Tears of Themis Episode 3 Walkthrough: Navigating the Weight of a Soul

In Episode 3 of Tears of Themis, titled The Weight of a Soul, our protagonist begins to piece together the intricate connections surrounding her. After meeting all four male leads, she becomes a member of the enigmatic NXX, a crime-fighting organization hinted at in the earlier chapters, revealing that her potential love interests are covertly affiliated with it.

Artem, initially introduced as one of the first characters the player encounters, comes into sharper focus during this episode. His role expands as he expresses a desire to partner with the protagonist at Themis Law Firm, making his involvement more significant.

This episode unfolds like a classic country house murder mystery. The plot centers around the suspicious death of a wealthy man from a drug overdose. As the investigation progresses, it becomes clear that several individuals connected to him—his rebellious son, a live-in mistress, and the disabled daughter’s nanny—each have motives to want him gone. Determining who administered the fatal drug serves as a key element in the heroine’s initiation into the NXX.
