characters are in a relationship that they hint is not going well due to them feeling used and manipulated by their partners.

In chapter three, the rocky relationships Emily and Evelyn are in have reached a breaking point, and both of them ask the protagonist for help after their partners did something particularly upsetting. However, the player will only have the time to help one of them, and the other will angrily leave the conversation and log off. The player nonetheless is able to calm down the one they were able to help and give them advice for their situation.

In chapter four, the advice given by the player in the previous chapter worked successfully. The one they had chosen to help managed to end the relationship they were previously in and became close with the protagonist instead, potentially entering a relationship depending on the player's choices. At the end of the chapter, the one that the player didn't help in the previous chapter talks to the protagonist for the first time since that day. They apologize for what they said to the player in the previous chapter and wish to start talking with them again. They state they got out of the relationship they were previously stuck in, and now are looking forward to moving on from high school and starting a new one in college.

In the fifth and final chapter, Emily and Evelyn get to know each other when they are placed in the same class, and the two will talk about the protagonist. What they say, and the events that follow, depend on the player's actions from the first two chapters; specifically whether or not the player's answers to questions about themselves were consistent when asked by each character.

If the player's answers were not consistent, the character the player didn't help in chapter three will point out all inconsistencies to the one they helped. This will severely damage their trust in the player, believing they lied just to get close to them. The protagonist will attempt to talk things out and regain their trust, but will fail regardless of what the player chooses to say. Believing the protagonist to be no better than the manipulative partner of their previous relationship, they will end all ties with them.

If the player's answers were consistent, the character the player didn't help in chapter three will say nice things about the protagonist, specifically pointing out their honesty. The one the player helped will thank the protagonist for being truthful to them the entire time, and any worries they had about them being manipulative like their previous partner will be gone. From here, the player can choose whether to be just friends with them, enter a relationship with them if they hadn't already, or continue their relationship into college if they were already in one.
