When I once again went through the game, I noticed that Jade is still a hypocrite. Let's remember her chatting with the MC. They discussed Cathy leaving college. Jade at this moment showed herself to be an adult woman and showed a good attitude. "Everything in this life ends, nothing lasts forever and people leave." View attachment 2167308
Later, when the MC announced that it was time for them to end the "relationship" (if he chose LI for himself), Jade reacted like a hysterical immature girl "Look how I don't ruin anything for you"
It looked like a threat, and the adult woman in it disappeared somewhere. What did she expect? She thought that this was a serious relationship, and not an easy sexual affair that would end sooner or later? Jade has shown herself to be a narcissist and a hypocrite.
Jade's reaction to the breakup is hyperdramatic because DPC likes to handle emotions this way and served as a possible preamble for the big fuck, fuck fuck ending

although it all starts with a very sincere and personal confession from Jade to MC, from that point on their relationship has been sex and that's it, MC has always been her toyboy with no aspirations to become anything else on either side. so, objectively, it could only end this way.

we can also understand that Jade feels offended, for being sidelined again by a man (Burke for sure, but maybe also her first relationship), but offenses pass quickly, thinking of revenge plans really opens up arduous for me.

completely different discourse if in addition to this there is also the film around, but in that case the problem is Burke not Jade

It's always much harder to remain cold and detached about events which affect oneself. That's not really hypocrisy, just a fact of life.

"It's not personal" is never true for the person who is on the receiving end of things.

It's understandable that she's offended. But Jade had better accept this reality, in which MC was nothing more than a booty call as soon as possible. Maybe she really was affected by a toxic relationship, but I'm more inclined towards her personality (who raised Tybalt to be such an asshole?)
And here I draw parallels with another teacher. Bella. She reacts in a completely different way - she hurts, but she accepts it and says that "everything is fine." No threats, no scenes, just heart to heart talk. But the picture after they finished talking is heartbreaking - Bella looks completely depressed and alone. Unfortunately, I don't have this screenshot, only the previous one:

The only objection I have to this pic is that she's smoking, which for me is a real turnoff, but appears to be one of Yuno's kinks. His amazing renders rarely disappoint.
Next time you kiss her - think about how many cocks she have sucked.
You know how often I worry about other cocks when I am with a woman? Zero. If it isn't in her mouth while I'm there it's entirely irrelevant.

Did you question your mother about how many cocks she's sucked off over the years before you happened? Most children kiss their mothers, too.

You have issues.

comparison with Bella is merciless, rightly so as a married woman (not sure yet but that is), teacher, 20 years older than him, can only be sympathetic in the face of his choice

And the relationship with Bella is much more sentimental than the one with Jade

Can only say that in Bella's case MC is the asshole. And even though Bella is hurt deeply she wishes the MC best of luck.
Too bad you don't have the next picture, (neither do i btw) because that is how real sadness or even depression looks like.

I know it's a game and i also had this scene on the first playthrough hoping Jill and Bella somehow could be together with you but i cursed MC at that point.
How in the world could he tell Bella off in a fucking phonecall after all she did for him....

The only jealousy variable is the Jill jealousy one and it was transferred for the interlude, so it might be used in the future.
The game really should acknowledge potential jealousy more. The fact it doesn’t really track it even indirectly is telling though.

Off the top of my head… the scene with Jill and Josy is the closest we come. Shit like when MC walks out of movie night, a pantie clad Sage on his back with her saying they were off to brush their teeth should have elicited some sorta response from Josy/Maya.

Bella/Jill is ripe for jealousy. It could show another side of Bella. Josy/Maya could (and in my opinion should) show more jealousy for one another beyond occasional remarks from Maya about feeling she isn’t as sexual as Josy (whilst blowing MC in a hedge and fucking in a pool). Poly relationships are something really poorly explored in these kinda games and he could do something better here.

Sage apparently couldn’t give one iota of a fuck you’re getting with half the universe. Which is fine… that’s her character but you get my point. I know the game had to balance all the girls being ok with the MC to make the story flow but it undermines a lot of the relationships in the game that people are just never acknowledging one another.

If anything Quinn is doing this well. At least her actively pretending not to care shows she does somewhat.

It's not necessarily telling all that much -- at any point the game can probe flags for specific events (including sex) with any character, relationship scores and such. This allows for indirect tracking you mention.

A number of events cause relationship score drop (or lack of gain) -- e.g. Josie won't be happy if she learns MC is dating Jill, but *is* happy if she hears that he is not dating Jill. Similarly, M&J have reaction to Becky revealing MC has flirted with her, etc.

This is the reason why I don't choose Bella's path from the beginning if I don't want to end Ep.8 on her path. I don't want to hurt her. When I had my first playthroughs, I didn't know that and it was hard to watch.
Bella and Jill are currently the only LIs that can be hurt at the end of S2. Sage accepts rejection easily, MC suits her as a friend as well. But what about Josy/Maya is still unknown. We were not shown, what will happen if you get on their path in Ep.4, and then refuse in the end of S2. I understand why.
