Daniel should start cheating during Sean's second turn. It is particularly rare; however, Daniel doesn't cheat if you got everything on your third throw by good fortune and quickly won. If that happens, but you want to positively influence his Morality, it is advisable to restart from the latest checkpoint before continuing the story.

- High Morality (≥ 0): Daniel's response indicates his inability to hide the fact that he's cheating.
