Fuck no I don't agree! There is a line of decency and moral. That is a very broad and somewhat dangerous statement. For example, romantic love between a child and an adult should not be valid, ever. Or a mentally disabled person that can easily be taken advantage of.

And I told you why I mentioned the age gap. it was because of the image with Bella, the MC and their child. That's the only reason why I mentioned the age gap. And if the mommy issues statement is offensive to you, get off the Internet. You are clearly ill prepared for it.
You understood what I meant and yet you distorted what I said. In the same way that you had the chance to reflect on what I said, but you chose to react with a facepalm. In light of your lack of character and willingness to have a friendly debate, I hereby declare this discussion with you closed.

Well, all the clues are there already that Bella most likely already had a child. And due to some tragedy lost it or it died or whatever. In her bathroom downstairs you can see a step ladder and a mirror practically at the height to accommodate a child.

Also if you peek under the locked door and observe carefully you can see a pair of small shoes. Which many has speculated that's from the painting Bella removes from her small coffee room. So we can presume that this would be some reason for James to leave in the first place with having issue with dealing with the loss of his child, or James took the child away from her.

To me, the image that was recovered seems to show a picture or painting of possibly Bella's husband in combat boots and bloused trousers. Again, maybe he died or is POW/MIA.

Whilst obviously I agree that children are an ABSOLUTE line in the sand (Heck it's why I find Josy so unappealing, looks too young/under 18 to me).
And I firmly agree that people with mental diabilities are vulnerable to predatory behaviour, another highly unacceptable thing.
I have to say equating a relationship between 2 consenting adults, of full mental faculty (MC is a bit dippy though I grant you :LOL:) with full awareness of their respective age difference, and don't even have a messy/iffy overlap of having known each other when one wasn't an adult, to paedophiles or sociopaths if also wrong.



Back on topic, as todays theme is outlandish theories, any thoughts on the founder being Castor Burgmeister, an unusual name that I immediately associate with Castor and Pollux - the Gemini twins. Thoughts on MC being from a 'twin' branch of the Burgmeisters?
...Think it might be time to put away the foil now though

Perhaps, But I don't believe so.
Because Too often Bella mumbles to herself clear indications that she either forgives or sort of prays for James to return as JJ1960 points out in the spoiler below.

Honestly, I've been leaning toward that theory pretty heavily lately. With my theories on who may just become a casualty and meeting the MC's grandparents, it would only make sense that to add emotional value Rusty would end up being the MC's cousin.

*Edit: Though I didn't think of Castor and Pollux for any inspiration.*

We've already been told by Jill that the Royces are a much larger family than just her immediate family so it wouldn't be uber farfetched to think the same of the Burgmeisters.

MC is too badass to be part of the Burgmeister family. Based on Rusty I don't think Burgmeisters are that different from Tybalt. MC can't have a family like that.

The way I see it, it's better to be the Wolf among Sheep than the Lone Wolf.
WHAT?! In terms of personality, Tybalt and Rusty are very similar. They both thought they could gain Jill's attention by using their family name, both are daddy's boys, both are preppy, both are sissies, both are presidents although their VPs are more hands-on. If the rest of the Burgmeister family follows this pattern, the MC better be an orphan, dude.

Wow. She wants James to forgive her and come home. James is alive and Isabella even knows where he is. James wants no contact with Isabella and ignores her. James is a snowflake.

The only question is, what should James forgive Isabella for?
He walked in Bella and Jill having hot lesbian sex and was pissed off that they didn't invite him.

With the Rooster picture of Becky is almost everything right what you have written. But the most important you have forgotten or not seen. The girl next to Vinny has a picture of lightning on her shirt. What does lightning stand for? Electricity. Where does this girl sleep at the end of EP9? In Tommy's room next to the coffin on the couch. Where is the fuse box? Down by Tommy's room. This girl also looks directly at Becky when she takes her selfie.

I think Vinny is just a distraction from DPC in the context of the blackout.
My guy, what "lightning" on her shirt? I see a strange symbol that I initially thought was an "8" but it sure as hell doesn't look like lightning.

I also believe that there was a child of Isabella and James in the past. But it did not die. Rather, I believe that it was not the biological child of Isabella and/or James.

It is not mentioned once in the entire game for Isabella to think of a child, and that would inevitably be the case if it had been her own child.

Given the fact so that Stephen and Jade are the foster parents of Sage, yet shows so that DPC goes such ways.

I wrote and made renders and animations for the big free-roam event this week, and I have three scenes left that need art before I'm finished with the big things of it. After that, I can write code, test it, work on details, place special renders, add phone content, etc.
But I have also focused on other areas of the episode and have been writing other story scenes this week.
After these few weeks, working on something else for a while will feel good. I mainly wrote scenes for Isabella and Riona but also playtested parts of the episode.
I have posed 3657 renders so far, and next week I will start working on animations to beef up my render queue, which is now down to 13 animations.
Riona will get a cosmetic poll that starts tomorrow. Here is a teaser of the options. The winning option will be featured in episode 10.

As a fan of Bella and a loyal follower of her route, I'd rather see James alive than Lynn. Please, just don't. It would be horrible if she was alive. :cry:
If Lynette was alive it would hijack everything. It would ruin the story. All the fun and excitement would mean nothing. He would dedicate his time to reconnecting with he mom.

If she remains dead but has a secret, or just some kind of connection to his new life at college, that's intriguing but it doesn't overshadow everything else that's been happening.

So I can't see Lynette coming back from the dead.

Unless this turns into some kind of undead horror, in which case that would be awesome! :D

There is also the question of how the son of a poor construction worker got into such a college. Many others seem to have somewhat rich and influential parents. How does he pay for it, btw? I don't remember.
I think it's mentioned exactly once. The MC has a subsidised student loans for students with financial needs, which basically means that the goverment pays the interests of the loan for half of your study time, plus 6 months after you finished and for an additional time up to a year if you did not find a job yet.

It's important to note here that there is no loan forgiveness, but the saving on interests alone are very impactfull for a student who has nothing and just finished college.

I believe the MC called it "Student loan for the poor".

That would depend entirely on what happened. If she really just gave up the MC because she wanted to live her own life and not be bogged down by raising a child, it could spawn so many interessting options.

Especially if the MC's maternal side doesn't know he exists, there would be so many things to explore.

Unlikely ? Fuck yea ! But man it could be a jolly ride ! :D
