Which photos should I choose?
You need one photo for each of the three tribute questions. Each question describes a different relationship role, so the photo that fits one question does not automatically fit another.
Important
These are three different relationship roles. Do not choose the person who simply matters most to Liz for all three.
Common mistake: Treating all three questions as “which person matters most to Liz?” They describe three different relationships.
Choose the three tributes
Answer each question with one of Liz's photos.
0 of 3 chosen
01 · Trusted Bond
Whose bond do you trust the most?
02 · Unrequited Desire
Who is your unrequited desire?
03 · Controller of Fate
Who is the sole controller of your fate?

Tribute choices not working?
- 01
You treated all three questions as the same relationship
They are asking about different roles. A photo that fits trusted bond does not automatically fit the other two.
- 02
Trusted Bond is not asking for romance
The first question is about trust and closeness, not a crush.
- 03
Unrequited Desire is a different relationship
Do not reuse the same reasoning you used for trusted bond here.
- 04
Controller of Fate is about agency, not importance
It is not simply “the most important person.” Think about who is in control.
- 05
You haven't finished the Fountain
Complete the previous progression step first — the fountain route comes before this room.
