@Suohsuibdk: I just finished the book and stayed at 298 group nerve. So I guess it's the maximum score you can achieve without diamonds. MC 81, Tom 62, Imogen 44, Parker 50, Danni 52. There is one choice in the middle of the book where you can either say that Chief Kelley's speech is fine or weird. If you say it's fine, Parker can have more than 50 in the end, but all the others lose nerve, more than he gains. It results in MC losing a finger because Tom is failing his nerve check. If you play without diamonds, that most likely means that one member of the group will die. However, if you say the speech is weird, Parker loses nerve but everyone else is able to pass their nerve checks and no one has to die.

Sadly, Parker didn't return and told MC not to contact him anymore which is sad since MC was romancing him. I am currently playing another game where the MC's love interest is dealing with severe PTSD and there MC is able to be there for him so I don't understand why that wasn't an option here. I would have liked to have an option to get him back and let MC help him get through everything... It really hurt to see MC having tears in the eye because of his decision :(
