In a manner of speaking it is...It's like an achievement
Dunno who claimed it... but I fail to see KRJ here... why is that ?!
Sure in fact many have them !
Do you have any theories about who it is? The redhead in the center looks like a young Sage, the black one on the left is Jill. And on the right is a young Jade.

Yeah, Jade hates the MC so much she ratted him out to the preps and got him kicked out. Oh wait, no, that didn't happen; she just walked away.
I'm sorry, but the notion that Jade hates the MC or that the MC is afraid of her if he turns her down is ludicrous. It's been 5 episodes since then and neither of them have thought twice about the other. Jade is a valid concern if you fucked her (*especially* if you picked Sage), but she is an absolute non-issue otherwise. If DPC insists on treating her as an existential crisis, he's only going to make his hole deeper.
Please, the idea that Chad so much as french kissed Sage is laughable at this point. Sage will be every bit as unsullied as every other girl in the game (even if only Jill and Maya make a big deal of it).
Of course we're forgetting about Tybalt! No one gives a shit about that guy. He's a complete laughingstock. The MC hasn't cared about ruining his suit for all of Season 2. Even if you slugged him, the MC was only to happy to bully him to the point of physical damage in tennis a couple weeks later. Tybalt is such a buffoon that if he even if he did try to stop the Burkes from helping Maya out of spite, it would somehow end up with Maya taking over his scholarship and Tybalt winding up working in Quinn's restaurant.
The idea that the MC is cowering in the bathroom because he's afraid Tybalt will tattle on him is only slightly less moronic than the idea that he's terrified Jade will immediately demand he have sex with her. The MC's overreaction to Sage's family reveal is just bad writing to shoehorn the Interlude into a story that has no place for it. That's all there is to it.
I'd assumed they were just a temporary feature to make Zoey's turn as protagonist feel different than the normal game. I thought they worked well in that sense.
If they're here to stay then I really don't like them. First, because I think making the Interlude feel distinct was a good thing; I'd hate to learn that was an accident. Second, because I dislike unnecessarily flashy graphics and the 'twitchy' animations on the text balloons is distracting. I also prefer the dull-but-legible text blocks to the handwritten font.
Emma_calm seems obvious enough; what sets the other two?
It's clear the decision to talk Emma down is significant, probably because it will determine how 'forceful' Zoey will be when she hits her 'drama break' later in Season 3. Beyond that though, it doesn't feel like Zoey is really capable of having two distinct personalities. I guess she could have polite/coarse dialog options though, sort of like how the MC's Status will change his profanity without changing he overall attitude.
Thank you, that's an excellent way to put it: the MC has matured past Zoey. I'd always thought that was true of his relationship with her, but now we learn it's also true of Zoey herself. Bringing her back into the story at this point, in this way, seems doomed to end up resetting the MC just so that he can learn the same lessons all over again. Blech.Aight I just finished the interlude and I'm gonna give my stream of consciousness like some have done here and respond to a few posts as well. Spoilers for length and... spoilers I guess

That's been my fear since Season 2 ended. Interlude did nothing but reinforce them.
Interesting, I hadn't heard that. It would certainly explain things. One of the common credos in writing is to be willing to kill your darlings, and this definitely feels like a case where DPC was unwilling to do so. If the Interlude had been a longstanding dream, it would have been that much harder to drop it and rework the idea into something better fitting the game as it stood.

The left one is the chick that got double teamed at the party in the previous episode, the right one was at the party too I think and no idea about the middle one.

It does not make sense. I was a chick affinity when I "talked down Derek"
Does anyone know the variable to change the affinity? I don't want restart the game.

The left one was in the wizard of Oz or the Adam's family, the center girl might indeed be Sage's sister and the one on the right is a nomad traveling between Ataegina and Intertwined.

Hmm, that's it? Soooo guys, do we have to wait another 6 months to find out what happens next? Shit, it's too long.

emma_cluck is set to True later in the scene if you chose to take Emma's phone, then you choose 'Get revenge'.
zoey_dik is set at the end of the episode, and depends on the value of zoey_dk, the variable that gets altered at numerable points in the game. If it's >= 0, zoey_dik is set to True.
Totally waste of time

It's a side effect of the way permanent affinity was accelerated for Neutrality. DIK and CHICK Affinities became permanent when you burned away the last of the opposing boxes. Logically, permanent Neutral Affinity would require burning away enough of both boxes that would could no longer get DIK or CHICK Affinity anymore.
But that would have required about 2 more episodes to finish, and DPC evidently wanted to lock in all Affinities at the end of Season 2. As a result, Neutral Affinity is locked in if you fail to earn one of the other Affinities with the final Major Decision in Episode 8. This counterintuitively results in situations where you lose your Affinity by trying to reinforce it; technically, you had already locked in Neutral Affinity some time ago, but the game didn't tell you about it until now.
Sadly, the only way to fix this is to go back and reverse enough Major Decisions that you'll be able to burn through that last box by the end of Episode 8.
Interesting, I wondered if that was how it worked. It sounds like Zoey has three possible 'states' (which I shall dub Forgiving, Neutral, and Vindictive), and a DIK flag. That last one probably will be like the MC's Status dialog.
I still say it would have been better to skip the Interlude and use Zoey's interactions with the MC to set equivalent variables, but perhaps DPC can salvage something from this approach.

The new interlude update is not bad, short, to put Zoey's return in context, nothing more. Now the interesting thing is going to be if we are going to be able to handle MC and Zoey or if we are going to continue with Mc as before and Zoey as one more character. Apart from that I have my doubts regarding future updates and if someone could answer me I would appreciate it: For update number 9, where do we load it? In the interlude game file or in the lifelong one?
