The choice to delete the restraining order photo in Life is Strange Double Exposure or send it to Safi is tricky. Especially given how little time you've had getting to know the people involved. Without being fully able to grasp people's motivations it's difficult to make an informed decision. If you're on the fence about sending the photo or deleting it, hopefully my insight will help you make the right call. 

It's decisions like this which can actually increase how long it takes to beat Life is Strange Double Exposure by a fair amount as you try to decide. It's got to be done, however, if you want to try and find Safi's true killer. So read on to find what happens in Life is Strange Double Exposure when you decide whether to delete the restraining order photo or send it to Safi.

Knowing how to open Lucas' briefcase in Life is Strange Double Exposure is easier said than done with Lucas hovering around – especially if you decided to interrupt his speech at Safi's memorial. You'll need to Shift into the Dead World timeline and head over to the cafe to grab a sharpie pen from the counter. Then you'll be able to head over to the expo standee and vandalize it – it doesn't matter if you opt for the black eye or the devil horns, the result is the same.

When you've finished, go back to Lucas and tell him about the him the defaced standee. This will distract him for long enough for Max to grab the key from the table. Now shift back to the Living World timeline and use it to unlock the briefcase whilst Lucas is distracted. There's a bunch of things to rifle through, but it's the restraining order that'll progress the scene.

Max discovers Lucas has filed a restraining order against Safi. He's claiming bad behavior, but at this point we know that there's no love lost between the professor and the poet. Lucas catches Max with the photo and makes his case for it. You're then presented with the choice to either delete the restraining order photo or send it to Safi. This decision will have an impact later:  

If you send the photo to Safi, Lucas will be furious – an attitude which will resonate through other key moments in the story. 

If you delete the photo, Lucas will appreciate the gesture, though it will impact certain interactions with Safi in the Living World timeline down the line. Consider the evidence in hand, and go with your gut on this one!
