Introduction
This felt like it would take a bit too much space to have in details for the Achievement guide, but here’s a step by step guide to get one of the harder achievements of the game. This is not the only way to get the achievement, but it’s guaranteed to work.

There are more conversations with Vonne than the ones listed, but they shouldn't be relevant to the achievement, so you can play them out as you like.

Since you’re going to lose at least two minions, you may as well try for the Minimalism achievement too. This means you should start the game with either Althea or Thaïs as the traitor. Once you’ve completed the game, you can start a new game where you choose the traitor from the onset. I suggest you pick Althea.

Until October 24th, you should raise Vonne and Thaïs’ loyalty to the maximum of 45. Your extra loyalty points should be given to Rowan, since you’ll have to rely on her for a while. Invest your skill points in getting Rowan’s Stealth and Observation high, and raise Thaïs’ Charm and Intimidation.

If you don't care about the Minimalism achievement right now, you can just follow the dialogue choice guide, choose whichever traitor suits you best, and raise whatever stats you prefer. You should know that if Mallory is kicked out, Vonne will take over her Social stat, and if Rowan is kicked out, Vonne will take over her Observation and Stealth stats, so plan accordingly.

October
On October 24th, finger the traitor, Althea, and choose Vonne for your Queen.

November
November 5th, go to the carnival with Vonne. When the choice comes up, say:
“The teachers forced me to”
“They thought you were ‘too attached’”

November 11th, say:
“We need to talk”
“I wanted to apologise to you”
“I should have told you how I felt”
“I like you”

November 12th, say:
“What’s the Silver Cat?”
“I’m not interested”
“You’re overreacting”
“You should have asked first”
“Shall we kiss and make up?”

November 14th, say:
“Your heart belonged to me”
“Do you want to?”
“(Kiss her)”
December
December 6th, say:
“Am I interrupting?”
“What was that all about?”
“It sounded like more than that”
“Is that all?”
January
January 6th, say:
“What sort of game?”
“I don’t know about this”
“If you trusted me, you would tell me”
“All right”

January 9th, say:
“We’ll keep our games private”

January 16th, say:
“What do you want me to say?”
“I want to keep this secret”
“The others might be jealous”
“Secret meetings are romantic”
February
February 12th, say:
“(Pull away)”

On February 17th, you get the achievement, The Yandere Principle.

Now, if you can finish the game and defeat the final boss with just Vonne and Thaïs, you will also get the Minimalism achievement. Nobody said it would be easy though.

Just imagine that all puns are intended.

Just throwing out there, but saying "On October 24th, finger the traitor, Althea" has different meaning if you have been through Althea's storyline...

Thankfully, there isn't one "correct" way to play the game. I have beaten the boss with solo Vonne (after Althea bowed out due to low loyalty) 41/37/61/61 and 5 +15 items, so 70-80 in all stats is overkill. Loaded dice of course.

The reason I suggest pumping the points into Mallory is that you've only got so many points. Even succeeding at 90% of cases (cause I'm pretty sure it counts as a fail when you have to expel someone for drug dealing, gambling, whatever), you'll only be able to get each of the four stats to about 70-80 on one girl, and that's if you focus on someone who already starts with a 40 in that stat. But to each their own. That loss of points can be countered with a second +15 social item, or by using Vonne to block social stuff until Thai's can beat it with her formidable intimidation.

I added an extra paragraph to the introduction covering your requests. Thanks for helping improve the guide!

Sure, I can mention that stats carry over. I disagree on raising Mallory's stats though; if going for the two minion achievement, it's much better to raise Thaïs' Social stat. Vonne is fine with her starting Social, and you'll have two minions that are good for questioning during that last month and a half.

With Vonne becoming a Rowan replacement and Thaïs being a social, harassing powerhouse, you're pretty well covered to survive. If you put everything but Intimidation on Vonne, it will be harder to keep up with the case load.

Well the stats thing could be mentioned somewhat above. You mention spending points in raising Th'ais' social skill as well as her intimidation, but it'd be better to raise Mallory's social so that Vonne gets it in the end.

Yes, of course you can, I was mixing this with the "Minimalism - Win with two minions" achievement, which can only be done in two specific ways - Althea or Thaïs as traitor.

I didn't cover the stats thing here, but mentioned it in my general achievement guide, I think. Just trying to keep it spoiler light and to the point.

Ok, confirmed, you can do this with the other girls as the mole, but with Rowan you have to reveal her as the traitor, so you won't get her benefits, but you can keep Mallory around if she's the mole, so that works out fine still.

Ok, been playing around with it some, and found some fun things you haven't mentioned here.

First off, this can be done even if Vonne is the traitor. I'm sure it could be done with Mallory or Rowan as the mole too, but that kind of negates the next fun bit. In fact, I'm gonna try that next.

Second fun bit, Vonne gains Social and Observation/Stealth equal to what Mallory and Rowan have at present when they've been removed. This means that you can buff up Rowan's observation/stealth and Mallory's social and not have those points go to waste come February. I ended up with 60 social, 80 observation, and 70 stealth on Vonne on my most current run.
