Thanks for letting me know how you thought of the story! I'm glad you've enjoyed it. I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with depression though. That's rough :/ I hope things go better for you soon.
In regards to routes, there are 7, though two of them haven't been started yet. If you accept Caijoru's offer in the dream, it splits off into two routes from there. One for Ted and one for Daren. If you keep rejecting his offer then it will split off into 5 routes. Ted, Daren, Marshall, Tracy, and Sean.
