Keep the investigation ahead of the weather
Rescue deadlines take priority over ordinary activities. The weather forecast provides important clues, but keep a separate save and leave enough time for the dungeon rather than using every available day elsewhere.
Plan around the school calendar
School links become harder to advance during holidays and exam periods. Raise Knowledge before exams if you want strong results, and use the answer reference for the questions themselves. Evening activities can help you prepare Social Stat gates without using an after-school meeting.
Protect optional content
Marie’s Aeon link and Adachi’s Jester link have their own late-year deadlines. They are not interchangeable requirements: Marie’s link opens her additional Golden content, while Adachi’s later progression depends on the story branch. Keep separate saves before major December decisions.
