Pilate: how to romance them in Where Love Burns Eternal

Verdict: three choices, all paid, one over 100

Pilate costs 214 diamonds, second in Where Love Burns Eternal after Matteo at 261. His route has just 3 steps, and none of them are free. The last one is the big one: 103 diamonds, almost half the route.

Every step

• Episode 7, True Motive: "I'll listen to you carefully." — 34. The route starts here.
• Episode 10, Doors Open: "Excellent. I wanted the same." — 77.
• Episode 12, Wish Granted: "Let me pour you some. Drink with me." — 103.

Before Episode 7, there's nothing for Pilate, so you can play the first six episodes for anyone.

How I'd play it

With every step paid, I'd pay the 34 and keep Episodes 10 and 12 on separate save slots for Diamond Rush: that's 180 of the 214 diamonds. Skipping a step here means skipping his scene, since there's no free option to fall back on. If you want a cheaper path, Eido costs 79 and has two free steps.
