Finished my Sage with Jade run (no video leaked) and damn, this is very different. Sage's entire route feels doomed. She doesn't know it, but the main problem is in the MC. Jade in Ep.9 said: "Guilt will eat you alive" and she was right.
MC, being a good guy by default, is in a permanent guilt trip, which prevents their relationship from developing. He is under constant stress being with Sage and thinks that her parents' divorce is his fault.
After he apologizes for the situation with Zoey on the standard run, Sage pays him a visit, but not here. He declines and says he's busy, while in reality he's in another bout of guilt.
As with any path with Jade, MC talks to Derek about Sage, but here it's worse, MC hasn't figured out who Sage is to him, it's up to the player, and Derek gives the same advice to break up with her. But the most doomer moment is MC's internal monologue after he and Sage had a whiskey party and she told him at her real mother's, calling MC
her rock.
And no love confession from MC at the end. Mood after the run:
