Ellie was doing fine on her own when she convinced to Sophia to give her a French kiss, so she could have probably easily gone further without the assistance of Julia.
I'm not so sure because I don't care nor play the path, but didn't Ellie convinced Sophia to give her a french kiss because Sophia (depending on the player's choice) french kissed Patricia at the club which again relies on the "you did it with them, why not with me?" manipulation ploy.
I was talking about and presenting my idea of Ellie doing or achieving anything with Sophia but with no more manipulation no more "you did it with someone, why not with me too?" or "what about me? me? me?". Do you know what I mean?
"Have fun at a boarding school, honey"? After he revealed earlier about his horrid, manipulative plan with Beelezebub,
THIS is what she says to him? And with a smile on her face, no less.
A stone-faced "Bye, Dylan" seems like it would have been more appropriate.
Hahaha oh my God, you're still on about it...
Dude, I agree with you that the damn plan was terribly stupid, he was tremendously naive and foolishly trusting in a rat like Aiden, we're not going on again about the intentions but only that the damn plan and execution were bad, it
WAS ALL Aiden the twisting of the plan and the tasks. YES! I know! Dylan enables it, made it possible and as I said before it
WAS a mistake
NOT the end of the world or the destruction of the character, people can make stupid mistakes, the point is to learn from them and to work to rectify them and seek redemption and forgiveness, not to go on full of resentment towards someone who she loves so much as it is
HER son.
Even when she just left the boarding school and talked with Dylan this happened.
I would understand your stance about "cold face" and a "short bye", but it's bad to live with resentment towards a relative. Hate a stranger, someone not related to you that's fine! but for someone who Sophia gave birth, raised, nurtured, fed, cares and loves, even when he does a stupid terrible mistake, she is still his Mother and this proves and shows that she has a stronger Mother's love nature than other people would like to give credit for or think that she should have because she wants to be understanding than to be resentful.
He still needs a lot of work to do to redeem himself towards Sophia yes, and he does deserve the punishment of staying at the boarding school but there's room for her to forgive and restore their bond in time.
Anyway, think about what you want, of course, but that's what I think, I'll still remain on Dylan's path and see how things play out.
