Where the romance starts
Very late. Both steps sit in Season 3 — Episode 6 opens it with "What is it you want?", and Episode 8 closes it with "Gladly accept his invitation." If you've been flirting with Xander, Max, Zane or Chancellor earlier in the run, keep that in mind: Octavian's content only shows up near the end.
Why the price is so lopsided
The whole route is 177 diamonds, and 147 of them — 83% — go to a single choice in Season 3, Episode 6. The second step costs just 30. So it's not a slow trickle of expenses; it's one big decision followed by a cheap footnote. If you're on the fence, the question isn't whether you can afford the route, it's whether you can afford that one scene.
Can you do it for free?
No. 0 of 2 steps are free, so there's no free entry point and no way to sample the route before paying. Budget the full 177 or skip it entirely — half-measures don't exist here.
