I was always slightly confused about this. Maybe you or someone else can help my smoothbrain work it out.
So Quinn is possibly working with Burke to get girls into prostitution. That makes sense, I don't see why Burke would have set up a scholarship for Mona unless he was involved, and the rumor plays directly into the HOTs where Quinn can vet the girls.
But if that's the case, why is Quinn always so fucking broke? She has Burke by the balls, and he's loaded af. Quinn isn't above blackmail, one tip to the police from her and Burke is ruined for life, he should be her paypiggy in this whole deal. Instead Quinn has to constantly wheel and deal, taking all the risk from dealing drugs and setting up clientelle for the prostitutes while ALSO whoring herself out to the MC even. I love Quinn, but is she just retarded or is she in some really deep debt hole we don't know about? At the very least she should be breaking even on the prostitution alone. How much money was Quinn going to make by selling Mona to that prep alumni/parent who is probably rich and married? We must be talking thousands at least.
Let's see what can come out.
The annual cost of the university is covered by this supposed partnership, that in principle would be dozens of thousands of dollars per student, that is already a lot of money that Burke would have to know where to get, because the options would be, that money is real or are only accounting movements that Burke makes in the books of B&R. There must be a mutual fear there, because if one goes down so does the other.
Many speculate that Quinn's reason for raising a lot of money is Rox, to get him out of jail or to buy him protection....
Lastly, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that Quinn wasn't that smart in negotiating, or that his cut goes directly to Rox, squeezing Burke more could be a big problem indeed.
I don't like how MC can't seem to help Riona with her stalker problem unless he's used the restaurant or gotten with her. I don't really know the trigger, but my MC can only talk to her about it in my DIK manwhore save. This makes me nervous. I really like Riona. I know that my Chik and neutral MC would help her in a heartbeat too, but no option to.
P.S. I wonder why MC and Bella (Jill and Bella both path) refuse to talk about how my MC is wanting to date Jill. And now Bella wants to date too. Seems odd that they don't at least address it.
I just wanted to let you know that I'm back since Tuesday and working at full speed.
I'm juggling several tasks at the moment, including Steam preparations, writing the walkthrough, posing animations, and setting up the environment for episode 8 development.
Not a lot to report now, except that I should finish writing the walkthrough sometime within the next 2 weeks and that everything is good.
During my time off, I have been doing some upgrades to my cooling and ventilation systems to make sure that my equipment can endure the summer heat.

That could be an explanation on why Tybalt said he wasn't always rich after the tennis match. Is still doesnt make sense to me couse he clearly doesnt have a clue on what is to be poor. But either way doesnt have sense, so if he came from poverty, as he said, a step-mother/step-dad will be a reasonable explanation.
We don't know everything about the Burke family (Jade, Stephen, Tybalt, and X).
During the argument scene between Jade and Stephen, we see 3 photo frames. In the middle the couple, on the left Tybalt and on the right we do not see. We assume a second child, but this does not necessarily mean that it is a known character.
Then I think the Burkes are a blended family. During the argument, Stephen tells Jade that she has already had a long relationship besides theirs.
Then there is the money and the wealth of the Burke-Tybalt. At the very start of the game, Maya explains to the MC that Tybalt's family makes a huge donation to B and R every year, and that makes the headlines of the local newspaper. Tybalt later tells us that he was not always rich.
For Stephen having the video of his wife cheating on him is good for him.
In 7 episodes we advance a little more than a month in the game time, I don't think the end will be with the MC graduating (such a brutal time skip would only leave Josy and Maya in college, well, and Bella).
On the other hand, I don't know how the succession fight will continue, I was just saying that if it's Quinn or Lily, it would be a gangster fight.
Yeah I really hope DPC makes Quinn and Lily fight for presidency of the HOTs and we have to choose to help either one of them. Judging from what characters said it seems the college lasts for 2 years? Which means we have a time span of 1 year of college in the story if we want to finish the game with everyone still in college. But who knows what DPC will do if we have a planned 16 - 20 episodes. I have a feeling for season 3 we will have some time skips
How old is Jill in that flashback where we see Lana 9 or 10? Josy and Jill can't be that far off in age. So you're basically also making the assumption Lana already had Josy during that flashback.
If I'm not mistaken you even said you think Lana looks 18-ish in that flashback. So Lana had Josy when she was 12-13? Yea that makes no sense. lol
You still haven't figured it out. First of all, Josy is much smaller than Jill. If Lana is Josy's mother, Lana will be much smaller. That automatically distorts the perception about Jill's age. Just go from size alone for once.
Lana is not dead. She has been sneaking up on Jill for quite some time. Over time, of course, Jill gets older. Then comes the time when Lana can't go to Jill for a long time. Why? Lana is pregnant with Josy. Lana and Jill meet less often now and where? At the picnic place. But now Lana's past is catching up with her. I imagine Lana will testify against Rox, Quinn's father, as a key witness. She gets put into a witness protection program and is declared dead.
Rox is on the run. Remember the Quinn robbery. Rox wants to stop Quinn from making the same mistakes he did. Quinn and Riona are being followed? By who? Oops. It all makes sense all of a sudden.
The way I analyzed it, DPC has one main story and two subplots. The main story is that of the MC and his family. However, this story is hard to interpret because it keeps getting crossed by the side stories. The side stories are Jill's family and Josy's family.
The hard part is untangling these three stories because we only get pieces of the stories. But I think I was able to completely separate the Josy family story 5 minutes ago and will post it in the thread after work. I admit that I have been wrong a lot too. But DPC has left many clues in the game and outside the game. The title of EP7 "True Colors" refers not only to the content of the story, but also to the fact that the player can understand the basic ramifications. Believe me when I tell you that DPC will set another milestone with this game. I got a little preview of EP8-EP9 and it might surprise some players, bad but also funny. The discussion will definitely be incredible.

Most undergraduate courses are 4 years. It is Sage's senior year (she has to give her dissertation this school year).
Quinn would be a 3 year, next year would be her last, Jill the same. It should be 4 years until MC graduation, any time skip makes you lose at least 2 LI and a main.
But she's too wasted to answer, or just out cold. The girl is obviously a junkie; it's not likely Rox would expect parental responsibilities from some random junkie. She's gotta be Quinn's mom.
Later, in the present when Quinn goes to visit, a fucked up looking woman pushes her aside when she enters:
At this point they're talking about the fucked up woman who pushed Quinn aside when she entered.
Buddy mentions he thought that Quinn's mom would recognize Quinn due to the makeup she wears that imitates Rox's tattoo, since that should remind the mom of Rox too.
Buddy's response that Quinn always was daddy's girl, highlights two things:
Rox is her father whom she loved.
The fucked up woman is her mother, whom she does not care for as much as she did Rox.
So, in conjunction with your suggestion that the drugged out woman is Lana, if true, it would mean two things:
Lana is still alive.
Lana is Quinn's mom.
A few things that kinda refute this:
Quinn and Jill are about the same age, so based on how old Jill is in the Lana scene (she looks to be about 6 or 7), and Lana looks to be about 20, it means, if she's Quinn's mom, she would have been really fucking young when she gave birth. Possible but unlikely.
Lana and the fucked up woman look nothing alike.
In the Lana scene, she doesn't look like a fucked up junkie.
Based on the one scene when we see Lana, while she may be a rebel and disappoint her parents, she seems like a caring sister, so she'd also be a caring mom, the fucked up woman looks like she's just a piece of shit, and in the flashback she was too baked to give a shit, Lana doesn't come across like that.
So all in all, I doubt very much it's Lana lying on the mattress, it's just Quinn's piece of shit, junkie mom.
Yes it is out there, but the one place it isn't, is on dallie's fucking board!
Shazba I like you and I also asked you once for something. You think about it and I think it's great.
But I will stick to my version of the story. DPC has disguised his story really well. He is laying false trails. Quinn's size scale as a kid. Oops It starts at 5 years old. The woman you think is Quinn's mother is a former student who got into coke through Quinn. Of course Buddy knows the woman. But why doesn't he ask, have you talked to your mom? Could Quinn be that cold to her mother? If there's one thing we know, it's that Quinn can be very cold towards her HOT's sisters. Oh yeah, why does Quinn have a problem with the coke?
The woman is a former student and Quinn supplied her with coke, after which this student totally crashed.

"No matter how hot the woman, somewhere there's a guy sick of her shit." (paraphrased)
Hotness is only a cure-all to the extremely shallow. Could also be that he just wasn't happy once he attained her as a conquest, and he wants more. Some people only get the thrill from the chase.

Ummm ... undergrads don't do dissertations (That's Ph.D. level). They usually don't even do Thesis (that's Masters' level). They might do a capstone if they are in an honors program.
Easy, it's the magical dik jacket, once it's attuned to a new member no one can take it too far from our mc as it will reappear on him. Secret diktech.
Do you know what the trigger is? Because I never got a text from her in 2 out of my 3 playthroughs. I only got it when MC was hooking up with her and the HOTs.

I'm not sure, I'd say the trigger is giving her money at the prep party... or maybe taking care of Sage as she mentions that how cool it is and how now she knows who to ask for help, but I think the prep money is more likely.

Maybe in some schools. I didn't have to do a thesis for my undergrad, and I have been working professionally as an assistant writer and have never been asked to do an undergrad thesis (in five years). Although, I have assisted in several Masters' thesis and Doctoral dissertations.
