ok, so the first one is the character menu after talking to everyone (even doing all the fun scenes), the second one is after picking up the note after malum left, helping crevan, talking to dux at the temple, then meeting them in the office.... this is the last message before the third screenshot- where it gives you the options i told you about- i'm on android, so i can't open or copy, but i can rollback, ignore, and exit. the fourth one is after ignoring, when you try to talk to them again, and it just repeats about new information (same as it does when you wait to grab the note)
i can't exactly show you the portal problem, but basically you tap to go through, and it sends you right back to the area you go into from the main map
anything else i can do? so sorry for all the trouble, and thank you for your help
