09:00 · English classroom
In brief: Enter English during the activity window, let the scripted conversation clear, and speak with Miss Opaline to begin the thermometer route.
Start from the office computer. Read the complaint and schedule, then advance the clock to shortly before 09:00.
Enter the English classroom between 09:00 and 09:59. A scripted conversation begins with Miss Opaline speaking to Amber about the presentation.
After the room resets, speak with Miss Opaline to learn the thermometer objective. The Nurse’s Office map is useful for this route.
Nurse’s Office → English classroom
In brief: Retrieve the thermometer from the chest, return to Amber during the activity window, and begin the office/minigame handoff.
Go to the Nurse’s Office and retrieve the thermometer from the chest. A nurse conversation is not required for this step.
