Where the romance starts
Rudy's first step is in Season 1, Episode 1 — "Chat with Rudy a bit more" for 33 diamonds — and it's the cheapest thing on the route, so consider it a trial run rather than a commitment. The romance stays in Season 1 only and runs across 6 steps, so the window to decide is short.
Where diamonds decide it
The route's weight is uneven. The two most expensive steps are Season 1, Episode 10 ("I'll wake him up", 77) and Season 1, Episode 14 ("Trust him", 73) — that's 150 diamonds for two scenes. Everything else sits between 30 and 48. If you're not sure about Rudy, skip the big two first and see how the smaller steps play.
Can you do it for free?
No. 0 of 6 steps are free, and the whole route is 308 diamonds. Dex and Darren also have routes in the story, so if you're splitting a diamond budget between favorites, Rudy is the one that demands a full spend. Decide early in Season 1 — the steps come fast.
