Well unbeaten is just another way of saying he is the best. Or definitely one of the BEST.
As for Carl he has money and he thinks money will help him get through everything. We have been shown how he likes to show off. It is just his nature to talk like that. Doesn't mean anything.
Here is evidence of what has been mentioned about Richard Murphy. Which clearly shows that he is a really big lawyer.
Killing or serious crime ( the definition of which is also given in this scene, which is far more bizarre than the typical serious crimes ) from Aiden is what it takes for Murphy to have a chance of being defeated. In order to emphasize that Murphy is no pushover.
Murphy is a prominent lawyer. A fact that I will use after the next few images.
Plus a good rapport with the judges.
All these are facts of the world the game is in, however what Carl has said is only his assumption and overconfidence because of his wealth.
Aiden also has connections with Criminal circles known both to the Principal, even told to the police officer.
The only reason why one can even choose the boarding school route and ensure complete safety is because this is an erotic visual novel not an action novel or about gang wars. In real life this is no small threat. Involving the likes of Morello is quite logical, because lawfully dealing with this is definitely not fruitful. However involving the mafia is once again taking a risk
Conclusion: L&P uses this pose quite often both when she is following something and during an ongoing process (talking to someone, looking for something, ...).
The last teaser, by eliminating the situation of talking to someone or searching for something, only leaves viable the situation where Sophia is chasing something that is happening or will happen.
Now that is very well researched, interesting and insightful, although difficult to conclude. Often leaning against something when standing is either to steady oneself (eg. tired, drunk, wearing heels), or maybe indicate a lack of confidence and needing tactile support. So Sophia may be more vulnerable that she appears in certain situations.
My two favourite games, just about, remain AWAM and JOHN, but my opinion on both has slid backwards in the last 12 months. I have just tried my best to ease off from both games, a couple of lengthy vents about L&P's project management skills aside. I have just found that I have had to widen my circle of VN's played. Some are as still story focussed but it is nice having a few where the progress to sex is much faster depending on whether on a partiular day wanting entertainment or plain fapping.
So just find another few games that hopefully float your personal boat. And then pop back over to see if Sophia has snogged Jessica yet!! (And that would be one crossover which would certainly get my interest!
When I think about it, it's the slow pace of development, the many paths and the relatively interesting story, the combination of these 3 components that keep me interested. Other games I play with more development speed are smoked far too quickly to keep me interested for long. Especially since none of the erotic games, unlike some of the books I've read, were worth playing a second time. But that is a very personal point of view.

IMO, whatever is the context (aiden task, new branch / bonus storyline) the expression says she is witnessing something that is not really sexual in nature.
The description says "looming", so to me it is either the result of her task and the possible implications (e.g. the pictures of the paintings, something that she had to do...) or something that she was not supposed to see, which could give her leverage for example over Aiden or Bennet, or, worse, something that will endanger even more her position in the blackmail path, or a complete different event that starts the "totally new branch" (and there all the bets are open).
The second detail in the latest teaser is the environment. A new one. I think L&P would have found something suitable in Sophia's school if the scene had taken place there. I think it's a different school
I think it's a different school or adjacent installations.
If there are outbuildings for other activities (e.g. sports) but Sophia's school, then we can talk about Zac/Dylan.
If not: who goes to school? Ellie and Sam. I don't think it's possible.

That was what I first saw in their facial expression and also immediately noted here in the forum. Sometimes I have the impression that others do not look at all or are unable to read faces (I do not want to shame anyone, that's just my impression.). Thank you for the interesting comparison.

Not yet. Next update is Aiden's task #4, an optional Don Morollo event, and a "special" bonus scene. So pretty much a snooze update, if there ever was one as much as we can actually believe the hype of this update.
Leaning against walls might be subjective, but peeping around corners to watch and listen, particularly if suspicious is definitely sneaky, and characteristics of lack of confidence.
But thank you to those displaying past images highlighting and examining expressions, posture etc. to help define Sophia's character, please submit more. It makes me think how much subtle detail the dev has applied, almost to the point of obsession. Some images are truly reflective of individual works of art.
I've fallen in love with Inside Jennifer, if you haven't you should give it a try. It isn't pretending to be brilliant, but it's more than a simple fuckfest too. It's a fun little game that isn't going to overstay its welcome and has great payoff.
But to stay on topic- I really do hope to eat crow. I actually think the next update will be good, I just hope it's good enough to justify the time spent on it.
Yes - that's one of the ones that I have found to while away my time between AWAM updates. Younger more liberal fmale protagonist.
Re AWAM I was foolishly optimistic when L&P announced the move to new shorter updates. I knew that we would be unlikely to get first shorter update by end of Dec'21 (from a 20/11/21 startpoint) but allowing for extra family time off for Chsitmas / New Year, I was one of those that naively hoped for the first of shorter updates by mid Jan'22.
I have seen his posts on the "new" thing he is collaborating on, and I can understand trying new things take time. But I remain sceptical as to what benefit this would bring, as opposed to simply getting the basic work done faster. But I am assuming this new thing is what his Patreons want and I am not botthered about, and as a non-Patreon I have to accept that I don't get a say in that decision, which is fine.
But on the other hand it does show that L&P appears to be belatedly listening to his Patreons and even more belatedly actually doing somethng about it. I obviously hope this new collaboration works well and L&P is satisfied. We have got 10 days before L&P would miss mitting the end of Jan'22 for this update i.e. at least two full months. I guess we are just going to have to give him a bye on this month's update speed as he takes stock for Act Two of the story, and introduces this new change. So that simply put the time sensitive point to the second update of this year - can he get out a quick update in just a month?
If not, then allowing that some updates will be by their very nature longer in scale and / or complexity, then we won't be able to get one Playable Day in-game done in less than a year in real time.....
Each to their own. Or whatever floats YOUR boat I guess. The Office is NOT my cup of tea.
I have ranted about it previously at some length. I do not like the depiction of the female lead character.
I may have described her as over-pixelated......
I shall have to bite my tongue, and hope those that enjoy "The Office" continue to do so.
