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.
Go back and re watch that scene and pay attention to the man reading his phone on the wall by the stairs where Bella turns to James and talks to him .

It could be interpreted that he sees her talking to nobody as he stops what he is doing to look at her . DPC likes to show subtlety with background characters and this could be one of those moments to make you ponder.

After that she walks away and doesn't hold James' hand

It may by nothing of the sort other than DPC throwing in a Red Herring.

If you watch the intro with that in mind the interaction with the older librarian takes on a different meaning. At first view you think she's out to get Bella, but a second watching shows a woman who's worried about her emotionally distraught co-worker carrying on a conversation by herself in the back stacks of the library. That's why she tells Bella she needs to go home, not because she's trying to fire her.

That would be THE lamest "twist" ever. Also you can see James reflection in the mirror - so it makes it extra dumb if he was a figment of her imagination.

Usually at the start of an episode there is a scene that shows something from the past, so James is real, the point of the scene was the Library, the one that the MC takes Bella to on their date if you take the Bella path, and obviously it's her memory when they are walking along the promenade towards the library that Bella starts getting cold feet because she is still struggling with her own feelings between James and the MC.

All this looks strange, of course... just imagine how much she imagines how she lived with her husband and was happy or something. then if you look at reality, it looks like a closed book, quiet and reserved. Well, would she have such hot sex with Mc if her husband was really alive? According to her ideas about husbands, she would not sleep with someone. Somehow only Mc could manage such a heavy woman. I'm interested in something else, what's so secret about that door? even Jill was a little intrigued by this... :unsure:

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
Well, in EP10 if they did find out they don't seem to be too worried about it considering the preview where they seem to very publicly go together to the gym. Unless DPC is pulling a sneaky one on us and it's a scene where Bella goes with Jill or Sage.

Nobody cares, but I had to do mine too

I am big fan of Arieth and I think its just crab slander and would totally bone if given the option. Also Jaime's girlfriend (hopefully got that right), the purple haired girl, I would love to NTR Jaime and steal his girl to prove a point and get him to break up with her. Definitely a move our beloved Fuckface (you guys are great for that name) would do.

Which preview are you referring to?

I think that's from the same scene as the HOTs (+Becky) preview. Some sort of yoga class I assume. Looking at Fuckface in the reflection he appears to be in some sort of yoga pose, so it's not a couple thing going on between Bella and Fuckface.
it probably some universal event, that will play out differently depending on the path you are on. When dpc played the Jill path, the preview he used, was Jill in this same place too.

this doesn't seem so indicative of a public outing between the 2

Bella is clearly dressed for sports (in a porn game), they could be at the gym, there are also other previews on yoga, they could also be connected

let's hope you are right
They are in the gym, that's what I said. My point is, if the relationship turns out to be forbidden (it probably will) and this is a preview from Bella's route than she looks surprisingly comfortable going out with MC (if it is MC who she's going out with), she's even smiling.
