Question Panels
When Kyle hears something that sparks his curiosity,
he’ll store a question about it in his mind. These questions are divided into three different categories, and he can ask them whenever there is a break in the conversation. The three question types are shown below.
Questions that can be satisfied by talking with one person. If you miss the chance to ask one of these questions, you may remember it later. In this case, the icon will be grey.
Questions that require talking to more than one person, or questions that you don’t know whom to ask.
Questions necessary to solve a specific problem.
