Thank you so much, Ms. Augusta. I feel much more confidant saying no to their faces now, rather than hiding from the storylet.

All of them except the Duchess. I consider cats the rightful rulers of Parabola, so they need to be informed about the events.
There’s no benefit from not choosing to keep/reveal the confessions. This is the point where you cash them in, and if you don’t, the confessions will iirc get removed when the holiday ends.
I gave away almost everyone’s confessions, because might makes right. I also protected the Campaigner’s for the same reason, and Molly’s because she brought me presents on Neathmas. Which is more than I can say any of the others did for me.
I’ve never cared for the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner, despite her relation to Chuffy, so that was an easy choice. Done and dusted.
I knew that the rewards for Clathermont would be backwards–in the Great Game, a secret kept should give you more Moves than one revealed, obviously–but I kept it just the same because it should have been the best option.
I don’t know the Assured Filmmaker and the aggrieved party deserved the knowledge she sought, so she received it. Besides, a little scandal will be good for the Bohemian AF. If she can’t milk the story of her lead’s angry fiancee for a month’s worth of free drinks at the Singing Mandrake, she has no business being there.
The Sardonic Music-Hall Singer, on the other hand, has always been a good friend to me and is generous with the contents of her cellar when I’m feeling under the weather, so her secrets are safe with me.
I’ll be spending far more time with my new owl… err… cat than the Duchess, and I’m sure the Duchess will forget my name as soon as she finds that she owes me a Favor, so of course I shared what I knew with my extravagantly titled kitty. We’re going to be very good friends, we are.
Finally, I kept the Colonel’s secret on a whim of my own. She’s harming no one, and she’s never put her shoes on my sofa, which is more than I can say for random nameless littluns who accost me in the street demanding secrets… best they not get too familiar.
The Filmmaker, The Duchess, The Urchin.
I also would have protected the Singer’s, if I had had it to give away. She’s one of the good ones around here.

You could make a case for hoping the Duchess reunite with her sister by exposing the secret, even!
In my case, I kept it because I want to prove to the Matriarch that she is still a big fat rat that is bad at secrets despite the title upgrade :P
I protected the DTC, bless her soul. The detective’s goals are noble but I always found some of her methods or attitude questionable.
I protected Clathermont, because the poor guy deserves a break. What with his wife and all, it really sounds to me like he’s not particularly happy with his lot in life.
I don’t have any respect for bohemians, and I don’t even remember who the Filmmaker is, so I betrayed her as a matter of fact.
Despite my stated disdain for bohemians, the Singer managed to grow on me by sheer persistence, flooding my deck at all times. So rather to my surprise I found myself reluctant to betray her, and ended up honouring her trust.
I like cats and owls, so of course I love my owlcat. But I’m ambivalent towards the Duchess and her sister. The whole business with Parabola is interesting from a purely academic point of view; but the Duchess’s confessions did not give away any details that could compromise that (assuming the mentioned sister is even the one from the Attendants), so I didn’t really have a reason not to betray her.
And finally, I tend to stay out of the urchin’s intrigues. So when I was questioned about Molly’s confession, I made no effort to protect anything. I don’t have anything against the Colonel, but she really shouldn’t have expected me to get involved and try to protect her secrets. Besides, it’s not like the information is likely to cause her harm.
i’m rather curious now to how many people protected Molly’s confession now, as a lot of people seemed to have in this thread.
Onto the confessions themselves. Folklore protected all of them that were given in person as a matter of trust. After all if they ever generate their own confessions they’d want the same to occur. That said the Sardonic music hall singer’s one, really really wanted to direct the brother to another source of help. Additionally enjoyed learning more about the Bishop of St. fiacre.
Protected all of them, Dirae Erinyes is nothing but steadfast
