"Anyone Can Sleep, But Not Laugh" Walkthrough
By Ichiban
This is a guide that distinguishes the necessary decisions in Witch on the Holy Night's whodunit chapter for 100% completion. It's worth mentioning that, while the chapter itself is not straightforward, you should give it a whirl unaided for the best experience. Messiaen curry's on me if you can figure it out on your own!

The Good Ending
-Decision A-
Might be an ill omen.

-Decision B-
I'll do something random.

-Decision C-
Curious. I should check it out.

-Decision D-
The rain's going to get worse.

-Decision E-
The numbers are off.

-Decision F-
Something crazy's about to go down.

-Decision G-
It was some kind of bread.

-Decision H-
I think we should focus on Tokitsu's death.

-Decision I-
Aozaki's story doesn't add up.

-Decision J-
Shizuki's story doesn't add up.

-Decision K-
Ritsuka's story doesn't add up.

-Decision L-
We should check Riddell's alibi.

-Decision M-
I'll go peek in the hallway.

-Decision N-
Sounds dangerous.

-Decision O-
We should focus on how the phone line was cut.

-Decision P-
It's best to wait for all three to return.

-Decision Q-
Come to think of it, Beo...

-Decision R-
I'm not sure about that.

-Decision S-
Between 2:00PM and 4:00PM?

-Decision T-
A-As long as I lock the door... but I won't be able to sleep!

-Decision U-
Should try to guess who the killer is.

-Decision V-
From the cast, choose Soujuurou Shizuki (the third sprite from the left).

-Decision W-
Are there two types of murders?

-Decision X-
Who could activate a Ploy?

-Decision Y-
From the cast, choose Kojika Kumari (the seventh sprite from the left).

-Decision Z-
I'm sure now—because everything happened the way I decided it should.
The Dead Ends
Place bookmarks before making each decision so you can search for them upon seeing an ending. The dead ends are also required for the "Legendary Detective Kumari" achievement, despite its description. Holding CTRL will fast-forward text, F5 will skip to the next scene. Additionally, enabling read text as highlighted can assist in marking what has and hasn't been seen.

-Decision D-
I should just go home.

-Decision L-
We should each stay in our rooms until morning.

-Decision N-
I agree.

-Decision P-
It's dangerous for Aozaki to go alone.

-Decision R-
I can rest easy now.

-Decision T-
No helping it, then.

The Bad Ends
-Decision U-
Should keep running until morning.

-Decision V-
Choose the incorrect culprit or have too few clues.

-Decisions W-Z-
Choose the correct culprit but incorrectly choose any later decision.

It happens! There are plenty more extras, too. The Wonderful World of Ploys is *required* reading if ya ask me.

I played through the entire story on Switch without realising there was an extra chapter :|

Mahoyo's primary narrative is told as a kinetic novel, a sub-genre of visual novels wherein there are no decisions or alternative routes. This guide is for an extra chapter, "Anyone Can Sleep, But Not Laugh", that closely aligns with your run-of-the-mill visual novel, featuring interactivity and multiple endings. You can access all extra chapters from the Archive under Extras!

I have finished 12th chapter and I dont see any form of "decision". How?

Awesome!
Thank you and Blondie for the contributions! You guys rock.

Yup, just as a confirmation - went through all remaining "dead ends" and got the achievement! Thanks for the guide!
Btw, you can use ctrl to speed up text and f5 to fast forward till the enxt scene. Might be useful for someone who didn't make enough saves.

Got all bad ends and dead ends, which netted me the achievement. Thank you!

Ah, yeah, you may need the dead ends also. I'll mention it in the guide.
I suppose they're technically bad endings; perhaps not so much "endings" as they are forced resets? I'm not so sure. The game differentiates the two for whatever reason. Semantics, semantics!

Hm, is the achievement description correct? Because I'm pretty sure I've seen all bad endings listed here and I didn't get it/ Do I need to view all dead ends as well?
