What does Adchase's "answer" answer? Surely not what I've asked after supplying my information. I'll go through this again: I've talked to M. I've completed the Spooky Tale, and explored the woods with her, where we found her pendant. All she wants to do, still, is explore (if I talk to her in the morning), have me help with the chickens (midday), or mess around in the bath (evening). What triggers her telling me to look around the house/be able to interact with the diary? Nothing in the attic is accessible right now when I go up there.
Please read my responses IN FULL before responding. Thanks all.
