Tremolo still helps with the tennis doubles game and Jill's recital. He's still doing good things for her. I don't hate Jill but I think it's pretty shitty of her to put her own pleasure over someone else's suffering in that instance in the game. Besides, Sage is never mentioned by name in that scene and Jill and Sage don't have any interaction with each other prior to Ep. 9 and it's Sage's preconceived notions that are disabused during that exchange.

MC played doubles because Bella asked him to, not because he was in love with Jill. He didn't know who he was playing against until after he and Bella were well on the way.

The recital is certainly a different matter to consider. If he practiced the piece and was able to perform with her then she should have opened the door for him at decision time at the end of episode 8. I think that was a plot hole but there again Jill may see him as more of a friend (aka Bella) and not a romantic interest by that point in her story if they didn't have the earlier connection on the picnic and in her room. I expect that if MC helped her out there will be further opportunities with her as the story progresses; after all, MC now has seen her in her sexy bee costume and she and Sage are now compatriots in the anti-Tybalt brigade so Jill will potentially be around more with the HOTs as she will come to a DIK party instead of hanging out with the preps to get away from Tybalt in social situations. If MC chose solo or is a CHICK/Neutral who has a breakup with another girl Jill will be around for him to get close to again.

When did she ever say that her own pleasure comes before the suffering of another? She had no idea that he had plans that day. She simply doesn't reach the connection that she needs with the MC if he doesn't go on that second date with her. There are so many things they learn about each other on that second date. And no she is not an entitled rich girl, that should have been clear from the early episodes.

Ok not entitled, but because she didn't have that pleasureable episode her convictions are just weak then. What if it wasn't Sage, what if it was he had to go home to take care of his sick father?

Probably not a big deal since there was almost zero chance that MC was fucking him when he wasn't sick. If he was, well, then Jill probably would have dumped him for that too.

I mean it is a complicated situation for her. She wants to spend time with him and also tell him that she can't see her. I am sure though that she would completely understand it if the MC went home to his father considering how emotional she gets when he tells her about his feelings about his birthday. Taking care of family is a lot different than a friend with a cold, especially another girl. I wouldn't be surprised if she would suggest to have the date another day if that was the case.

One cool thing about this game is that you can experience the story and get vastly different views on a character depending on what choices you make. I for example have always seen the choice of getting involved with MaJo to be a very selfish decision by the MC, likely because I played DIK the first time. Even after restarting and having them accepting the MC I still see that relationship as a disaster in the making. But I know others feel differently, that the MC is what keeps MaJo together.

I agree that the recital scene is a bit odd if Jill rejects the MC at the end, I'll give you that. But in my opinion that is a flaw in the writing rather than the character.

She doesn't find out about the not seeing him until halfway through the date.
