So I went to find the quote that indicates the house she's living in is her parents old house, in which case she probably doesn't have a mortgage to pay, and hence a librarian wage would easily cover living expenses etc.
But then I found this motherfucker!
mc: "What a luxury to have a sauna and a pool in your home."
Bella: "Yes, it's a very nice home."
mc: "Have you lived here for long?"
Bella: "Ten years... Something like that."
mc: "That's a long time."
mc: "Me and my dad have lived in his house since I was a kid."
Bella: "Does it feel strange to move away for college?"
mc: "Yeah, sort of... It's a big change, that's for sure."
mc: "I do miss living with him, but it also feels like I've gotten more freedom now that I moved out."
Bella: "I remember that feeling. My parents and I were fighting constantly before I moved out."
Bella: "And as soon as I left, our relationship changed for the better."
Bella: "We stopped fighting about petty things and we could just be happy whenever we got the chance to see each other."
mc: "That sounds nice. Where do they live?"
Bella: "They used to live here. In this house."
Bella: "But they are gone now."
mc: "Oh... I'm so sorry."
Bella: "It's fine."
Bella: "..."
What the fuck?
- Bella has lived in this house for 10 years!
- Bella's parents used to live there, "but they are gone now"?
- Bella & James split about 3 years ago or so...
- In the flashback Bella was panicking about needing a job...
So now I'm fucking confused:
- Whose fucking house is it?
- Is it her parents' house or did they move in with her?
- Was James living with Bella and her parents? I get elderly parents living with their married child, but Bella's folks would have been in their 50s, why would Bella and James be living with them? Or did they die even before Bella got married?
- Does "but they are gone now" mean they're dead? Or did they just move out because they couldn't handle Bella's eyebrows?
- Why did she need a job so badly she was freaking out when she was possibly living with her folks and the house was likely paid up?
- Does any of this shit matter?
I'm starting to think James was a deadbeat freeloader... No job (putting all the pressure on Bella to bring home the bacon), living with Bella and her parents in her parent's house... Showing up and jeopardising her job...
Yeah, she killed the cunt.
It will literally be years (possibly up to 6 or more years, depending on the developers obsession with longer animations...) before this game is finished, and it's one big long story. It's great, but waiting between episodes does suck.
