I'm keen to see Dylan & Emma as a couple. It's beyond the right time for him to have a girlfriend. It will help him develop emotionally & become more sexually capable. As things stand now, he's quite useless to a more mature woman craving sexual satisfaction. Lots of enthusiasm & energy could amuse them but no more than that. He needs to learn how things work & then practice, practice, practice. I'm hoping he likes it so much that he starts to lose the unhealthy fascination with his own mother but incest fans also need him to have a steady girlfiend, that's if he's ever going to make mad, passionate love with Sophia.
When I originally enunciated such views I had scorn poured on them along the lines of this was porn, what are you talking about...emotional development, blah, blah etc?, to which I cited the supposed realism of the story. Dylan as a sex machine is just not realistic right now, or to put it crudely, the ability to spy & wank is not the same as having good sex.
Now, I also want Bennett back in his full role, unlikely as this is, because he got results & could have got more, dependent on what choices are/were to be made available. We don't know for certain but it seems there may have been a groundswell of vanilla opinion which helped him on his way to a short story. So now it should be my turn to say, "this is porn, what do you mean blackmail's not acceptable etc?" That doesn't necessarily mean I would have him shag Sophia but the option would be nice. I always prefer the parts of this VN where Sophia is interacting with other adults.
