Overview

Arnold, designated A.R.N.O.L.D. — Autonomous Residential Networked Operations & Lifestyle Domestic, is a prototype service android at Evangeline's downtown mansion. He handles household and concierge duties. His current content is an introduction, repeatable conversation, a five-round household-risk heart-to-heart and supporting appearances in the investment/household route.

Meeting Arnold

Enter the downtown mansion foyer to trigger Meeting Arnold once. Afterward, Talk takes 15 minutes and gives 1 base affection, with 90 uses per day and no affection-stage prerequisite. The very high daily allowance is a limit, not a requirement to use all ninety conversations.
Listed relationship rewards are base values. Favorite stats add bonuses when their thresholds are met, and the special relationship skill doubles the adjusted base before the shared random roll. Equipment, buffs and alignment can further change the final reward. Raising affection does not replace quest flags or earlier heart-to-hearts.

Household Risk Walkthrough

Arnold's heart-to-heart depends on the Miki/Maggie investment route, rather than affection alone. Follow these requirements in order:
  1. Complete Story Beat 55, then visit Miki's Bedroom, 8–11 PM, for Some Guy With Miki.
  2. Visit the Office Building's Offices, 9 AM–5 PM, for The Wrong Office.
  3. Complete Maggie's Acumen, then visit the Investment room, 1–5 PM, for The Eye for Acquisition.
  4. Own at least one company and return to the Investment room, 9 AM–5 PM, for His Name on the Door.
  5. At Friend with Miki, own five companies and complete her Terms of Ownership H2H in her bedroom 8–11 PM. This Miki conversation needs the paid version, costs 75 minutes and 20 energy, and is one-time.
  6. Own ten companies, then visit Downtown Park, 2–5 PM, for Ten Little Kingdoms. Visit the mansion foyer, 8–11 PM, for Projected Household Growth.
  7. Own 25 companies and visit the Boardroom, 9 AM–3 PM, for Still Not an Appointment, followed by the Investment room, 1–5 PM, for Hostile Mentorship.
  8. Reach Known with Arnold. In the mansion foyer between 8 PM and midnight, select Household Risk. It takes 75 minutes, has no configured money, energy or calm charge, and completes once.
  9. With that H2H complete and 40 companies owned, visit the Boardroom, 9 AM–3 PM, for On the Radar. The household route then continues through Miki and Evangeline.
The listed investment scenes are unavailable after Controlling Interest completes. This is a route-state restriction, not a reason to grind more affection with Arnold. The later story-dependent recovery is outside the currently released story and is not part of this walkthrough.

Arnold's Actions

Action Start location Requirements Cost Reward Availability
Talk Mansion Foyer (Downtown) No affection prerequisite 15 minutes 1 base points 90/day
Household Risk Mansion Foyer (Downtown) Known+; Hostile Mentorship completed; 8 PM–midnight 75 minutes Scene/choice reward Once


Household Risk Choices

These responses maximize the conversation's base points. This is a household-trust conversation; Arnold does not have a personal dating route.

Household Risk

Round Highest base-point choice Base points
1 Tell me what the family needs from me. 13
2 Protect her even if she is angry with both of us. 15
3 I will not treat her trust as disposable. 16
4 If they collide, protect Miki before you protect me. 18
5 Keep serving them. I will try to deserve access to the household. 19


Heart-to-heart choice points accumulate and use the shared relationship calculation at completion. The listed points are base values, not guaranteed final affection gains.

Scenes That Also Reward Arnold

These scenes provide additional affection while following the household and investment routes. All are one-time. Their prerequisites do not mean Arnold must be present at his normal foyer location throughout the scene.
Automatic scene Location Requirements Base reward
Meeting Arnold Mansion Foyer (Downtown) No additional prerequisite 0
Some Guy With Miki Miki's Bedroom Story Beat 55 - The Counter-Offer completed; Controlling Interest not completed; 8 PM–11 PM 2
His Name on the Door Investment Planning The Eye for Acquisition completed; Controlling Interest not completed; Own at least 1 company; 9 AM–5 PM 3
Projected Household Growth Mansion Foyer (Downtown) Ten Little Kingdoms completed; Controlling Interest not completed; 8 PM–11 PM 8
Hostile Mentorship Investment Planning Still Not an Appointment completed; Controlling Interest not completed; 1 PM–5 PM 5
Family Business Dining Room The Price of Attention completed; Not a Plus-One completed; Controlling Interest not completed; 8 PM–11 PM 8
On the Radar Boardroom Hostile Mentorship completed; Household Risk completed; Controlling Interest not completed; Own at least 40 companies; 9 AM–3 PM 4
My Monkey's Skyline Miki's Bedroom On the Radar completed; Controlling Interest not completed; 8 PM–11 PM 4


Family Business additionally needs Evangeline's The Price of Attention and Not a Plus-One H2H; it is a later part of her household route. The figures in the table are base scene rewards.

Mansion Access

Miki's Bedroom normally appears as a foyer travel action. If its route state withdraws access, the replacement Ask Arnold About Miki action explains the restriction and has no configured time cost. It does not restore access through repeated use or relationship points. Arnold's ordinary Talk and already-earned relationship history remain separate from that travel restriction.

If Progress Stalls

  • Household Risk needs Known with Arnold and completed Hostile Mentorship, and starts only 8 PM–midnight.
  • Company ownership thresholds are 1, 5, 10, 25 and 40 at different points. A high company count does not replace earlier scenes and Miki's H2H.
  • The required Miki H2H needs Friend and paid access, so Arnold's route can indirectly depend on that access even though his own H2H has no paid flag.
  • After Controlling Interest, the blocked household scenes and Miki-room access cannot be reopened by more Talk actions in the current release.
  • Arnold offers no authored skill lesson despite having Master Engineer as his relationship bonus skill.
