I like Zoey quite a bit. She's cute as hell and her backstory is pretty good. Shitty, but believable.
However, none of my Tremolo's are happy with her. Not always "Mad at her". But she's a terrible fucking friend. Most of the time I ignore her and treat her like shit because of it. She hasn't really apologized in a meaningful way for leaving you friendless and ghosting you at all. Doesn't respect that while she decided she didn't care about you until she got bored and sucked at surfing that we had a very hard time and were pretty broken about it. But get you a little female attention and suddenly she cares.

But that's so realistic.

Her main problem is we never really discuss her with anybody (one quick talk). There havent been enough flashbacks to show our connection. She should at least be featured in a heavy talk we have with whoever we are dating about why you are/were hurt. Gets sympathy from the girl, gives more backstory. Makes us care about them both more. Another reason the "Better friend" question has no weight.
Zoey is a weird character for sure. After thinking for some time I guess it makes sense why most people hate her. Her cutting tremolo off from her life when she was in san diego is the biggest anomaly. I guess it can be explained by saying she didn't love you romantically at that time, and a lot of friendships do end up like that after each party stays far away for quite some time. I guess the only conclusion is that she's a bad friend, and has to make up for what she did in the future episodes. What I like about her is that she didn't fuck around during that time.

I'm right there with ya.


I like Zoey, I wouldn't even be pissed at her for leaving the way she did. I'd be pissed at her for pushing Me/MC out of her life with no discussion, text messages, social media and email exist no excuse to not keep in touch at least occasionally.
it's easier for the player to sympathise with her, he knows she got shit advice to cut him off, MC doesn't.

My DIK saves are mad at her, my Chick and neutral ones aren't, but even then, outside of Sage, i'm more excited to see where her path ends up than the anyone else in the update

Zoey is the only reason I'm playing this game and willing to wait 7 years more for the ending :KEK:

Poor, poor Zoey. Gets 100% of the blame for what happened, no one ever remembers how MC never voiced his feelings, or kept his texts short and didn't really express any positivity, or didn't do more to try and keep the friendship alive. All relationships are a two-way street. Zoey thought she was doing him a favor, and MC basically accepted the idea that she moved on/abandoned him. Nothing happens if you do nothing. But Zoey is the one who has to grovel and beg for forgiveness because MC is our boy.

Oversimplified the whole thing, but you get my point.

Turns out two teenagers struggle to understand their emotions and articulate them. Who'd have thought.

Zoey fucked up, MC fucked up, and now they're a bit more emotionally mature they're working on those issues

True. But her being callous in her texts then simply not responding is a bit different than that. He HAD to accept that she moved on. It was eating him alive. As he mentions checking his phone for her texts all the time. It wasn't healthy. I'd imagine it went something like this.

"I need to let her know how I feel. I should probably let her settle in a bit first. Why is she so short with me? Does she care about me at all or was she using me? Why isnt she texting back? She's always posting on Rooster about her new friends but wont talk to me. Is she dating that guy? Seriously why isnt she texting back? Maybe if I leave her alone she'll text me if she cares. She doesn't care. I need to block her."

Callous? Could you be more specific, because she tried to express her happiness at the time and MC would not "share in her joy" according to her. MC is the kind of guy to say "I'm fine" when he's hurting, and Zoey doesn't like to talk about feelings. She notices that they're drifting apart before deciding to cut him off for good, and I can see why.
"I need to let her know how I feel. I should probably let her settle in a bit first. Why is she so short with me? Does she care about me at all or was she using me? Why isnt she texting back?

That kind of thinking is ultimately self-destructive and just shifts the blame.

Sage (who was just cheated on) knows that you're actively involving what she knows as your ex girlfriend in your life and doesn't even ask why
Sage also knows you just recently picked her over a campus full of other women throwing themselves your way. She's got no reason to worry about you ditching her, and the potential of (more) threesomes in future.

It seems like the problem with Chad wasn't that he was cheating; it's that he was lying about it and, even more, that he was failing to make sure her needs were met.

Well Zoey was the one who chose to end it, so yes, she is the one who has to apologize. What was MC supposed to do? Stalk her? Because that is what it would have been.

Any news for the next update?
Yes. Read posts 23, 56, 344, 590, 1280, 9544, 10555, 11257, 11999, and 14784 in the order of prime numbers. Reverse every 3rd word, remove the letter e from every 9th word and skip every 10th sentence. Then write down the remaining words. Add up the numbers of the 4th, 5th and 10th posts and subtract the square root of 66.79% from the total. The remaining number will tell you how many words you need to select from the group. The words to select will all start with letters of the alphabet between H and P. Put them in order according to the numerical code from post 344. You will then have the answer of the exact time, day and place the next update will drop. You're welcome.

It's not very healthy for MC to be fixated on this. Obsession. Our guy is too easily wounded and takes things close to heart. If you don't get out of this emotional state, it can end badly with a fall to the emotional bottom, fortunately he got out.
