To me them doing it for Sage’s benefit seems out of character but it’s as solid a theory as any other. Ive given up on theorising this whole “who’s he cheating with” thing. To me the one that made the most sense was he’s with Melanie... to the point I’m even considering it could be a plot hole that Sage saw him on the phone prior to the MC going to the gym and seeing Melanie off the phone. Could be an oversight and Melanie/Sarah are just background characters. When did DPC make the render of Melanie and Sarah working out at the gym used in the games intro? Maybe DPC just chose Melanie and Sarah as background characters because he already had gym clothes and they were posed running in the treadmills. Its unlikely he’s reusing shit I know... like I said, don’t have a theory on this just raising an idea.It could also be a totally beneficial reason Melanie/Sarah are talking about telling Chad, highly unlikely but feasible. Maybe Melanie has seen how Chad screws with Sage and is trying to help Sage find closure now that Sage has found the MC. I doubt it but it's feasible. Melanie doesn't say anything specifically about wanting Chad only about getting them to break up and needing Sarah to back her if it goes sideways. They talked about how Sage "wasn't going to like it" but sometimes you have to hurt someone to help them. I don't necessarily believe that's what this is but it is feasible. Mostly playing devils advocate and looking for other options. We tend to pick the worst possible ending to all our theories rather than the middle ground.
Regardless, the calls don’t line up and I doubt DPC would be so sloppy as to introduce such a glaring plot hole just to save himself time rendering stuff. Which is a shame because I like the theory it’s her, a lot falls into place motivation wise.
