Question, is it possible to get the Maya and Jody relationship later if I go meet Jade?

Didn't realize that it would stop me from going when I said I wanted more.

To date the answer is no. If we are not with them at that time, we have no way to recover the relationship.
Most probably we will later have the chance to build a relationship with one of the two girls separatel y

ETA = 'estimated time of arrival'

Has the consensus estimate been revised, it has nothing to do with anything DPC has said or implied, but merely, what do people believe to be a likely time of release.
A lot of people think it might release late November or early to mid December
I think it will be about mid December

Bella and MC's relationship began when she was still just the librarian.
I dated a staff member of my college back when I attended. She was a janitor. And yeah, there’s usually no staff handbook rule against it; if Bella were only the school librarian it wouldn’t be an issue.

But she was never only a librarian. She’s advising Sage on her senior thesis. She teaches a class on college research skills—a class the MC would ordinarily have to take, although he pointed out to her he could opt out if their relationship was a conflict of interest… back when they didn’t yet have a relationship, and were only just giving each other sexy naked handjobs, which might still get her fired.

For two semesters at that school I became a faculty adviser: I was in charge of the lab’s grades, so I counted as faculty. And even though I was still taking graduate classes, I was forbidden from dating the students. Wasn’t an issue because I had a pre-existing relationship with a fellow grad student who wasn’t in that lab, but they took it damned seriously: A professor (whom I lived with at the time) had been fired the year before for fucking multiple students, and they weren’t going through that again.

I don’t blame them. Schools lose accreditation over that predatory-professor shit. And if you lose that you lose federal funding—and your students can’t get student loans to attend your school, and if your school has no endowments it can’t afford to stay open. It’s a huge deal.

All that previous talk of Maya being a feminist is interesting
Here is my take
If she wants to be a feminist I will support her 100 percent
I would even join her on the next woman's march to show how much I support her
I will not let any man try and hurt her with his toxic masculinity
What if Maya becomes disillusioned with her views and gradually...changes her views for something opposite? Are you with her?

Bella wasn't Sage's advisor when MC and she started getting frisky. And it's possible that MC might take a different course than the one Bella was teaching later in his matriculation, or Cathy's replacement might have started to teach it.

Also, this is a pretend university in a porn game, so actual real-world rules and policies are not expected to apply when it gets in the way of a good boning.

Now, might she lose her job for dating a student? In most schools, absolutely. Because of that whole power dynamic thingy.

There is a loophole however. If you have a pre-existing relationship before you ever become teacher and student, and it’s publicly known, it’s accepted. Problem is, their relationship began after she became his teacher, and they’re hiding it. So unless the teacher handbook hasn’t been updated since the 1950s, they’re screwed.
any comparison with the real world is meaningless. anything can happen in BADIK.

what we knowfrom chapter 8 is that Bella DOES NOT KNOW whether there is anything in the BR regulations against eventual relationships between teachers and students, which means that it is a possible but not certain thing

in chapter 9 they didn't have time or desire to check, sooner or later they will go and read it and we will find out

a lot depends on when they go to find out, the sooner it is and the less likely it is that Bella's job is in jeopardy. certainly they could continue to hang out but if Bella were to give up her job at BR, but that would exclude her from most of daily life (and already currently the space is minimal).

if, on the other hand, doubt is dragged out until the last season, it might even be part of her ending

While replaying Bella and Jill's paths, I noticed that at the beginning of episode 8, Bella has virtually no interaction with James. It feels like she's talking to him in a detached way, like she's imagining him.
He puts his hands on her shoulders, looks at her, but she doesn't hug him back, which is really weird. It's like James is a ghost to her, some elusive image.
I don't think she's hallucinating, it's probably some kind of post-traumatic state after his death, when relatives talk to the deceased to make it easier to deal with grief.
For the sake of interest I watched some of Bella's scenes with MC and what do we see? She actively touches him as if he were a living person, whereas at the beginning of episode 8 she avoids touching James, although it is logical on a couple in love.

Either DPC is so snowflake and afraid of NTR that he avoids such a natural thing as normal hugging and tactile contact between spouses.
