Verdict: top price, but only just
Declan costs 384 diamonds, a little more than Fabian at 362 and well above Xavier at 219. He has the most steps in Waterlily, 15, and 6 of them are free. Nothing costs more than 68, so it's a route of medium bills.
Where the diamonds go
The route starts in Episode 1, Annabel Lee: two free steps and "Oh, so you do care about me." for 33. Then:
- Episode 3, The Raven: "Let him walk you to your room." — 30.
- Episode 6, Fire and Ice: "Step between them and taunt the biker." for 47 and "Grab his arm and thank him." for 27, with a free step between them.
- Episode 10: "Pretend you're his girlfriend." — 50, after two free steps.
- Episode 11: "It shouldn't bother me." — 51.
- Episode 12, The Listeners: one choice for 48.
- Episode 13: "Remember the night you wrote about Declan." — 68.
How I'd play it
I'd pay as I go: the priciest episode is Episode 6 at 74. If you're torn between him and the others, Episode 13 has the same 68-diamond choice for each of them, and Episodes 8 and 11 are shared with Xavier. The story is still coming out. Compare with Fabian and Xavier.
