Bella — Complete Walkthrough

Overview

Bella is the Present's book-loving librarian. Her route starts with library donations, develops through three heart-to-hearts and dates, and continues into branching after-hours visits. She also participates in the main story and has an optional late-game family continuation. This guide explains the gates without recounting later story revelations.

Quick Stats

Attribute Value
Age 25
Era / alignment Present / Good
Location City Library, Uptown
Daytime presence Every day, 8 AM–6 PM
Evening presence Even-numbered game days, 7 PM–9 PM
Library opening hours 8 AM–10 PM
Favorite stats Intelligence 35, Creativity 30, Charm 50
Special relationship skill Storytelling
Favorite gift Book; used in her manuscript conversation and after-hours branch
Even days means the numbered game day, rather than particular weekdays. The library being open does not guarantee Bella is present. Her evening actions must also fit her NPC schedule.

Relationship Walkthrough

  1. Visit the library in the daytime and Donate to Library to move beyond Stranger. Talk is not available until Acknowledged.
  2. At Acknowledged, use Talk to Bella and the one-time Talk about Medieval Era heart-to-heart. Its three highest answers are listed below.
  3. At Known and Communication 24, complete Books vs Technology for Perception +1 and 8 direct affection.
  4. At Acquaintance, Give Chocolate once per day. Continue donations while still at Acquaintance or below; they end at Friend.
  5. At Friend, Give Flowers, go on the Zoo Date, and optionally use a Voucher for Win Her a Prize.
  6. At 160 affection, choose Invite to Woods for the six-round Whispering Woods heart-to-heart. Its gate is a point total rather than a named stage, and it does not require the earlier medieval conversation.
  7. At 300 affection, choose Give Ancient Manuscript. Bring one Book, which the action consumes. Complete the six-round conversation, including its optional kiss.
  8. At Close Friend, the Boardwalk Sunset Date is available after Diane builds the boardwalk, with paid and supporter/redeem-code access.
  9. At Crush, find Bella at the library 7 PM–9 PM on an even-numbered day, then select Find Bella after hours. See the branch guide below.
  10. At 700 affection, Private Library Moment unlocks during the same even-day 7 PM–9 PM presence window.
The three ordinary heart-to-hearts complete once. Their listed daily limits do not make completed conversations repeatable. Dates are also one-time. After-hours visits are repeatable, up to three per day, whenever you can meet the presence and resource requirements.

Actions, Costs and Actual Rewards

Action Requirement Cost Reward / limit
Donate to Library Stranger through Acquaintance 10 minutes, $10 1 base point; six per day; unavailable at Friend+

Win Her a Prize Friend; library, noon–6 PM; Bella not pregnant 120 minutes, 1 Voucher 5 base completion points plus choices; once

Private Library Moment 700 affection; evening presence 30 minutes, 20 energy 25 base affection and 25 NPC intimacy experience; once per day
Boardwalk start times: the action's configured window is 5 PM–8 PM. While Bella is present, use it 5 PM–6 PM every day, or 7 PM–8 PM on even-numbered days. Start it from her library menu.
The current menu does not offer an ordinary repeatable Give Book action. Her book calculator exists in the source, but books are actually offered through Give Ancient Manuscript and the after-hours Book choice. Talk's handler currently awards 1, despite a higher configured display value; Flowers awards vary by current stage.
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.

2 Some knowledge just feels... familiar, I suppose. 18
3 I'm glad to meet someone who shares this fascination. 20


Whispering Woods Adventure

Round Best ordinary choice Base points
1 Trust me, you'll love it. It's a place where stories come alive. 14
2 I hoped you would feel what I feel when I'm here. 14
3 Maybe they are dancing for us. Nature celebrates beautiful moments. 14

2 I brought something that might interest a true scholar like yourself. 14
3 I thought someone who truly appreciates ancient wisdom should have it. 14
4 You understand the value of knowledge in ways most people never will. 14
5 Kiss Bella 30
6 ... 0


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.
In Ancient Manuscript, the fifth-round kiss gives 30 base points and the final continuation records 5 kissing intimacy experience. Its Book is already consumed by the action, so that conversation does not need an additional gift purchase.
The tables above list ordinary answers. These special answers can improve the corresponding round:
Conversation / round Unlock Special answer Base points
Medieval Era, 1 Intelligence 25 “The philosophical works from monastery scriptoriums shaped entire civilizations.” 20
Woods, 1 Storytelling “I know you love stories where ordinary people discover extraordinary worlds. This is your chance to live one.” 20
Woods, 3 Empathy “I can see how much this means to you. Your joy makes this place even more special to me.” 20
Woods, 4 At least 500 caterpillars collected The Luna Moth identification answer 25
Woods, 4 Anthropology “In medieval folklore, moths were believed to carry messages between worlds.” 20
Woods, 5 No additional stat or skill configured “I've spent a lot of time observing nature's stories. Like the one we're writing together.” 25
Ancient Manuscript, 1 Storytelling “I thought about how you light up when discussing literature. I wanted to share that magic with you privately.” 20
Ancient Manuscript, 3 Intelligence 30 “It's from a monastery's scriptorium. The philosophical teachings inside shaped medieval thought for generations.” 20

Best Date Choices

Scene Highest base bonuses, in choice order
Zoo Date with Bella Sweet +4 → Sweet +5 → Flirty +5
Boardwalk Sunset with Bella Sweet +5 → Sweet/Flirty +5 → Flirty +5
Win Bella a Prize at the Fair Flirty +5 → Caring +5 → Funny/Flirty +4


For the Zoo, choose Sweet → Sweet → Flirty. For the Boardwalk, choose Sweet → Sweet or Flirty → Flirty. The Voucher fair outing is Flirty → Caring → Funny or Flirty. Completion rewards and these choice rewards are separate.

After-Hours Visit: Opening Paths

Begin Find Bella after hours from her library menu at Crush, 7 PM–9 PM on even-numbered days. The action's broader 7 PM–11 PM window does not extend her ordinary evening presence. Its cost is 180 minutes and 40 energy, with no configured entry gold charge.
Opening path Unlock What to choose next
Ordinary response No additional stat or skill “You know, being here with you feels like I've stepped into one of those stories myself.” gives 15 base points; an offered Flowers gift gives 50 and consumes one Flowers
“Tell me about your favorite books in this collection.” Charm 35 “Tell me about the scribes who created these manuscripts.” gives 15; alternatively give Flowers for 50
“You look beautiful surrounded by all these stories, Bella.” Intelligence 35 Ordinary compliment gives 10; Emotional Bonding, Intelligence 45 or a Book open additional paths below
“I didn't come here just to talk about books.” Intimate Communication Ordinary follow-up gives 10; Intelligence 50 opens the stronger seduction branch
The normal and library-discussion paths converge on a kiss choice. The highest answer there is “I've been wanting to do this since the moment you started talking about those ancient manuscripts.”, 15 base points. The following check uses existing affection plus points earned during the current visit against 600. Below that total, Bella asks to slow down and the visit ends; at 600 or more, the intimacy branch opens. Crush alone therefore does not guarantee that particular branch.

After-Hours Visit: Special Branches

Branch How to reach it Reward / continuation
Flowers Ordinary or Charm opening; carry Flowers Consumes 1 Flowers, adds 50 base points, then returns to the kiss path
Book Intelligence 35 opening; carry Book Consumes 1 Book, adds 40 base points; the following appreciative answer adds 15 and opens the position hub
Advanced literary connection Intelligence opening, Intelligence 45 Special compliment adds 25; the following mind-focused compliment adds 15 and opens the position hub
Emotional Bonding Intelligence opening, Emotional Bonding learned Special answer adds 40; choose one of two 20-point continuations, or use Intelligence 50's 50-point answer to reach the position hub
Strong seduction Intimate Communication opening, Intelligence 50 Special answer adds 20; ordinary continuation adds another 20 and reaches the position hub
Epic sequence Strong seduction branch; player Erotic Experience 1200 Special option adds 100 base points; follow the sequence to its ending, awarding 125 player Erotic Experience and 50 NPC intimacy experience
Sensual Mastery Intimacy branch after the 600-point check; Sensual Mastery learned A 30-point pleasure-focused choice opens an oral-to-intercourse continuation
Taking the lead Same intimacy branch; Creativity 35 15-point choice leads into the missionary branch through its affectionate continuation
Extended position sequence Missionary, cowgirl or doggie branch; Creativity 45 Continue instead of finishing; adds 15 base points and 21 player Erotic Experience before the later ending
Beast ending Reach the ordinary goodnight stage; player Beast 25 A 20-point special choice opens its extra sequence; ending awards 125 player Erotic Experience, Beast +1 and 50 NPC intimacy experience
At the position hub you can choose missionary, oral, cowgirl or doggie. The chosen continuation determines later point and experience rewards; it does not run every branch in a single visit. Ordinary intercourse endings award 42 player Erotic Experience and generally 25 NPC intimacy experience, with additional rewards on extended or special branches. The visit adds its accumulated choice points through the shared relationship calculation, plus 25 final affection if the player knows Romantic.
The simple private-library video action is separate from this conversation system; it uses its own 700-affection gate and 25 base affection award.

Main Story and Shared Scenes

Automatic scene Location Requirements Base reward
Story Beat 43 - The Blink Arcane Room Bella: Romantic+; Blinky: Romantic+; Story Beat 42 - The Talk completed; Never Been Kissed completed 15
Story Beat 60 - The Librarian's Message City Library (Uptown) Story Beat 59 - The Awakening completed 10
Story Beat 44 - A Better Story Ancient Earth Shrine (Altar Chamber) Story Beat 43 - The Blink completed; 3 PM–9 PM 10
Story Beat 45 - The Grand Tour Rose & Thorn Story Beat 44 - A Better Story completed; 8 AM–6 PM 15
Story Beat 46 - The Bigger Picture Sorceress Home Story Beat 45 - The Grand Tour completed 10


For Beat 43, both Bella and Blinky must be Romantic, Beat 42 must be complete, and Blinky's Never Been Kissed heart-to-heart must be complete. Start in the Rose & Thorn's Arcane Room. The listed subsequent beats each require their predecessor; this guide leaves their developments undisclosed. Bella's Beat 43 bonuses favor Funny → Caring or Flirty → Flirty for her three rewarded choices. Beats 44–46 favor Flirty at both choices, and Beat 60 favors Caring or Flirty at both.
The main story temporarily closes the library after Beat 43. Continue the story rather than waiting for ordinary opening hours: Beat 59 reopens it, allowing the library visit for Beat 60. This guide leaves the reason for that interruption undisclosed.
Shared scene Location and requirements Bella reward
Kindred Pages Library, 10 AM–5 PM; Friend with both Katie and Bella No separate fixed completion award; Kind or Funny gives 4 base points to each, Flirty gives 5 to each
Unexpected Shopping Encounter Mall Clothing Store; Close Friend with both Emily and Bella 5 base completion points to Bella and 5 to Emily
Shared scenes are location-triggered events and do not require finding Bella in her normal library menu first.

Optional Family Continuation

Bella's pregnancy branch is a deliberate after-hours conversation choice, separate from ordinary intimacy outcomes. To make it available, unlock and enable pregnancy content, complete Akira's Pregnancy Protocol, reach 2000 affection and 500 NPC intimacy experience with Bella, and finish Story Beat 60. She cannot already be pregnant, recovering from delivery, or have a child with the player.
At the opening of an eligible after-hours visit, select “Tell Bella you want to write a new chapter together: a family.” Follow that dedicated sequence to completion. Ordinary intimacy choices do not substitute for it.
Once started, return to the library while Bella is present for its three automatic milestones:
Milestone Availability Base affection
A New Chapter Reveal event when pregnancy enters the early stage, from age 11 days 5
Room to Become Final-stage visit, at age 31 days or later and at least the day after the reveal 7
Something True Delivery event after 30 days in the final stage and at least the day after the final visit 10
The minimum progression is 61 days, but delaying required visits delays later stages. Recovery lasts 8 days. During visible pregnancy, the normal Woods, Zoo, Boardwalk, medieval/manuscript conversations, private video and after-hours visit are blocked; ordinary conversation, Chocolate, Flowers and the stat reward remain pregnancy-safe. The Voucher date is blocked for the whole pregnancy. Complete desired ordinary outings first if you want to see them before this continuation.
Check In takes 30 minutes, grants 5 direct affection and is available once per day during pregnancy and recovery. It becomes Family Check In after recovery. An eligible pending lifecycle scene can launch during the check-in; the required milestones still need completion.

Christmas Activities

  • Read with Bella is a one-time library location action, requiring Christmas content enabled and Friend with Bella. It takes 20 minutes, grants 10 direct affection and one Christmas Token, and consumes no Christmas Gift.
  • Give Christmas Gift requires Christmas content enabled, Close Friend, one Christmas Gift and Bella present at the library. It takes 30 minutes, consumes the Gift and grants 100 direct affection, once. Its scene uses three images. This is separate from Read with Bella.

If Progress Stalls

  • Donate until Acknowledged; Talk does not begin at Stranger.
  • Donations stop at Friend. Chocolate and Flowers are the later repeatable gifts.
  • The Woods gate is 160 affection and the manuscript gate is 300; a named stage alone is not their exact requirement.
  • Bella is present 8 AM–6 PM daily, with 7 PM–9 PM only on even-numbered days. After-hours actions use that actual evening presence.
  • The kiss-path intimacy check uses existing affection plus this visit's earned points against 600. It is a separate gate from entering at Crush.
  • The video action needs 700 affection. Storytelling is her relationship bonus skill; it does not remove action prerequisites.
  • The Boardwalk needs its construction flag and both paid and supporter access. The Zoo and Voucher outings have their own windows.
  • Beat 43 needs Romantic with both Bella and Blinky and Blinky's specified H2H.
  • If the library closes during the main story, continue through Beat 59; the closure is a story gate, not a missed daytime schedule.
  • For the family branch, check 2000 affection, 500 NPC intimacy experience, Beat 60, Akira's protocol, pregnancy unlock and the enabled option. Player Erotic Experience is not a replacement for NPC intimacy experience.
