We started with day-to-day in first episodes, and we finished with 1st semester in B&R at the Season 2 end. There are 1 month gap to cover between EP9 and EP10 already and DPC himself said before that game ends in late spring, when MC ends his 1 year in B&R. Everything is accelerating, events will develop more rapidly. We are at the point, where It is not necessary to show us every single day of the MC's life there for development of the plot, characters and relationships. And we need to accelerate to be able to see all this developments. It won't be possible if one episode will cover 1 week of MCs life as before. So, prepare for a ride. I won't be surprised if the whole Season 4 or at least half of it will look like the last 2 episodes of AL. Where MC tells us about past events in his life through flashbacks and deals with the present time challenges. Then it all this leads us to dozens of different endings.Since DPC dedicated an entire episode to Zoey and an entire episode just to a Halloween party, we can safely say that he's in no rush to finish the game. He's targeting 16 episodes apparently, but he threw an entire episode in the trash (Ep.9). I have doubts if this game will only have 16 episodes. If he doesn't create insanely long episodes, the plot won't fit into 16 episodes, neither in this life nor in another.
Zoey backstory/sidestory is special episode, it doesn't have a number. And since he created it, then she would play an important role in MC life and whole plot. She has reasons and every right to do so. DPC can't do the same for every other character (MGs / SGs) just technically and physically. So he picked her and I'm sure he had plans for it a long time ago, bc we seen her in EP3 already. She is as important as MCs dad.
I think many people assume that we SHOULD expect long-term development of relationships, endless dates, restaurants, parks and benches. Of course, some romantic moments and so on will take place, but why do many people think and expect that it will or should last so long? And don't forget about all the interweaving of the plot, all the secrets and riddles that have accumulated and that need to be revealed so that it makes sense.
