The others already spoke my thoughts on the Riona question, so I'll focus on the part that gained my attention and seemingly no one else's. Are you saying that Jade alone can trigger the code for "potential"?
If we're following the Riona logic Spock drew up from reading my mind it means the character of Fuckface thinks there is a potential for a romantic relationship between him and Jade, and this is before the divorce papers are even written up. I know he can be a bit of an idiot but how does he see that possibility with all the obstacles in the way and the nature of their interactions?
It's not like with Bella with an absent and possibly dead husband, no kids to think of, and a best friend who is around the same age as her possible lover, who also has a well-founded friendship with the MC. Fuckface has barely any more meaningful social interactions with Jade than he has with the vending machine kid. Outside of class, all they really do is fuck like feral otters and then engage in some toxic af pillow talk.
Now that I've taken the time to write about it, I realize it's kind of inane and there's a high probability it won't matter down the line, but fuck it. This forum can handle my overthought discussion topics. We can always go back to the cycle of meme-offs and waifu wars, not to forget the unrelenting "where/when update", "how install", and "fix bug" posts.
To cap it off, does anybody see Fuckface and Jade having, not only a long-term but successful relationship arise after the divorce? For those who have played Acting Lessons, do you think it'll play out like it did with that MC's ex-wife?
