I'm still thinking of the branches of decisions, because during the swimming pool, even if you send Dylan away you can still have fewer points with sam and not even talk about the next cello session just some small talk before Sophia notices Amber and swims back towards them. Now you're mentioning another angle and it can very very interesting for, as you say, the cascade of emotions and thoughts going through Sophia. I do like the idea of the "tables turning" if she feels that all the attention and affection she was receiving from her son is fading away by someone like Amber that she is not very unlike herself (a wife, a mother and older woman) and also leading to another player's choices because she can indeed spend time with either sam or someone else unless the player decided differently, as in my case, and not spending time with anyone else and just thinking of Dylan. Most of all I'm interested in the cascade of emotions from Sophia if this ever happens in the story and the "turning of the tables". I liked that idea.
