You'll face tough choices balancing family, friends, and hero duty—every path disrupts relationships or leaves the city vulnerable. The quest is a branching narrative with multiple endings: success means Nova Pulse openly combines her heroic efforts with her community involvement, earning authentic respect and new confidence.
