I can see that conversation with Sage. It would be be a good excuse to allow lewd scenes with her in the present while still having a moment of crisis before the final choice nearer the end of the game. That's pretty much how M&J went before their paths unified, and it seems to be how Jill and Bella are being set up now. Why would Sage be any different?I can't imagine the, "Ok, let's go steady now" conversation with Sage. Totally can see M&J (or either one separately) talking about an exclusive relationship, and definitely if things escalate with Jill (once Tybalt has had his watermelon shoved up his ass and is no longer causing drama) she would expect exclusivity, but given the way things have started with Sage, it just seems strange. Although it's clear that Sage expects that monogamous behaviour from her boyfriend (look how bent out of shape she was over the idea that Chad had a side bitch), but I just can't picture it (I'm sure it will eventuate, I'm just struggling to visualise the scene without it seeming weird).
Remember, we aren't at the end of the story yet. If Chad isn't going to be the primary obstacle to living happily ever after with Sage, something else has to be. The transition from 'guy she was willing to cheat with' to 'guy she trusts to treat her right' seems like a strong alternative.
To me the real question is whether MCs who didn't become Sage's fuck buddy still have a shot with her. I'm hoping they do, but what would be the complication they face in lieu of dealing with the cheating angle? Maybe they just have a slow, romantic burn rather than tumultuous sex followed by a heated confrontation and eventual makeup? It would be amusing if initially rejecting Sage turned out the be the most drama-free path in the game.
