Ashriel's route is mostly about how you handle conflict in your direction. In Season 1, Episode 1, the free-form approach is set by a choice that doesn't cost anything if you approach it a certain way, but the game immediately offers expensive alternatives. The options in Season 1, Episode 2 range from free to 44 diamonds, so you can build the route from the start without spending a single diamond, but the price per step is high.
How many diamonds does Ashriel's route cost?
745 diamonds for 26 steps. That is the whole route across Season 1. There is no second season yet, so the price refers to a single list of episodes. The most expensive step is in Season 1, Episode 10 — 77 diamonds. The second most expensive is in Season 1, Episode 4 — 71. Diamonds on this route are paid not for tenderness but for the right to be heard:
