Before the festival;
Today is Monday, the day of the cultural festival...

Default Route

*This route is taken if you took the Natsuki Normal Route, Yuri Normal Route - No relationship, or Yuri New Route from Chapter 5: Weekend.*
Main Character 1 receives a message from the girl he aided during the weekend, saying that she will be coming over shortly to help carry the decorations/cupcakes. Until she comes, rather than wait for Sayori, Main Character 1 goes to Sayori's house.

Main Character 1 knows this feels familiar and he's guessing what may happen. He opens Sayori's bedroom door and finds "Sayori hanging in her bedroom". Even though Main Character 1 was expecting it, it still jumpscared him. However, he quickly saw through the prank and tells Sayori that everyone is waiting for them. The real Sayori appears, disappointed that he saw through her trickery and when Monika thought it was hilarious, Main Character 1 scolded both Sayori and Monika and left Sayori's house.

Natsuki and Yuri arrived at Sayori's house upon Main Character 1's exit and greeted him. Sayori comes out shortly in a rush after Main Character 1 told them about the stunt Sayori just pulled. Sayori gets scolded by her Vice President Yuri, however, if Main Character 1 has Yuri as his girlfriend, Natsuki will be a temporarily vice president for the day. With the cupcakes and decorations in hands, the Literature Club members head off to school.

Natsuki New Route
To start things off, Main Character 1 explains what he and Natsuki did this morning. Natsuki had a nice breakfast of two bowls of cereal. However, Main Character 1 wonders what Natsuki's father is doing but there's not enough time to check.

Main Character 1 and Natsuki head out of their house and meet Sayori and Yuri outside. Yuri has heard about the news with Natsuki and felt terrible for her. Yuri also seems to be a bit jealous and Main Character 1 asks Sayori if she could clone him to keep her and Yuri company but Sayori doesn't want to abuse her powers. Anyway, it's nearly festival time so the Literature Club members head off to school.

Yuri Normal Route
To start things off, Main Character 1 explains what he and Yuri did during the weekend. Main Character 1 took Yuri to the park, movie, and a restaurant. He really wants to make her depressing girlfriend happy after the tragedy that occurred on Saturday. Since neither Yuri nor Main Character 1 could take care of a pet while they are at school, Yuri's grandparents stopped by their house and took Rina home. While Main Character 1 stated that they won't do anything "inappropriate" until after school, there were some things that helped Yuri cope with her grief and depression. He also apologized to us, the players, for being angry since we weren't able to do anything to save Yuri's parents or reload our save whether if we did or not.

Main Character 1 and Natsuki head out of their house and meet Sayori and Natsuki outside. Natsuki has heard about the news with Yuri and felt terrible for her and Sayori wanted to make sure Yuri is alright and taking her medication regularly. Main Character 1 got an idea asks Sayori if she could clone him to keep her and Natsuki company but Sayori doesn't want to abuse her powers. Anyway, it's nearly festival time so the Literature Club members head off to school.

Part 1 of the Festival
Upon reaching the literature clubroom in the morning, Natsuki placed the cupcakes on the desk while the club sets up their decorations from the ones they were carrying and the ones they stored away last week. Sayori reminds them that they have poetry performance later and they are still nervous.

Main Character 1 helped Sayori putting up the decorations behind the podium and Main Character 1 asks Sayori if she's doing alright since they never really spend time together. While Sayori says she's alright, Main Character 1 doesn't think she is and he wants to help her. Sayori doesn't want Main Character 1 to help her with her feelings whether or not Main Character 1 has a girlfriend. Sayori is getting annoyed with Main Character 1 bickering and Main Character 1 wants Sayori to get a good boyfriend. Still, they do talk about club presidential abilities and its curse. Main Character 1 is still anxious about what the Doki Doki Virus may be.

After decorations set up and when the festival really began, the Literature Club has drawn some crowds. The Literature Club members recited their poems in front of the crowd. Some were a hit and miss. Sayori went first, then Natsuki, then Yuri, and finally Main Character 1, when he wanted to his earlier. After poetry performance, while the Vice President of the Day stayed in the Literature Club to supervise the club and its crowd, the other members head out to have fun at the club.

Natsuki Festival Route
Even though Main Character 1 is going to take Natsuki to the festival with him, Main Character 1 has made a "promise" that he would take Sayori out on a date. While they were walking around in the halls, while Natsuki was interested in looking at some art in *Art Fantastique* ("Fantastic Art" in French), Sayori grew hungry so they stopped by at Cooking Club's café, known in French as *Le Café du Club de Cuisine*, and its Club President Takeda greeted them. Sayori had a sandwich à l'omelette ("omelet sandwich" in French), Natsuki had a strawberry milk and a strawberry macaron, and since Main Character 1 also felt like having sweets, he had hot chocolate and chocolate truffles. Main Character 1 wonders if the Cooking Club members are fake, as in clones? Sayori is not sure but it is possible. Sayori just wants to relax and have a good time at the festival without the Doki Doki Virus troubling their minds.

After they got their order, Main Character 1 wanted Natsuki to try one of his chocolate truffles. Even though Natsuki passed, he still snuck one in Natsuki's mouth and Sayori found it cute and adorable, which slightly enraged Natsuki, but still found it tasty. However, Natsuki tells her boyfriend to warn her before doing something like that, especially in public. Natsuki still feels insecure about being in a relationship in public. Natsuki leaves the café to look at art at the *Art Fantastique* and Sayori and Main Character 1 will join her soon. After their morning snack, Sayori wants to head back to the literature clubroom to check to see if anything happened they stop by *Art Fantastique* first to check on Natsuki.

Main Character 1 asks Natsuki if there were anything interesting at *Art Fantastique* but Natsuki didn't find many things to be that great. While returning to the literature clubroom, Sayori was starting to act suspiciously weird towards Main Character 1, which made him a bit anxious. Sayori doesn't want to ruin Main Character 1's and Natsuki's time at the club but she couldn't hold her feelings in anyone and confessed her feelings towards him and us. Monika was thinking about deleting Sayori before she goes insane from the presidential curse but Main Character 1 tries a different method and gave Sayori the love she needed and asked Natsuki to join in. After Sayori calmed down, Monika was surprised it worked but she became upset that no one helped her when Monika needed love. Monika left them alone afterward. Main Character 1 really wants Sayori to get a boyfriend so something like this won't happen, plus, it would benefit Sayori and her love to help others if the boyfriend is also depressed and Sayori finally understands.

After that fiasco, the group returned to the Literature Club...

Yuri Festival Route
Even though Main Character 1 is going to take Yuri to the festival with him, Main Character 1 has made a "promise" that he would take Sayori out on a date. While they were walking around in the halls, Yuri was interested in checking out *The Wonders of Horror* Haunted House attraction but it was currently closed. Sayori grew hungry so they instead stopped by at Cooking Club's café, known in French as *Le Café du Club de Cuisine*, and its Club President Takeda greeted them. Sayori had a sandwich à l'omelette ("omelet sandwich" in French), Yuri just had green tea, and Main Character 1 also had green tea along with a pack of chocolate candies. Main Character 1 wonders if the Cooking Club members are fake, as in clones? Sayori is not sure but it is possible. Sayori just wants to relax and have a good time at the festival without the Doki Doki Virus troubling their minds.

In the Yuri Normal Route, Sayori notices that Yuri is doing a little bit better and Yuri thanks both Sayori and Main Character 1. In the Yuri New Route, Sayori asks Yuri if this is her first date with anyone but she's too nervous to say. Main Character 1 wants Sayori to get a boyfriend.

After they got their order, at some point for nostalgia, Main Character 1 placed a piece of chocolate candy in Yuri's mouth. Sayori found it cute and adorable and Yuri blushed. However, Natsuki tells her boyfriend to warn her before doing something like that, especially in public. Natsuki still feels insecure about being in a relationship in public. Natsuki leaves the café to look at art at the *Art Fantastique* and Sayori and Main Character 1 will join her soon. After their morning snack, Sayori wants to head back to the literature clubroom to check to see if anything happened they stop by *Art Fantastique* first to check on Natsuki.

Main Character 1 asks Natsuki if there were anything interesting at *Art Fantastique* but Natsuki didn't find many things to be that great. While returning to the literature clubroom, Sayori was starting to act suspiciously weird towards Main Character 1, which made him a bit anxious. Sayori doesn't want to ruin Main Character 1's and Natsuki's time at the club but she couldn't hold her feelings in anyone and confessed her feelings towards him and us. Monika was thinking about deleting Sayori before she goes insane from the presidential curse but Main Character 1 tries a different method and gave Sayori the love she needed and asked Natsuki to join in. After Sayori calmed down, Monika was surprised it worked but she became upset that no one helped her when Monika needed love. Monika left them alone afterward. Main Character 1 really wants Sayori to get a boyfriend so something like this won't happen, plus, it would benefit Sayori and her love to help others if the boyfriend is also depressed and Sayori finally understands.

After that fiasco, the group returned to the Literature Club...

Sayori Festival Route

*This route is taken if Main Character 1 doesn't have a girlfriend, also known as the "No Relationship Route".*
Main Character 1 has made a "promise" that he would take Sayori out on a date. While they were walking around in the halls, Sayori grew hungry so she and Main Character 1 stopped by at Cooking Club's café, known in French as *Le Café du Club de Cuisine*, and its Club President Takeda greeted them. Sayori had a sandwich à l'omelette ("omelet sandwich" in French) while Main Character 1 had hot chocolate and chocolate candies. Main Character 1 wonders if the Cooking Club members are fake, as in clones? Sayori is not sure but it is possible. Sayori just wants to relax and have a good time at the festival without the Doki Doki Virus troubling their minds.

Sayori wonders why Main Character 1 isn't dating anyone else and his three explanations are that (one) maybe he lost interest, (two) he wants to be closer to Sayori, or (three) he doesn't want to be in a relationship to feel grief or depression later if he loses his partner. Sayori wonders why Main Character 1 bothers staying in the literature club since he came for the girls but he doesn't want to leave the girls defenseless. Still, Sayori tells Main Character 1 to not worry about it. Then they once again talked about the curse of being a literature club president, how it can make them become obsessive towards the player and delusional to the world around them. After their morning snack, Sayori wants to head back to the literature clubroom to check to see if anything happened and Main Character 1 follows her and takes the lead.

On their way back as Main Character 1 was the one leading Sayori back, Sayori was acting suspiciously weird towards Main Character 1, which made him a bit anxious. Sayori couldn't hold in her feelings for us any longer and recklessly jumped on Main Character 1, trying to get closer to us. It's just like the normal ending of *Doki Doki Literature Club!* when Sayori was going insane being Club President. When Monika noticed Sayori was going insane, she deleted her and limited her administrative rights until Sayori calms down. Main Character 1 was upset about Monika deleting Sayori but it was to protect him and us. After Sayori calmed down, Monika allowed her to speak and Sayori apologized to Main Character 1 and us. Monika respawned Sayori with her full rights as Club President. Seeing that no one reacted to Main Character 1 and Sayori, they know their world is fake with fake people. But despite that, they still want to enjoy the cultural festival to its fullest.

They returned to the Literature Club...

New club members
An eager girl was seemingly causing trouble, eating all of Natsuki's cupcakes. The Literature Club's Vice President was not pleased. If Natsuki is acting as Vice President of the Day, she seems to already know this girl. Her name is Erika. A boy informed her that the club's president may have returned. Erika zealously asked Sayori if she and her friend could join the literature club. While Natsuki doesn't want her to, Sayori allows it. Sayori also seems to know her.

Natsuki knows her since they took science class together and they are often lab partners. Natsuki got her into *Parfait Girls* and while she claims Erika to be one of her best friends, she also claims Erika to be annoying. Sayori knows her since they are in the same Language Arts class. Main Character 1 was curious about Natsuki's and Erika's relationship since he remembered in Natsuki's routes in Act I that Natsuki didn't have many friends or share her interests with them but that's because Main Character 1 was new to Natsuki at the time and Natsuki felt insecure telling strangers about her hobbies.

While Natsuki and Sayori were talking to Erika, Main Character 1 saw a boy sitting at one of the desks and decided to talk to him, asking him if he's joining the club. Unlike Erika, who is enthusiastic to join, the nervous-looking boy wasn't sure yet but he is into reading and writing poetry. Main Character 1 teased him if he's going to join the club for the girls and he flustered. The boy said that he and Erika might be joining the club for other reasons. Sayori comes up to the two boys and tells Main Character 1 not to tease him. Sayori greeted the new boy and asked if he signed up for the literature club. He has a blush on his face and responded that he hasn't yet but since Erika is joining, he figured he might as well. Sayori was ecstatic that they got two new club members.

When Sayori asks the boy's name, we are the ones who give him a nickname but he'll alternately be referred to as Main Character 2 or MC2. We are now controlling in this new playable character's point-of-view, seeing what he's seeing as well as listening to his thoughts. Sayori asks him if he was among the crowd during poetry performance. He wasn't there at the time but Erika was. Main Character 2 was skeptical about joining a new club as he was trying to get away from something else. Main Character 2 wasn't feeling good; depressed. Sayori tells him to relax and if there is anything he needs, he should come to see her.

When Sayori leaves him, Main Character 2 found Sayori to be cute like an angel. Main Character 1 catches on and noticed that the new kid likes Sayori. Main Character 2 nervously stutters and he's not sure if he should have feelings for her. While Main Character 1 can't see into his mind directly, he can tell the new kid likes Sayori and tells him it's fine that he likes his best friend; Sayori could use a boyfriend. Main Character 1 tells him that the reason he joined the club was for the cupcakes Natsuki made and the cute girls in the club...

If taken Natsuki Festival Route
Main Character 1 tells Main Character 2 that he became closer to Natsuki. When he whispers to Main Character 2 about Natsuki's tsundere-isk personality and the bad family life Natsuki recently lived in, Natsuki comes up to him from behind and slaps him in the back of the head. Main Character 2 is starting to get bad impressions about Natsuki, especially on how harsh she was on Erika. Natsuki leaves them for a minute and Main Character 1 for tells Main Character 2 that Natsuki is not that bad. In the Natsuki New Route, When Main Character 1 told Main Character 2 about how Natsuki's home life became terrible, Main Character 2 remembered hearing news about a neighborhood raid as the bandits just missed his area.

Natsuki returns to their conversation and tells Main Character 1 to stop talking about her. Natsuki apologizes to Main Character 2 as she doesn't want to be seen as a bully and wants Main Character 2 to keep it a secret, though, her trust with her boyfriend became slightly less. Main Character 2 understood after what he misunderstood about her.

Main Character 1 leaves Main Character 2 alone since Main Character 2 seems like he wants to be alone but Main Character 1 informs him that if he needs anything, see either him or Sayori and if he's depressed, see Sayori. Main Character 2 wonders why and blushes.

If taken Yuri Festival Route
Main Character 1 tells Main Character 2 that he became closer to Yuri. In the Yuri Normal Route, Main Character 1 even stated that her girlfriend is currently living with her. He explains that his girlfriend recently lost her family. Main Character 2 heard it on the news yesterday. Yuri dejectedly comes up to them and tells her boyfriend not talk about it. Main Character 2 tells Yuri that the family massacre was broadcasted on the news yesterday and Yuri felt embarrassed hearing her miserable story was the news. Main Character 2 apologizes to Yuri about the loss of her family and Yuri was sadly happy for his concerns and left the conversation. Main Character 2 hope she feels well.

In the Yuri New Route, Main Character 1 tells Main Character 2 that Yuri is very lovely. In both routes, he tells him that Yuri suffers from social anxiety and Main Character 2 can also relate as he is not good talking to people too, but he doesn't want to talk about himself at the moment.

Main Character 1 leaves Main Character 2 alone since Main Character 2 seems like he wants to be alone but Main Character 1 informs him that if he needs anything, see either him or Sayori and if he's depressed, see Sayori. Main Character 2 wonders why and blushes.

If taken Sayori Festival Route
While Main Character 1 tells Main Character 2 that he joined the club for the girls, he doesn't have a girlfriend yet and that he's not seeking to be in a relationship yet. Main Character 2 wondered why he joined. Main Character 2 prayed for him but Main Character 1 has the potential to get into a relationship with one of the girls if he wants to. While Main Character 2 isn't joining the club for the girls, he does find Main Character 1's best friend to be cute.

Main Character 1 leaves Main Character 2 alone since Main Character 2 seems like he wants to be alone but Main Character 1 informs him that if he needs anything, see either him or Sayori and if he's depressed, see Sayori. Main Character 2 wonders why and blushes.

Part 2 of the Festival
After Main Character 1 leaves Main Character 2 alone, Erika talks to Main Character 2 to see how he's doing. He's still not completely sure if he wants to stay in the literature club. Erika thanks Main Character 2 for a previous event they have encountered. Something seemed to have troubled Main Character 2, Erika, and their friends in the past that seems to be mysterious and they split paths ever since. Erika wants Main Character 2 to relax and enjoy himself.

Since the literature club wasn't getting any more new members or guests, Sayori announced that they are closing their literature club event so that they can enjoy the rest of the festival. Natsuki and Yuri are fine only having two new members as they prefer being in a small club but Erika can be overzealous for Natsuki's taste. Erika wants to catch up on her reading with Natsuki but Natsuki and the others are busy reading *Death Scroll* and/or *Bartley McCotter and the Archdruid's Crystal* in the club. Erika is up-to-date on *Death Scroll* and she's halfway through *Bartley McCotter* and she asks if she can join Natsuki and the others. Natsuki agrees as long as Erika stays quiet.

Sayori asks Main Character 2 what he will be doing. Main Character 2 is unsure but he wants to check to make his friends are okay. Sayori can detect Main Character 2's depression and tells him if he needs anything, see her, just like Main Character 1 said. Main Character 1 will be walking around the festival with his girlfriend if he has one, if not, he'll ask Sayori but Sayori will ask him something later. Erika asked Main Character 2 if he wants to walk around and check on their friends and Main Character 2 will like to do that but keep a low profile. He feels like he's being watched.

If Main Character 1 is walking around with a girlfriend if he has one, his girlfriend stops by a restroom and Main Character 1 wait for her. If he has a girlfriend, Sayori appears to Main Character 1 but Main Character 1 wants Sayori to stay away because he doesn't want Sayori to ruin his time with his girlfriend again. If Main Character 1 doesn't have a girlfriend, Sayori just wants to talk to Main Character 1 in private.

Sayori wants to talk to Main Character 1 about Erika and Main Character 2. First of all, the player was able to take observer over Main Character 2 and Main Character 1 which explained Main Character 1 was feeling "alone". Sayori notices that their depression and insanity levels are off the charts, especially Main Character 2's depression level while Erika's depression level is very unstable. Even though their insanity levels are off the charts, there is a cap limit restricting their current insanity level and Sayori is afraid to remove it. Sayori is worried and Main Character 1 wonders if they are carrying what may be the "Doki Doki Virus". Main Character 1 suggests interrogating them and Monika agrees. Sayori disagrees and she doesn't want to hurt anyone that's suffering.

Natsuki Festival Route - Part 2
Natsuki heard Main Character 1 and Sayori talking outside the restroom and wondered what's going on. Natsuki is aggravated, thinking that Sayori came to ruin her and Main Character 1's time at the festival again. Sayori and Main Character 1 explained to her what they were talking about but Natsuki just wants to enjoy the festival without all of this suspicious bickering. Sayori leaves them alone but Main Character 1 was disappointed in his girlfriend's attitude towards Sayori. Natsuki wants to enjoy the festival with him and asked him if he wants to play shogi with him at the Shogi Club.

Yuri Festival Route - Part 2 (Yuri Normal Route)
While Sayori and Main Character 1 were talking about Main Character 2 and Erika, they heard Yuri crying in the restroom stalls, calling out for her deceased parents. Main Character 1 and Sayori were worried about Yuri and Sayori went to check on her and comfort her, telling Yuri that she still has Main Character 1 as her family and that he'll give nice hugs to her. Main Character 1 was flattered hearing that from Sayori. Sayori thanks Yuri for saving her before Sayori could uncontrollably ruin their moment at the festival from the presidential curse and leaves them alone.

Yuri came out of the restroom, depressingly happy. Main Character 1 wonders if Yuri is doing okay and she'll manage. Yuri wondered what Main Character 1 and Sayori were talking about outside the restroom and Main Character 1 decides not to explain. Instead, he tells Yuri that he loves her more than anyone and that he'll always protect her. Yuri is thankful for him and all of her friends in the Literature Club. Main Character 1 asks Yuri if she wants to check *The Wonders of Horror* if they have opened again and the attraction has reopened.

Yuri Festival Route - Part 2 (Yuri New Route)
Yuri heard Main Character 1 and Sayori talking outside the restroom and wondered what's going on. Sayori apologizes to Yuri if she's ruining the festival for Main Character 1 and Yuri again. Sayori and Main Character 1 explained to her what they were talking about and while Yuri agreed that they seem strange, Main Character 1 and Sayori may be exaggerating too much. Sayori leaves them alone and Main Character 1 asks Yuri if she wants to check *The Wonders of Horror* if they have opened again and the attraction has reopened.

Main route
Main Character 2 can't believe how peaceful the cultural festival is. He still feels like he's being followed and he does detect our presence. We ask him how he knows about us and Main Character 2 was wondering if we were the same entities who once guided him from where else. While we haven't played as Main Character 2 before, we have seen him in the visions given to us in this mod. Main Character 2 wonder if there was a "guide" for every school club, which is confirming Monika's theory that each school club could actually be their own gaming worlds. We ask Main Character 2 what club he came from. Main Character 2 unravels his left sleeve and there is some kind of mark on it and he won't say where he came from or what that mark is.

Suddenly, Main Character 2 heard Erika whimpering, saying nonsensical sad things and followed her voice. Erika seems to be talking to her parents, mentioning that a girl named Amy stole her lunch, as well as saying other negative nonsensical things. Main Character 2 finds Erika but she wasn't talking to anyone. As soon as Erika realized Main Character 2 was there, she instantly came into realization and her personality flipped immediately to her overzealous side. Main Character 2 states that he saw Erika doing this before but she doesn't want to show this side of her to her friends. Main Character 2 believes Erika has bipolar depression and states that she was hallucinating. Sometimes, he hallucinates bad stuff too. However, Main Character 2 is still surprised at how quick Erika can flip her depression to zealousness just like that while he himself is mostly depressed.

Anyway, Main Character 1 asked Erika about their friends. Erika zealously answered that their friends don't remember anything and that their "marks" are removed. Main Character 1 was surprised. He checked his arm again just to make sure but he still has his "mark". Erika also has one. Erika wants to eat and asks Main Character 1 if he wants to get something from the Cooking Club's café. Main Character 2 stated that they just came out of the café and Erika wants to eat again? Erika calls herself a "plumply plumpy princess." Anyway, Main Character 2 doesn't want to stick around in the halls for too much longer and he wants to head back to the Literature Club. As Erika follows him back, they were suddenly pulled into a black void.

Main Character 2 and Erika were scared and confused. Main Character 2 and Erika grew too suspicious towards Monika and Monika began interrogating these two new literature club members and even threatened to delete them. Monika wonders who they are working for. They don't know who is interrogating them and they also believe their interrogator is working for someone, trying to bring them back *there*. Monika wonders who are they talking about. She also questions about the mark on their arms, wondering if it relates to the Doki Doki Virus. Main Character 2 and Erika are not allowed to say anything are removed and they are very scared to say anything unless if their marks are removed.

Sayori teleports in the black void, scolding at Monika for interrogating two depressing people. Monika really cares about her club members and she is trying to protect them from whatever potential threat the new club members could possess. They could be spies. Sayori wants to figure this out on her own without hurting them. Erika and Main Character 2 just want their suffering to end. They ask for their arms to be cut off so that they could be free of the cursed mark they wear. Monika recognizes the mark to be the Belief Club's mark. While Sayori disagrees for them to be cut, Monika agreed to that proposition and removed their marked forearms, which made them happy. Sayori was surprised they weren't bothered having their arms removed. Erika and Main Character 2 mentioned that they are used to pain like that. Main Character 2 and Erika have forgotten and just remembered that their curse marks usually return somewhere else on their body but upon inspecting their body, they were ecstatic that their curse marks didn't return.

Monika decides to have a club meeting with all Literature Club members and teleport everyone to the literature club. The literature club members were confused about why they were brought back to the literature club and Natsuki was infuriated Monika interrupted their time at the festival. However, this was important. Main Character 2 and Erika explains who they were and where they came from. They along with their friends have been tortured by the Belief Club President named Kai for what felt like many months. Monika asked them what game they played and what is the Doki Doki Virus. They are not sure but Main Character 2 wondered if the "demons" that were torturing them is related to it.

Erika recognized that the girl who was interrogating her and Main Character 2 was Monika, who was popular in their school and that she was once in the Debate Club. Monika explained to them that she quit the Debate Club and created the Literature Club and that Sayori is currently running it. Monika wonders how the Debate Club members are doing, which made Erika and Main Character 2 strangely curious, but it wasn't discussed. The Belief Club and the Debate Club are the only clubs Monika cannot access, strangely enough, even though she came from the Debate Club. Monika apologized to them for her harsh interrogation and felt bad for what she did, but it's her high priority to protect the Literature Club's members from any possible threat and they understood. Monika made hints that she has done bad things before and Erika wondered what it was. Monika explained her story on what happened in the literature club's world, what she was and why she was deleted.

Even though Main Character 1 and Erika found what Monika did to be bad, they didn't find it to be as bad as what their Belief Club President did to his club members. At the start, the Belief Club looked innocent where all religious believers can talk about their beliefs in live without discrimination, but it was shortly transformed into a Torture Club (nicknamed "disBelief" Club by its members) where all of its club members were being tortured by their Belief Club President and his "demons", wherever they came from. Kai gave his club members slow, painful deaths, over and over... reviving them... re-torturing them... rewinding time... repeat... The literature club members felt terrible for them if this is stated to be true. They don't know what gave they were in but Main Character 2 believes it was a torture simulator. His player (or "guide", as he calls them) eventually talked to him and that's how he knew the existence of players. Monika feels bad for them if what they say is true.

While they were talking about the Belief Club's awful doing and how these worlds may work, we re-spectate over Main Character 1. Erika and Main Character 2 told the club that their Belief Club friends including Akida and Takeru don't remember anything when they found them and the two realized that they left their Belief Vice President Isshin in the deranged "disBelief" Club and they wish they could have freed him. Main Character 2 mentions that does "special torture" to his vice president. Erika wonders if every club are their own worlds and Monika pretty much can confirm that they are. After club meeting with Monika, Monika continued to do research on their world while everyone else will enjoy the rest of the festival.

Main Character 2 would like to enjoy the festival but he would be uncomfortable being anywhere near the belief clubroom. Sayori explains to him that the Belief Club appears as a normal club in the Literature Club's world but Main Character 2 doesn't trust it. Sayori asks Main Character 2 is she could accompany him for the rest of the festival and when he responded yes, she said "it'll be a date", which made Main Character 2 fluster nervously. Main Character 1 is surprised she's asking him, a new playable character, out. It's just we, the player, can't choose to be with the Club President, but the characters can still choose on their own. Still, Main Character 1 is happy with the choice he made. Sayori teases Main Character 2 about being his "guardian angel" and said that Main Character 1 wanted her to get a nice boyfriend. Even though Monika "left", she is jealous of hearing that but doesn't interfere.

Sayori wondered if Main Character 2 and Erika are dating but they have no romantic feelings for each other as Erika is actually a lesbian and she has a crush on Natsuki and she actually confessed to her, which shocked Main Character 1 and Natsuki. Natsuki is unsure how she feels about that but if she has Main Character 1 as his boyfriend, he'll mention that she already has him as his boyfriend, which would make Erika envious. If Natsuki isn't dating anyone, Erika will ask her out during the festival. Natsuki will accept as long as Erika doesn't make it look weird and Main Character 1 teases Natsuki.

Sayori asks Main Character 2 if he's ready and said that she'll protect him with her abilities, which made him relieved. Main Character 1 does support these two as a potential couple but he is also worried and has doubts if their love-at-first-sight will last. He is also still anxious about the Doki Doki Virus since that's still a mystery.

Before they go and enjoy themselves, Sayori tells Erika and Main Character 2 about the things they do in the Literature Club. Main Character 1 wondered if they should take down the decorations now and while Sayori closed their attraction, she would prefer to tear them down once the festival ends. Yuri wonders what Erika and Main Character 1 like to write about. Erika likes food and some things Natsuki likes and Main Character 2 likes religions, mythologies, and folklore. Stories like that are reasons why Main Character 2 live and its how he copes with depression. Natsuki wonders why Erika is not in the Cooking Club if she loves food but Erika mentions that she was banned from the Cooking Club for blowing up the Cooking Club a few times trying to bake a chocolate strawberry cake and fudge brownies without their permission. The Sous Chef Vice President Mia was not pleased, nor the Head Chef Club President Takeda and they weren't happy to see Erika, even as a customer, during the festival.

Sayori and Main Character 2 left the clubroom for their festival "date". Sayori finds him to be cute. Again, Main Character 1 supports them but he has doubts that their first-sight relationship will last and he really wants Sayori to be safe. If Natsuki doesn't have a boyfriend, Erika is going to accompany Natsuki on a "date", otherwise, Erika is going to accompany Yuri. If Main Character 1 has a girlfriend, he goes back to see the festival with his girlfriend. If he doesn't have a girlfriend, he is unsure what he wants to do but Yuri asks if she could tag along with him since everyone else is going out in pairs and Main Character 1 will accompany her.

Intermission #1
After the Literature Club members left to view the rest of the festival in pairs, we are strangely seeing another vision that's happening elsewhere. We are viewing a command prompt and someone is currently hacking into the Literature Club's world with a computer program called Dimension Breacher (dimensionbreacher.app) through a modified version of DigiShell Terminal v1.32 on a computer operating system called RealityOS v2.1.2. We lose connection to this vision when breaching completion reaches to 3%.

Part 3 of the Festival in pairs
We get to decide which pair to view in order. For pairs with non-playable characters, we see their interactions in third-person view as a spectator. For pairs with a playable character, we see their interactions in first-person view through the playable character's eyes and mind. Each time when we come back here, time resets for us so we can see what the pairs are doing (nearly) at the same time.

If Main Character 1's girlfriend is Natsuki, here are the menu options that are given to us:

* Sayori and [Main Character 2's name]
* Natsuki and [Main Character 1's name]
* Yuri and Erika

If Main Character 1's girlfriend is Natsuki, here are the menu options that are given to us:

* Sayori and [Main Character 2's name]
* Yuri and [Main Character 1's name]\*
* Natsuki and Erika

If Main Character 1 doesn't have a girlfriend, here are the menu options that are given to us:

* Sayori and [Main Character 2's name]
* Yuri and [Main Character 1's name]\*\*
* Natsuki and Erika

Sayori and Main Character 2 Festival
Sayori asks Main Character 2 if he's having fun at the festival. To Main Character 2, it is the most fun he has ever had in a long time. He still feels depressed after what happened to him and Sayori feels sorry for him. Main Character 2 asks why Sayori chose him over anyone else and claims that he's just a nobody. Sayori has many reasons why she chose Main Character 2 over anyone else including the fact that (one) he's a playable character and the Club President is cursed with the obsession to be closer to us, (two) she really feels bad for how he was mistreated in the Belief Club, (three) because she loves helping out others, especially those that can relate to her. (four) Doing Number #3 helps cope with her depression.

Main Character 2 wondered what happened to Sayori in the literature club before he joined. He remembered Monika mentioning that she drove her vice presidents on the road to suicide when they had the Literature Club meeting. It was a depressing time for Sayori. Sayori stated that she gave up life. Like Erika, she didn't want to show it to her friends and remained positive for them, lying to them. Sayori only saw herself as a selfish person. When Main Character 1 confessed his love for her at the time after she confessed, Sayori felt joy but she didn't want to be a burden to Main Character 1. Main Character 2 wonders if she still loves him and while she does and has a crush on him, she just wants to be a brotherly-like figure to her best friend. While Sayori loved her best friend, she didn't want to become a burden to him or take away his relationships with the girls. She was emotionally trapped. Sayori told Main Character 2 that she ended her life on the Day of the Festival in Act I of *Doki Doki Literature Club!* since she no longer wanted to be a burden for Main Character 1. However, Monika's influence was also involved. Sayori explained the rest of the visual novel to Main Character 2.

Main Character 2 can also relate to Sayori. When the Belief Club turned into a Torture Club, he too tried ending his own life a few times by hanging or self-stabbing. While he has successfully done a few times, Kai undid his suicides by resurrecting him and punished him severely while keeping him alive. Sayori cried hearing Main Character 2's story. When Sayori asked how bad the torture sessions were, Main Character 2 explained in brutal detail, however...

Main Character 2 suddenly dropped mentally when he realized he and Sayori were walking in the same hallway where the Belief Club was located. PTSD was kicking in him. Sayori wants to know what's going on in there but Main Character 2 is very scared and he doesn't want her to but Sayori refused and left him. Main Character 2 was slowly becoming insane to his cap limit until Sayori returned.

Sayori returned and said it looked normal but boring. With most of its club members leaving, President Kai and Vice President Isshin look bored and depressed over there. However, these are only the Literature Club world's versions of them and they are fake in the Literature Club's world. Still, Main Character 2 doesn't want to be anywhere near here and he doesn't want Sayori to risk his life. He really loves Sayori at this point upon their first date and apologizes if he's ruining it with his depression. Sayori tells him she's fine and gives him advice that negative thoughts will only lead to depression; only think positively. But it's never that easy with depressed people and Main Character 2 wonders how Sayori and Erika do it. Sayori says that antidepressants may help too and if we've taken Yuri Normal Route in Chapter 5, she mentions Yuri has also recently suffered depression and was given the same medical treatment. Finally, Sayori tells Main Character 2 that another thing he needs is love and Sayori is willing to give him the love he deserves, which would benefit both her and Main Character 2. Main Character 2 thanks Sayori for his kindness and love. Sayori also says that everyone who has been tormented deserves love, including Erika and their friends, and Sayori hopes they find the love they need as Sayori decided to give all her love to Main Character 2. Main Character 2 nervously asks Sayori if she could be his girlfriend and she accepts but they both want to take their relationship slowly.

Natsuki and Main Character 1 Festival
Main Character 1 apologized to Natsuki about Monika's interruption and asked Natsuki what they should do next. Natsuki remembered seeing cardboard cut-outs and wants to get a picture of her and Main Character 1 among the superhero couples. Main Character 1 surprised, saying he thought Natsuki didn't want to do it, but many other people were around Natsuki didn't want to do it with many people in the way. Main Character 1 wants to know who will hold a camera and Natsuki finds a random male student and harshly asks him to take a photo of her and Main Character 1 at the superhero cardboard cut-outs.

After the guy takes a picture of Natsuki and Main Character 1, he returns Main Character 1's phone and leaves, feeling intimidated by Natsuki's behavior. Main Character 1 asks what Natsuki wants to do. Natsuki wanted to check out the parade but that's over by now so instead, Natsuki wants to do carnival games with Main Character 1 and if Main Character 1 wins her a pink teddy bear as a prize, she will "reward" him with something.

Yuri and Erika Festival
Erika is really ecstatic about the cultural festival. To her, it feels like it's been the best thing in a long time. Yuri asks her to calm down and behave. Yuri wonders if what Erika and Main Character 2 said are absolutely true and she confirmed it happened. Erika asks Yuri what happened to her in the Literature Club's game. Yuri felt too embarrassed to say. Then Erika asks Yuri what she does as Vice President of the Literature Club. Honestly, Yuri felt disappointed and saddened that she hasn't been able to do any kind of work or moderation as Vice President and bad things happened to her and Sayori when Sayori was also a vice president. Erika knows what Yuri means as she feels bad leaving Belief Club Vice President Isshin behind in the Belief Club's evil world. With each club being their own worlds, Erika calls herself a dimensional traveler.

Erika asks Yuri if she wants to eat at *Le Café du Club de Cuisine* but Yuri is not hungry and Yuri wouldn't be comfortable going in there with Erika when Erika is banned from that club. Yuri asks Erika what the Cooking Club's world was like and Erika said it was nothing special. Erika hasn't noticed anything weird in the world around her until some time after she joined the Belief Club.

Yuri asks Erika why she joined that club and Erika wanted to impress her religious parents. Even though they figured out each school club has their own world, they don't understand how reality actually works in their world and why it works the way it does. Erika talks about how trapped they were in the Belief Club. When Yuri asks for specifics on what the "Torture Club" did, Erika went into some brutal details which made Yuri nervous. Erika remembered Yuri said that President Kai recommended her a book called *Portrait of Markov*. Yuri responded that it's kind of similar to what Erika and the other's been through but in a religious camp where a girl is running away from people who escaped from it and Yuri wonders if there is some kind of connection between that novel and either Kai or Kai's world.

Carrying on, the girls decided to look at the parade before it's over...

Natsuki and Erika Festival
Erika is really ecstatic about the cultural festival. To her, it feels like it's been the best thing in a long time. However, Natsuki doesn't really like Erika's overzealous personality and she'll leave her if she doesn't behave. Erika apologizes and calls her "Miss Vice President" whether or not Natsuki is a temporarily vice president today. Natsuki wonders why bad things happen to vice presidents. Erika knows what Natsuki means as she feels bad leaving Belief Club Vice President Isshin behind in the Belief Club's evil world. With each club being their own worlds, Erika calls herself a dimensional traveler.

Erika asks Natsuki if she wants to eat at *Le Café du Club de Cuisine* but Natsuki already ate and Natsuki wouldn't be comfortable going in there with Erika when Erika is banned from that club. Natsuki asks Erika if the Cooking Club had a game but Erika doesn't think there was. Erika hasn't noticed anything weird in the world around her until some time after she joined the Belief Club.

Natsuki asks Erika why she joined that club and Erika wanted to impress her religious parents. Even though they figured out each school club has their own world, they don't understand how reality actually works in their world and why it works the way it does. Erika talks about how trapped they were in the Belief Club. Honestly, until Erika and Main Character 2 said anything about what they experienced, Natsuki didn't think anything beyond the Literature Club would have been worse. Erika wonders what exactly happened in the Literature Club, despite the explanation from Monika earlier. Natsuki will tell about *Doki Doki Literature Club!* but she wants Erika to keep it a secret and Natsuki believes Sayori will tell Main Character 2 the same story. Natsuki is still cold-hearted towards Monika to this day.

Natsuki then asks about Erika and why she's homosexual and Erika responded that she wasn't interested in a normal relationship. When Erika tried to propose Natsuki to be her girlfriend, Natsuki stopped her and told her she was always straight. However, Natsuki would figure her father wouldn't like her having a boyfriend so Natsuki may go bisexual and give it a shot. Erika was thrilled but Natsuki wants to take things slow in case if she's either comfortable or not comfortable being in this type of relationship. Erika once again asks her out to eat at the Cooking Club's café and Natsuki refused to be in a place with Erika where she was banned from. They find somewhere else to eat...

Yuri and Main Character 1 Festival - Relationship

Main Character 1 apologized to Yuri about Monika's interruption and asked Yuri they should do next. Yuri remembered seeing cardboard cut-outs and wants to get a picture of her and Main Character 1 among the knight and princess couple in front of a slain dragon. Main Character 1 surprised, saying he thought Yuri didn't want to do it it was too childish but Yuri wants to get a moment with him at the festival. Main Character 1 wants to know who will hold a camera and asks a random female student and asks her to take a photo of him and Yuri at the fantasy cardboard cut-outs. The girl found the two to be an adorable couple, which made Yuri flustered.

After the girl takes a picture of Yuri and Main Character 1, she returns Main Character 1's phone and leaves. The next thing Main Character 1 wants to do is win Yuri a prize at carnival games. Natsuki wanted to check out the parade but that's over by now so instead, Yuri wants to do carnival games with Main Character 1 and if Main Character 1 wants to win her something and Yuri while Yuri is happy, he doesn't want her boyfriend to spend all of his money on her...

Natsuki wanted to check out the parade but that's over by now so instead, Yuri wants to do carnival games with Main Character 1 and if Main Character 1 wants to win her something and Yuri while Yuri is happy, he doesn't want her boyfriend to spend all of his money on her...

Yuri and Main Character 1 Festival - No relationship
Main Character 1 wonders what he wants to do for the festival. The parade is almost over, carnival games are expensive, and he's not hungry. However, he forgot that Yuri was following and he apologized to Yuri for ignoring her. Yuri wondered if there was something Main Character 1 wants to do but he's unsure, feeling bored on a special day like this. Yuri suggested checking *The Wonders of Horror* Haunted House attraction with him but he doesn't feel like to. Yuri wondered if anything's bothering Main Character 1 and exaggerates, thinking if it has something to do with her. It's not that and Yuri wonders if Main Character 1 is not happy with the festival. Main Character 1 knows that he should get more joy out of the festival but he claims to be a boring guy and apologizes to Yuri for wasting her time. Yuri shoves that off, saying it's fine, and asks Main Character 1 about something else.

After seeing Sayori and Main Character 2 getting together already and Erika and Natsuki may be hooking up since Yuri still have her feelings towards Main Character 1, Yuri nervously confesses to Main Character 1. He knows that Yuri loves him but he's not interested in being in a relationship yet. He explains he loves everyone in the club but doesn't want to be in a relationship and feel dee[ grief and sorrow if anything were to happen to his beloved. Main Character 1 only did Sayori a favor. As for Natsuki and Erika, Main Character 1 is unsure if they will develop a relationship so he wants to hold off and consider Natsuki's feelings if Natsuki and Erika aren't going to be a thing. Yuri feels rejected and heartbroken but there's still hope. If Natsuki and Erika will be a thing, he'll consider Yuri's offer and if not, he could ask Sayori or Monika to clone himself to keep Yuri company. Yuri giggled.

Yuri asked Main Character 1 if they can continue walking around the festival as friends and Main Character 1 changed his mind about *The Wonders of Horror* and he wonders if that attraction is reopened...

End of the Festival
The cultural festival is ending and so far, nothing horrible has happened (at least, not yet..). While walking around the festival, Main Character 2 takes out a diary and wrote his experience about the cultural festival including his experience with Sayori like eating at the Cooking Club's café with her during lunch, the failed dance attempts they had on the Music Club's dance floor, and they visited the Art Club's *Art Fantastique*. Main Character 2 really enjoyed the art gallery, seeing mythological deities and creatures. His parents may be Buddhists but Main Character 2 is interested in many forms of religion, mythologies, and folklore. Main Character 2 wishes there was a Mythology Club and he would find that to be interesting. He would also be interested in being a Club President if it's true that being a Club President gives you powers, but he would be sad to leave Sayori's Literature Club world if that happens, plus, he wouldn't make a good leader, being a timid person who stutters while trying to speak. But if he did have those powers, he would use them for good just like Sayori and not evil like Kai. Main Character 2 really loves Sayori enough that he doesn't want to leave her; his angel.

Without realizing it, Sayori was reading Main Character 2's mind when he was writing in his diary and he became embarrassed. It was because we were viewing over Main Character 2. Sayori apologized to him for invading his privacy but she promises to keep it a secret. Main Character 2 wondered if Sayori knows if he wrote the last part and she responded that she loves him too, making him flattered. Sayori is glad the festival is making this boy better but the horrible memories will forever haunt him. Sayori wishes she could remove them but she doesn't have access to the Belief Club's files to do so, but she'll do whatever she can to make him happy. Main Character 2 thanked her. Sayori is glad she found someone like him because her helping this boy and giving him love is helping her cope with her own depression and it's helping him to cope too. Plus, Sayori can take advantage of the presidential curse, turning into a blessing.

With that presidential curse in mind, Main Character 2 wants to know if that's why the Literature Club's other club president did those bad things to the clubmates, which it did. What Monika did was wrong but knowing how Monika felt, Sayori is still willing to forgive Monika while the other club members are still skeptical about her. Sayori also did not like what Monika did to him and Erika but it was showing how much Monika did care about the club; how much Monika is trying to protect it. Main Character 2 wonders how many Club Presidents are corrupted. However, it's not all like that. As an example, Sayori says that while the Music Club's President Yumi acts as a boss battle in rhythm duels of her *Doki Doki Music Club!*, they are harmless. Main Character 2 was upset that the games the Belief and Literature Clubs experienced were horror games initially disguised as something else.

Upon returning to the clubroom, Sayori and Main Character 1 hear that everyone else has returned, making them the last ones to return to the clubroom. Erika greeted them, calling them "lovebirds". Main Character 2 flustered. Main Character 1 wondered if they were doing okay since they took a long time. Sayori didn't expect them to be last and she noticed that the decorations are down.

If Main Character 1 is dating Natsuki

Main Character 1 and Natsuki came back early and took down the decorations. Main Character 2 noticed someone was missing from the club and Yuri is still gone. Erika explains that Yuri had too much tea during the festival and she's been using the restroom a lot during the festival. Erika herself entered a chili dog-eating contest and won a ticket to Animecon after eating 40 chili dogs. However, the chili is really getting to Erika.
Erika continuously passed nasty farts in the literature clubroom, disturbing the clubmates. Natsuki orders Erika to stop and opens a window but Erika is feeling too much tension from her behind and is scared to move. After the sixth blow, Sayori had enough that she used her administrative abilities to clear and clean Erika's digestive system, relieving Erika. Natsuki was angry at Erika for her gas trip and if Natsuki was Club President, she would have banned Erika from the Literature Club.
If Main Character 1 is not dating Natsuki

Main Character 1 and Yuri came back early and took down the decorations. Main Character 2 noticed someone was missing from the club and Natsuki is still gone. Erika explains that Yuri had too much tea during the festival and she's been using the restroom a lot during the festival. Erika herself entered a chili dog-eating contest and won a ticket to Animecon after eating 40 chili dogs. However, the chili is really getting to Erika.
Erika continuously passed nasty farts in the literature clubroom, disturbing the clubmates. Yuri orders Erika to stop and opens a window but Erika is feeling too much tension from her behind and is scared to move. Yuri got worried awhile and gave Erika alternative suggestions like using a trash can and tissues but after the sixth blow, Sayori had enough that she used her administrative abilities to clear and clean Erika's digestive system, relieving Erika. Yuri warns Erika to exit the clubroom if she ever does that again.
After that fiasco, Main Character 1 wondered how Sayori and Main Character 2 have been. Sayori and Main Character 2 had fun at the festival. One of the things they did off-scene was trying to dance at the Music Club's dance floor, but they couldn't dance well, but they are dating now, which surprised Main Character 1 and made him happy that Sayori finally has someone for her and Main Character 1's festival partner congratulated them. Erika "ships" Sayori and Main Character 2. Main Character 2 is happy to be in the Literature Club and he thanks Erika for everything, including giving hope to all of their friends after their awful experience in the Belief Club. The club members were proud of Sayori's new relationship with the new playable character.

The festival is ending. Before they went home, Sayori tell Main Character 2 and Erika about the things they do in the Literature Club, gave them an assignment to write a poem that they'll share with the club tomorrow, and she reminded Erika to check on the missing girl before she leaves. Main Character 1 went home together with Sayori and a possible girlfriend if he has a girlfriend living with her and Main Character 2 heads home alone.

Intermission #2
At the end of the festival, we are viewing the progress of someone hacking into the Literature Club's world. The hacker successfully gained access to the Literature Club's database and has implanted something called DDViral Parasite in the bathroom where Natsuki or Yuri was in...

After the Festival
Main Character 2 wonders like it's like walking home with a friend but he always walked alone. But he was happy to make new friends and his first new girlfriend during the cultural festival, as well as having his curse mark removed. He wonders if the nightmare he had in the Belief Club was finally over. Upon walking to his front door, he got scared to open it, having a bad feeling he would be back in the Belief Club upon opening his door.

Main Character 2 opens his front door. His parents greeted him home and Main Character 2 was relieved his parents didn't turn into monsters and that he did not get warped back to the Belief Club's world. Main Character 2's mother was cooking dinner and Main Character 2 went to the restroom to get ready for dinner. While he was washing himself, he got anxious, looked at his mirror, and hallucinated his torture master in the mirror. PTSD was kicking in him but there was nothing to worry about.

Duing dinner, Main Character 2 didn't tell them anything about his horrible experience in the Belief Club, but he had told them his good experience at the cultural festival and his parents were surprised he met his very first girlfriend and were proud of him and they hope to see his new girlfriend some day.

After dinner, Main Character 2 went to his home and wondered if we were following him. He wondered what we think about his parents but they didn't have character sprites for us. We were going to mention Main Character 2 that someone has hacked in the Literature Club's world but our communication with him suddenly glitched out and was tampered. Main Character 2 remembers that he is assigned to write a poem and gets to work. Since our gameplay controls have suddenly tampered, the poem game failed to load and Main Character 2 wrote a poem on his own. After writing his poem, he checks his poem and wonders if everyone will like it. Later that night when Main Character 2 goes to bed, he wonders if we're still checking on him and told us "Good night". Unfortunately, our "Gold night" command doesn't work.
