Hi everyone!

I'm playing Rule of Rose right now, and enjoying it a lot. I'm currently on the first part of chapter 9, "The Funeral", when you go around talking to the kids and everybody ignores you. On my first playthrough of this part I saw Clara, who I identified as the mermaid girl from that other chapter. But then I decided to redo the chapter because I read that if you didn't pick up the revolver and kill a certain monster with it you couldn't see the good ending. So, long story short, I loaded the game from a previous save, got the gun, and started playing chapter 9 from the beginning. But... this time I haven't seen Clara. She's not on the Sick Bay as she was before, and it's already time for me to go to the hall. Have I done something wrong? Does the game change if you don't see Clara at this point?

Thanks in advance.

Ah, it seems like I was wrong about many things then! Thank you so much. Oh well, at least I got a lot of healing items when I replayed the end of chapter 8, exchanging marbles and the such.

And yes, I did look when Mr. Hoffman calls her in. Creepy guy...

Thanks again!
