Many who know me know that I like to theorize about possible connections. I still do, but I no longer post them in this thread.Bella is from Neil's era (maybe a few years younger than him), so they would have been exposed to the same kind of music at that time.
I'd suggest this song exists purely in the story to bridge the gap between Bella and the mc.
It could have just been that the mc simply heard and liked the song, but the whole story about him learning to play it for his dad's sake further endears him to Bella (both his sincerity and choice of music).
Now let's move on to Isabella and the song. You know what? It's Bella's favorite song and so is Neil's. As Shabza wrote, Isabella and Neil are in the same generation. +/- two, three years.
In EP8, DPC prepares us for confrontations with ex-boyfriends. There we have the conversations of MC/Jamie and Elena/MC. Both hint at how MC will deal with jealousy in the remaining EPs and how he deals with it. At the end of EP8, Zoey shows up. I don't know now if she goes to B&R as well, but I am sure of one thing. She will be the catalyst for the current MC LI's jealousy. Based on a paragraph in BaD's official walkthrough, you can see that DPC has a more concise path planned for the MC and the current LI's starting in EP9. This involves the MC choosing either a LI (in the throuple, Josy and Maya are eligible LI's) or one or more side girls. I speculate that if the MC chooses the Side Girls, each LI will become unavailable over time and Zoey will be a LI backup for the MC.
Now I would like to get back to Bella. When Isabella talks about her time in college in EP5, she mentions at the beginning that she also left friends behind. What if Neil was one of those friends? It doesn't have to be romantic.
But I see parallels here between Isabella and Jade. What do you think would happen if it came out that the MC had danced the horizontal tango with Jade? The MC could lose up to three potential LI's. Sage, Josy, Maya. The constant for the parallel is the loss of people with whom the MC has a strong emotional bond. And the same could, but need not, happen to the MC with Isabella. Imagine, at least those who have adult children, if your child (18+) had a romantic relationship with a friend from your youth. How would you react? What if Neil and Bella once had a romantic interest in each other, but due to Isabella's departure, the relationship never happened? I think there's a bombshell hidden here, too.
Now for something else. I strongly believe that DPC will give the MC from EP9 a chance to choose a profession. And why? Tommy chose one at the end of EP8 when he took the brown paper bag from Vinny. Riona also sells some pills. But what about the MC? Maybe Maya's solution can be found there too. In my runs with minigames, the MC passed all the midterms with top marks. He passed the finance game and the mansion renovation mini-game. He's athletic and musical. But there is one thing he hasn't learned yet, and that will be his hardest lesson.
YOU CAN'T HELP EVERYONE.
Everyone has their limits somewhere, including the MC. In the beginning, he has something in common with all LI's except Josy and Maya. I could easily imagine Josy going to the gym just to have a common hobby with the MC. But I digress.
I think Stephen and Jade could help Maya with a scholarship that only covers school expenses. Josy is financially secure, but the money only covers living expenses for one person. This means that Josy cannot help Maya. Unless Josy also gets a scholarship. Well, and the MC is not swimming in money either. We need a third scholarship. We shouldn't forget about Derek either. And why is that? I don't know what Patrick will do when he finds out Derek helped his sister. Like I said, the MC is the best at everything. At least in my run through. Who will get a scholarship? The best, of course. The athletic scholarship will be awarded to Chad. Why am I writing this? Stephen, who probably decides who gets the scholarships, approached MC in the library at the beginning and asked if he was an athlete, and Chad attacked MC once. (- Chad). So we have 4, maybe 5 possible scholarships. The 5th one could be initiated by Amelia Royce. She was sitting in the audience at the concert and heard it all.
MC is giving up gender studies:
I think Maya will move up for this. KRJ would also be considered, but has been at B&R for a while and has other interests. Maya, on the other hand, wants to be a social worker.
MC is giving up English:
This could be good for Josy. She is also interested in literature and not just the financial crisis.
MC forgoes math:
I think this is something for Derek. We know he didn't cheat on midterms and he was also a favorite student of Cathy's. If you ask me who cheats on midterms, I would say Lily. She came out of the bathroom after MC and looked at him funny.
That leaves MC with only 2 options. Chad says goodbye to his scholarship and it is awarded to MC. What that triggers is anyone's guess. But if the Royce family decides to fund an art scholarship, MC would be delighted. Just look at the DIK's in attendance at the concert.
Jamie: Botany and poetry
Jacob: Painter
Leon: communication and promotion. Just read through Leon's cackle once. His cackle about the MC gets the most likes.
John: Cooking is also an art form. Cooking Art.
Derek: Entertainer and comedian
I see so many fanatsitic possibilities for Being a DIK that DPC wouldn't get done by EP50.
