After Leonica, burning the notes and letting Anca continue both preserve Between the Words and her romance chain. The reported difference is the convent outcome.
Which prompt decides the branch?
PC Gamer distinguishes the first protest from the later decision about the notes. Make a save after the boss, before that final choice.
Compare the reported outcomes
| Choice | Convent result in PC Gamer's walkthrough | Anca's quest chain |
|---|---|---|
| Let Anca try the cure | She frees the cursed nuns and mentions further pacts | Continues |
| Burn the notes | The nuns remain cursed; she makes no additional pact here | Continues |
What stays available?
The walkthrough says Between the Words still follows either decision and neither blocks continuing Anca's romance. This concerns the documented quest branch, not a claim about every ending or current-patch epilogue.
How should you choose?
Choose the attempted cure for the reported convent result; burn the notes if Coen rejects continuing the ritual. The evidence reviewed here does not establish an exact universal time charge or every later scene. Read the displayed cost before committing.
For the narrower decision, see burning or giving the notes.
