there are two macro possibilities upstream of the scene: it could be a scene in which the chosen LI participates or a scene always with Jill
I lean toward the second possibility since the first never occurred.
if something happened at the halloween party it would make more sense there would be Sage, who is as responsible as MC, or Maya and Josy who will be attending the party anyway. the presence of Jill would be less logical
there is one detail however that intrigues me, Jill seems more to accuse MC of something than to console him (unlike Bella and Sage in their previews)
Good observation.
With Jill's facial expression, I also think so she is asking the MC something. For example, "How could this have happened?" But I don't think so something happened at the Halloween party, because then the MC would probably still be in his costume.
Another thing occurred to me while I was working. What if there was a car accident?
- In EP1, the MC thinks evil of Steve. "Dad's Mustang."
- Since EP6 Rusty is often in the car and in EP8 once with Tommy and later at the end with Mischa.
- In EP5, the MC is able to make a joke after driving Cathy home in Isabella's car.
- In EP2, Neil calls out to a young construction worker to put on his helmet. This guy looks a lot like Rusty.
- Just before the last freeroam event of EP8, the MC is wearing a shirt with a mariachi guitar player on it and they play at funerals. Next to the MC are Luis, Neil, Rusty and Leon. All but Rusty leave and Rusty offer the MC the job as party planner.
Because of Rusty, Jill would also go to the hospital to assist the MC and the MC would probably need that too.
