I'm in the same boat. Fantastic game, but I couldn't figure out that puzzle, even after like 20 minutes of guessing. I would gladly play the game again just to see what happens next if someone posts a solution though.

Thank you! I went back and finished the game, it's so incredible, thank you for making this.
I think the issue with the second argument is not that it's confusing, more so it's that there are just so many options that made sense to me. I was pretty sure it was the calendar, but I wasn't sure which statement (and I really did think I tried "I never wanted this" + Calendar, but I guess not). But in my desperation I tried like 40 different combinations, trying to link together the words of statements and the objects, like how the aquarium is described as "empty" in the statement but clearly had a fish, or at least an image of one. Anyway, clearly I was just overthinking it.
