I didn't look at it from that perspective, honestly. If he plays his cards right, the MC has more to gain from it than he has to lose.As for the MC social life, I ain´t so sure. If word gets out that he was fucking Hana of all people, his reputation would probably become like a living God among students.
Sombra could probably escalate the situation further by pulling a "Joke's on you, I'm into that shit" on Hana, and destroy any leverage she might have had with that video. Assuming of course she has the brains to do so. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if Sombra has a bit of a Voyeur thing going on, since she has wiretapped the whole Campus and sells other people's nudes, so it would even have some truth to it.
However, the MC is in no real position to capitalize on that (unless Sombra makes the first move, as said above), since he is, to Hana's perception, in a relationship with Sombra, so simply answering "Bring it on" might seem a bit out of character for what appears to be a loving, considerate boyfriend. So it all depends on whether or not the MC is willing to crash the cover story, which probably wouldn't help Sombra getting her bed back.
That is also true. Both are acting like a whole bundle of stupid, no debate, and I am reasonably sure we don't have the full picture of the room dispute. Like, on one hand I'm more inclined to believe Sombra, as Hana's arrogance and self-righteous attitude are apparent for anyone with a working pair of eyes, but on the other hand I get the feeling there is something she and Hana aren't telling the MC.Your reasoning is pretty logical. Both Hana AND Sombra have little to gain, and considerably more to lose, by spreading that video, HOWEVER...!
You need to consider that neither girl is actually thinking rationally in this whole feud. Hana is willing to do anything to screw Sombra, Sombra is risking her whole future out of petty grudges. At the same time, both are, despite themselves, falling for the MC and neither girl seems to recognize what a healthy, loving relationship might even look like, so they´re both confused.
And prone to act really, REALLY stupid.
Like, instead of talking it out, or one of them asking to be transferred to another room, Sombra camps out in a tent/dressing room just because of her wounded pride (though given what we know of her, and her circumstances, asking for a transfer might not be an option), and Hana is, for some reason, holding a grudge so petty it would even make the most traditionalist Dwarf from Warhammer Fantasy say "Whoa there, girl. Slow down.".
The more I look at the whole affair, the more it seems the situation escalated simply because neither of the two wanted, or saw the need, to compromise with the other, which, in the end, piled up and lead us to the current state of affairs, with Sombra on the street and Hana, somehow still not satisfied, getting the MC to fuck her to wreck her happy "relationship".
