It could occur that the older men get better & move back to their own homes. Sophia, on this route, then applies & obtains the second job & the routes converge. There is also the museum visit to consider. It would be easy for Sophia &/or Patricia's diaries to be so full that they have to cancel. Four relatively minor characters could be removed quickly, painlessly & with believable explanations. More could simply not reappear, e. g. the mailman, still delivering but not seen. I can think of more but those five would be my personal favourites to be written out.
Guys do You really think that dev is going move his game towards sex scenes? As far as I can see the main dev's goal is: "
teasing must go on", that's why L&P is constantly adding new faces to the game. Tease the new ones and forget about old ones, that's the strategy. Implied sex scene(s) is/are most attractive and obsessive, when they look close for the player, but can't be reached.
To illustrate my words, let's remember forgotten characters:
1. Movers
2. Museum guys
3. Gym guys
4. Park & (partially subway) thugs
5. Old patients from first Sophia's side job
6. Claire and her daughter
7. Neil & Amber
8. Janitor
9. Natalie
Who else ? Summarizing: there are a lot of characters in the game and he keeps adding more fresh faces. Mrs Myers and her sons are latest additions. I'd like to be wrong, but facts are stubborn.
