I use to be a very hard critic of this game for tagging as realistic and then going stupid (kids in clubs, gym parody, a 16ish yo boy playing the big man against people older and stronger, etc...), BUT, this update was actually not that bad, let me explain first.
I do believe that as L&P is growing up and gaining more life experience and women knowledge, he had realised that the starting script doesnt work. Dylan is a looser, from the start to the end. He starts shy, introvert, bullied, gamed by other kids, his "friend" is actually playing him behind so he is not his "real friend", he is bad in studies, he doesnt have his father respect, he looses games in soccer, he is bullied by her sister, etc... NOTHING there is attractive for a woman, it is actually a pussy drier.
Then he tried the "character development card", look how dylan got a haircut and went to one fighting class, and now he is a gigachad. It doesnt work, as much as L&P tries to frame him as gigachad, he isn't and that route will not work. Dylan is a psychopathic creep and huge looser, period.
So now he had turned it around. Why Sophia is attracted to the Dylan situation (not Dylan BUT the situation itself), because she has separation trauma. She is experiencing a period when a woman has to let go of her own child, she has to let him go and let him transfer from kid under her skirt into man in the open world, BUT, she refuses, she lacks the strength and character. She uses sex (boobs) to keep him close. In terms of psychollogy, that is called a "terrible mother", LITERALLY that is the name.
Im curious because L&P is starting to show up something. Sophia is actually acting conciously behind her husband back and acting without any empathy for him, and now she is a possesive mother who holds the grip of her child close not to loose him. Dark sides of Sophia are arising. Your beloved goddess might become a really ugly person down that path. She is falling down in life, this is becoming kinda dark...
And of course, move the story and give us some interesting sex. Dont be soap opera only.
