I'm on my 4th playthrough today and I was trying to pay extra attention to the Bella components, and this is my current suspicion as to what's kinda going on.

I'm guessing Bella and her Husband James were living together and about 3+ years ago James was either watching their child at home and the kid fell in the pool and drowned, or James was driving and got in some sort of car accident that killed their child. I think Bella initially blamed James for the death and shut him out. This is supported at least potentially by the fact that on Bella's book shelves she has a small assortment of children's books like the three little pigs, and a goofy book (there's a few others too). The locked door I believe is her son/daughter's room.

Bella in the pool told MC that she forgave James and wonders if he'll come home, or if what she's doing with MC is adultery and if she should just move on. Jill I'm guessing may have gotten pregnant as a teen and either had it terminated, or lost it. The pamphlet on Jill's dresser is about some sort of support group (or something similar), and i'm guessing that's where Jill and Bella met and are so close. I'm less sure about my conjecture about Jill, but her questions on the date about which date for sex and such might have been because she might have either had sex too young, or been raped potentially? This would make sense why she leans on the fact that her money doesn't bring happiness. I worry a bit about Rusty being a bit rolled up into this, since she questions MC about his thoughts on him.

Again this is all just speculation, but I think there might be some decent clues around this.

(Edit) Upon watching the rest of the date scene with Jill, perhaps instead of her losing a baby or something like that, she was in a support group because she lost her older sister, and Bella now is kind of filling that void.
I also think the part about Bella, her lost child and the children's room is might be possible. Very interesting view.

This is an interesting idea. I think the military has a part to play. We’ve seen the uniform (while drunk) and the boots are definitely real. Possible the kid killed him/ herself with Jame‘s gun? or (and I don’t think this timeline can work) Jame’s forces rebellious kid to join military (possibly go to military academy) gets killed.

No cheating is ever addressed. Nobody ever calls anyone on the MC fucking every girl he's ever been in extended contact with.
In my canon walkthrough the characters that I've had 'sexy times' with amounts to one (Sage) and the only other one that I've put in any kind of pursuit for is with Josey prior to her arrival and B&R.

I think everyone know now that he's banging every girl (if you choose to do that way in your play), but not one single time it was said that the MC is already engaged in a relationship right ? He is officialy single and have some more stronger interest on each girls depending of the path you made on your play.

That's probably also a way to not lock the MC in a relationship with someone that early on that stage of the story.

My one critque of his previous work was that I was railroaded into a relationship with the dull girl (graphically and personality wise) and despite telling her that her acting was crap, her hairstyle was rubbish and so on - I couldn't escape that beartrap until the 'Sophie's choice' moment.

It did feel that we were being likewise driven to go double or bust with M&J but I'm hopeful that the closing moments of ep.5 mean I still might get the choice of going for only one of them.

If not I'm on the Sage or bust route and hoping that she isn't going to go 'Leah' on me!

Could have been any coin... DPA chose this one. It's going to bug you at some point.



I think the real reason Rusty didn't get with Jill was because of Tommy and this Secret Society of theirs. I think the Big Names on campus are all part of some underground club where they control what goes on above ground. I pretty sure even Derek mentioned a strange vibe from the place and rumors. On the outside, it's a fraternity, innocent fun. But in reality, they are using their influence to traffic drugs, maybe girls, or something else. I haven't put it together yet, but this coin is very specific. Yeah, Greek is influential in Fraternities, and common.

or

Maybe I just want it to be something more and it's just a coin to represent Greek history. I'm working on something though. I've noticed certain books laying around in backgrounds that are just as strange.
Relax, we will have to wait until october (at least) to get the next update. I'm not saying that you are wrong, but if we keep with the crazy theories we will get straitjacket, we will see when the time comes.

She is one of the crazies! You should join us too!

Our money is more on Bella going "Leah" than Sage.
