Does anyone actually believe DPC's doing this only for himself and has never compromised his vision?I'm not sure if you're trapping me into agreeing with you!
So I will dodge!
What I'm saying is, we know with common sense, by the behaviours of Bella, Sage and Josy (and all the HOTs), that they have had sex before meeting the mc. They know what they are doing, and they are enjoying it.
So a scene with Bella and her husband, where the husband is trying to get some action, and Bella is trying to be professional at work, and then right before he gets to kiss her, Hilda from Hell cock blocks him...
Is DPC protecting the sensibilities of the snowflake anti-NTR crowd?
Or did he deliberately have Hilda send Bella home for absolutely no good reason at all (looking at her husband, I mean they literally weren't even kissing, is not a reason for sending her home at all). And that has lead to theories of Bella being of unsound mind; imagining James' presence.
Also, and now I'm expanding on my earlier post, I thought James' disappearance was the reason why Bella was such a cold bitch.
Episode 3:
mc "At the time I couldn't understand Bella."mc "The attraction was there, but for her it felt so wrong."mc "I remember feeling bad about kissing a married woman."mc "I figured she felt the same since she was being unfaithful to her husband..."mc "which, of course, is a very big deal."mc "But if I had known the real reasons to her tears..."mc "and to her persona..."mc "I wouldn't have kissed her that night."mc "I would have called out for help."
But those lines: "...if I had known the real reasons to her tears... and to her persona..."
Her persona being "The Ice Queen". But she was kinda the Ice Queen to James too. I mean she looked a little younger, but Bella was acting just like the person we've come to know all along, except she was a little less sure of herself (worried about losing her job).
So if that really was James, then what was all that persona bullshit in the mc's inner monologue.
Dude said in the Q&A that he tries to make the game somewhat realistic but changes some things or else it'd be too boring, I don't think showing the girls with their exes during flashbacks is boring in the literal sense of the word, either he's walking that thin line between trying to tell the story in a realistic way and not pissing off "NTR" snowflakes or he's one of those snowflakes himself and that's why he does not do it.
It's not very indicative but during her hell week flashback she was already quite cold, she seemed more social but perhaps the stern looks were always there.This is definitely the weirdest part. She didn't seem happy with her husband at all. She was annoyed about him bringing up some fun they had at the ocean. And he was clueless to how much she seemed to loathe him. Like you said, this was the chance to show the happy, bubbly woman she may have been in the past until tragedy (?) struck, and fucked her over.
Which makes me wonder if there's more too it. Otherwise, that entire opening scene was purely so Bella could run away all weird when the mc wanted to take her to that library.
And even that doesn't make sense. Why the fuck did she run away panicking over that library? So she used to work there. Maybe she got sacked for "looking" at her husband. It's not like that was some awesome experience with her husband there that going near it brought back a flood of memories. If that was a significant memory of him there, their marriage was dead long ago!
I'd like to believe there's a lot more to it. But it's hard not to just accept that it was a shit set up, with zero insight into who Bella was.
Another alternative is, during her dinner with MC she says the library brings her both good and bad memories, mostly bad, so perhaps shit was already hitting the fan by then(?) Like she knew James was cheating on her but was pretending for some reason, or she herself was messing around and was dealing with the guilt... Or the supposed baby was already gone and James was just trying to be his jolly self to try and cheer her up.
We'll see, I have a feeling EP9 will already begin giving us some answers, since we're going to have a party planning and the party itself in the same episode we can assume it will happen in the span of a couple of weeks so I don't think a cop out is possible, there's going to be a confrontation between Jill and Isabella and the marriage issue must be brought up.
Isabella and MC talking about "elephants" and knowingly ignoring the biggest one in the room was already eyebrow raising, if the same thing happens between her and Jill, the eye-roll will be so big my eyes will do a 360º turn.
