07: The Park
Character: Nathan Mars
The scene fades and we find ourselves on a park bench with Shaun - who is very bummed out. If you failed to have him do his homework, he will tell you that he got punished by his teacher. After you exhaust the dialogue options with Shaun stand up and take the boomerang out of his book bag... Shaun says he cannot get it to come back to him when he throws it - so here is a perfect chance for us to demonstrate our manly abo hunting skills!
To throw the boomerang simply hold R1 and then R2 and jerk down on the controller; to catch it, hit X when you are prompted. Do that a couple of times and Shaun will become happier! Now help him do it and hey, you have to admit he is a lot more fun to be around when he is not so depressed!
You now need to choose another activity to do with Shaun - check your thoughts and you will see that the options are the see-saw, the merry-go-round, or the swing set. I chose the see-saw first since it is nearby... Next I chose the merry-go-round and Shaun seemed to like that just fine. After the ride he gives you a hug, and Shaun tells you that his head is spinning.
Nearby the merry-go-round is a small stand selling candy - walk over to it and purchase some candy for Shaun - you end up picking the wrong flavor - or I did anyway - but Shaun was polite about it. You notice it is about to rain and suggest that it is time to go home, and Shaun heads back towards the bench that we were originally sitting on.
As he is putting on his backpack he tells you about what he has really been feeling - and then Shaun leads you towards the exit - or actually towards the carousel - and he begs you for a ride on it. You agree and buy him the ticket, and then just after the ride starts you have another blackout episode.
During the transition to the next chapter as long as you bought the candy you will unlock the trophy "Good Friends" (bronze). Good on ya!
