I just noticed something. Take a look at the screenshot. 100%? That's also the title of EP3. In the intro, Jade and Stephen are fighting. Is EP9 maybe a continuation of the intro of EP3? Remember that the ending of EP8 is an MC narrative.
Damn, DPC is a piece of shit. I mean that with full respect.
There could be a big time jump that happens between EP3 and EP4, triggered by the decision of whether the MC goes to Jade or is just friends with Josy and Maya. That will also open up the solo paths. But the most important thing is the threesome.
The time jump itself is hard to see because it is spread across all the EPs and is not cohesive. That's why Josy said at EP7's HOT party that it was a mystery and that it reminded her of how the MC gave her his sweater. The MC replied that it felt like it was months ago.
In EP8, the MC told Sage that the more people knew about it, the more rumors would start. So Jade knew Chad was gay. And how? From Josy, because the MC told her. Why does Jade think Stephen is cheating on her with female students? The MC told Maya in EP2 so Quinn would use the girls to make money.
Josy tells the MC before the big decision in EP4 that this seals her fate, and the MC says the same thing. What fate? Nothing really big has happened yet. Here's the time jump. Josy and the MC have made mistakes in the meantime, while the MC just stays friends because Josy and Maya need to figure something out so they can stay together. The mistakes are probably in EP2, EP4, EP6 and EP8. (This is Tremolo 2)
A tremolo is a musical term and can only be used on stringed instruments (guitar). There are two variants.
a=Tremolo 1: Is the water slide with Josy (short and a straight line)
b=Tremolo 2: Is the water slide with Maya (long with many curves)
I'm afraid I don't know how to explain it, since these time jumps are spread across the EP's. This time jump can probably only be countered if the MC is on the Throuple path and he goes to Juno Waterpark with Josy, Maya and Derek. The water slides are the deciding factor in turning the time loop into a timeline.
It is written in both the game and the official manual that the MC sees Josy and Maya as one person, and that DPC treats each branch as one person.
Tremolo 1: The half note symbolizes Josy and Maya. This also shows us another decision of EP4. All three sleep in two beds pushed together. You only have this option when the MC is in the triple. The whole notes on the right side, are arranged from 1-8 in a straight line (timeline).
Tremolo 2: There are 2 half notes. The interesting thing here is the position of the notes. They go up and down. The bottom notes could represent the first year of college and the top notes could represent the second year of college. If you replace them with numbers, it could be a 69. In EP4, the MC can choose to sleep with Maya in Bed or Josy. Josy is the 6 and Maya is the 9 because they sleep that way too. But it is important to show the mistakes that Josy and Maya make when the MC uses the water slide with Maya.
Josy=6=EP6: Josy has a relationship with Jill and maybe Tybalt on the way of friendship with the MC. This could happen if Jill catches the MC with Isabella. Why. The library scene with Jill, Josy, Maya and the MC. Isabella wants to cut Josy's head off in DnG and Josy dies in all endings. (She loses Maya, but helps Maya later (calendar year 2020) because she wants to be with the MC and has discovered her other side).
Maya=9=EP9: Here I can only speculate myself. But probably Maya will take a deal as Beard for Chad, because there are hints that Maya knows Chad. These clues are in EP2. EP2 is the upper second full class, which is probably also the second year of college.
So I'm strongly assuming that Josy and Maya's mistakes on the way to friendship are a bit more serious. But the players, who don't want Josy and Maya as LI anyway, don't care. But it probably gets worse when the MC fucks with Jade, because then there isn't even a Josy and Maya decision.
The tremolo gives away even more, because it can only be played with plucked instruments, and that's the MC's guitar. Each finger has its own symbol. This could also have a far-reaching meaning. Look at the two pictures of Maya. In EP4, the MC said to Derek just before the Gay Guard Catcher, so Maya might be more malleable than he thinks.
p = thumb (There are too many possibilities for this. (Parents, Lynette's father, porn, etc.)
i = index finger (Stand up, info, vixen (Lisa uses her index finger).
m = middle finger (DPC shows us the middle finger, explanation below).
a = ring finger (Geoff is an alpha, probably Burgmeister or Royce)
c,x,e,q = little finger (Maya's personality. Christy, x is either Cathy or Madame (mask unknown=X), Emily, Quinn).
M is the 13th letter of the alphabet. What is 13? An unlucky number in western countries. And the misfortune will take its course, if the number 2 does not come to it and pushes itself in between. And why? Only if the MC fucks Josy and makes out with Maya in EP2 will he have a chance to get into the group in EP4. Only if he is in the throuple, the MC can trigger the tremolo 1 and 2 from the water park in EP8 and decide actively. If the decision is correct, i.e. Tremolo 1, EP3 and EP4 are set equal and there is no time loop. Bert's formula my dears.
1-3-2-4-3=4
I hope I have made it understandable.
Or maybe DPC just liked the name Tremolo.
