It's a fact that corruption games usually contain a handful of sleazy, nasty, sometimes downright evil characters. Through blackmail, coercion, brute force, persuasion, alcohol, drugs, favours & even occasional generous gestures, or combinations of these, they manage to corrupt & degrade their intended subject(s). I say a handful but in some games they run to double figures. Now in AWAM there are only two that are of direct personal concern to the MC, or rather there were only two, (the Principal doesn't count because he took the hint & backed off & the Janitor doesn't count because he is at present inactive regarding Sophia). There's been an increase because I think that the Morello brothers should be classified as villains, albeit with more charm than is normal for the stereotypical corruption game baddie. All the other possible corrupters are family, friends or employers, plus an employee.
It seems as though both Bennett (Bennet?..... no-one I've known called Bennett lacked the double T) & Aiden are under threat. They will either be got at by the Morellos, or Sophia will find ways to neutralise them. Bennett's route was curtailed by "popular demand," or so I believe but I will miss this chancer who attempted to take advantage of a situation of his own making. What a sleazeball but he was more realistic than most game villains. He provided a more mature low-key approach to corrupting Sophia. I thought that on their next 'date' he could have demanded that Sophia hand him her panties, a small incremental step with big significance, especially if he'd given them back to her at the date's end, having demonstrated his power, as he saw it. He could also have had her lift her dress & sit on her bare bottom while they dined. (Ah, the endless possibilities). He had potential of a type that, to me, is far more entertaining than the awkward advances of some I could mention. I think he should be reinstated but I know this won't happen.
Having said all that, if not much more is going to occur between him & Sophia, I think it would be best to get rid of him now & not drag things out. ( New job, new city....of course, no mess). At least that way there would be one less character to render & I'm keen to see some side stories written out, even where for me, it's regretable.
I'll come back to Aiden in a future post as that will probably be even longer than this one.
