Leave Ren behind after getting the key and also side with Jonas in the Comm Tower fight. At the beginning of the game, play along with Clarissa’s Truth or Slap game and embarrass Ren by calling him out on liking Nona (this leads to the slap achievement, too). Opt to save Clarissa first instead of him, when you have to choose which one to go to first after being separated. Mess Up Your Friendship With Ren – It’s possible to ruin these two best friends by making some choices that would screw Ren over. Then, make every effort to be supportive of their relationship. Michael and Clarissa Keep Dating – First off, don’t erase Clarissa from existence when the ghosts want to make a deal with you. Make sure you don’t give him your blessing to even elope with Clarissa and hightail it to New York without going to college. Save Michael – When it comes to keeping Michael from drowning in the first place, speak your mind when he asks what you think he should do for college. It seems like mentioning there that Ren cared about her and hoped she liked him back does the ultimate trick for this ending. I didn’t actually push it at all until the time loop where Nona is devastated over Ren’s supposed death and admits she had feelings for him. There will be a lot of instances where Nona can be spoken to and you can wing man for Ren. Ren and Nona Start Dating – This is as easy as hinting to Nona that Ren likes her. Whether he ends up your new stepbrother or just a friend, you’ll be on good terms. For an added bonus, help him talk to his mom at the end. Like when he asks you if you think he’s stupid, tell him he’s smart.

And choose the kindest options when you’re talking to him. Don’t blame him for any of the crazy stuff that’s happening, either.

Choosing to stay neutral during their big argument in the Comm Tower is a safe bet, as you won’t piss off either one of them. Be on Jonas’ Good Side – Have him accompany you a lot and don’t side with Ren when they fight.
