In Life is Strange: Reunion, you must decide whether to tell Yasmin the truth or protect Safi’s secret, we’ll show you all consequences.
In Life is Strange: Reunion, you’ll eventually face a difficult situation that can affect your relationship with two key characters. Yasmin, Safi’s mother, approaches you directly and wants to know if you’ve seen her daughter. As is often the case in the Life is Strange series, there’s no clear right or wrong here, but the consequences differ significantly. In this guide, you’ll learn what happens with each option and what to expect moving forward.
- Note: This article contains spoilers and shows both of Yasmin’s reactions.
First clues about Safi during class
While Max is teaching her art class, she looks for a subject to photograph. Just a few meters away, an art student is sitting with a book, reminding you of Safi. After the class, you meet Yasmin, who is clearly worried about her daughter. She turns to Max, hoping to get useful information. You now have to decide whether to be honest or protect Safi’s secret. Both choices have noticeable effects on the conversation and your relationship with the characters involved.
Option 1: Admit you saw her
If you decide to tell Yasmin the truth and admit that you’ve seen Safi, Yasmin reacts with visible relief. She sincerely thanks you, as it lifts some of the weight off her shoulders. In return, Max asks Yasmin not to tell Safi that the information came from her.
At first, this seems like a good deal. However, you should be aware that you’re risking Safi’s trust. You didn’t keep her secret and essentially betrayed her to her mother. If Safi finds out, it could damage your relationship with her in the long run.
Option 2: Pretend you don’t know anything
If you choose to lie to Yasmin and pretend you don’t know anything about Safi’s whereabouts, the conversation plays out differently than you might expect. Yasmin isn’t easy to fool. She sees right through your lie and comments that artists are bad liars.
Still, she accepts your answer on the surface. However, she urges you to contact her if you hear anything about Safi. She also reminds you that you depend on her support to succeed at the university. This is no empty statement, but a subtle yet clear warning. Yasmin makes it clear that she has influence and isn’t afraid to use it.
What should you choose?
As with many choices in Life is Strange, the best option depends on which relationships matter more to you and how you want to shape Max’s moral compass. Here’s a quick overview of the consequences of both choices:
- Admitting the truth improves your relationship with Yasmin, but risks Safi’s trust
- Pretending not to know protects Safi’s secret, but weakens your standing with Yasmin, who sees through your lie and applies subtle pressure
