Where it breaks down, for me, is the aftermath. If the goal was to make an example to show what happens when you step outside, giving Quinn herself a beating would've been the move. After all, that's what he did with Vinny. It could be that he was held back by some sentimentality for Rox, but Buddy states repeatedly that he doesn't even want Quinn around and that Rox is the only reason he took her in, so that seems unlikely. More affection from him could've changed that narrative, giving a reasonable excuse for letting her off.

If the goal was to strike at Quinn personally by targeting her friend, trying to break her down inside, then why the fuck would you let her go? Keep her hostage until you're sure Quinn is obedient and dancing to your tune, no matter how reluctantly. Because if you don't have any remaining leverage over her, what's to stop her from, oh I don't know, dropping a dime and bringing a raid down on you?

Tl;dr the price issue is a legitimate concern for Buddy, even though plenty of people don't seem to grasp that, but the way they treated Riona was a weird middle ground that shouldn't have happened.
Perhaps there are other friends of Rox who are still around? It is possible that they told Buddy to take care of Quinn because they are incapable of doing so for various reason. If this is the case, Buddy was simply afraid of retalation if he hurt Quinn.

Another possibility is Quinn's foster family. While we know nothing of them, there is possibility that they are connected to law enforcement, althout its unlikely. Larger possibility is that they still try to be involved in Quinn's life and would simly go to the police is something bad would happen to her.

Where does the game show this?

We know the VIP room customers get sex from the strippers.

The game specifically tells us on the Nicole route that Nicole no longer does that.
But nothing on the Lily route says that.

All we know is that the DIKs haven't had sex with lily. But she could just have refused VIP sex with them because she knows them.

I feel like people don't want to think that Lily is fucking customers in the VIP room, but while the game tells us that Nicole doesn't do that it says nothing about Lily.

Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer it if the game clarifies that at some point and says she only strips.
You want me to give you a quote that says Lilly is a virgin? Yeah, there's no such quote, and maybe Lilly worked in the VIP room a couple of times, but if you read between the lines, it's clear Lilly isn't the type of character who would do it full-time. For her, Pink Rose is just a way to make money. She's happy with the money she gets paid just for dancing. Based on her backstory, it's clear why she's not serious about nudity, but she definitely wouldn't like some drunk jerk screwing her in a club. Like when that jock hit on her at the HOTs party.

She worked at the Rose even before she went to college. All the Dicks knew Lilly only because she worked at the Pink Rose. If she'd refused, then who was she sleeping with? As far as I'm concerned, students would be the best option for her.

And I wouldn't care if she slept with anyone, I just don't see it in her character. Yeah, they said that about Nicole, but that doesn't mean anything. They also said that Quinn doesn't kiss guys or suck dick, but that's not true. Just like Nicole doesn't sleep with guys, but for $4, yes. Just because someone works at Pink Rose doesn't mean they're 100% hooking up for money. It's just an optional extra, just like with Rose. Cindy obviously does this with rich men. Tanya only sleeps with Tommy. Lilly only sleeps for tequila, and only because she liked the MC.

Do you think that the locked room reveal will be related to Lynette then?
The locked room reveal is going to be a let down. Brace yourself for disappointment after years of hyping the "locked door". Unless Bella is pulling a Norman Bates, it's to be a crypto mining room or a baby/child room. Then we'll see MC running like a Pussy, "I didn't know you had a baby." and sulks for a few weeks.

It's more like Neil and Bella knew each other before, not Linnet. The stereotypical shared song is reminiscent of first love. All of this seems more like DPC is casting Bella as a mother figure.

You think these friends would care for Linnet's son, but they didn't even find out the cause of their friend's death? Like she died after giving birth, leaving behind a child. That's only possible if Neil lied about the child dying.

Let's say Linnet and Bella were friends. So what? That doesn't contribute to the plot. It doesn't introduce Tremolo to his grandfather.
There was some large painting in Bella's office that she put away somewhere. Maybe it's now hanging in a locked room.
It's wide enough for four or five friends to share, but who the hell hangs a big photo on the wall?
Another weird thing is the Bella family finances. During Tybalt's presentation, Jill points out that Bella doesn't live in a poor neighborhood. She even has a swimming pool at home. Her parents may have been wealthy, but now, as a teacher and librarian, she doesn't have the savings to open her own bookstore.
How many times must I state my belief that none of Lynette's friends know she is dead? It was not Neil who hid the fact but Lynette's parents. Lynette's friends did not choose to leave Neil and MC to themselves. They do not know their help was needed.

I guess we'll find out at some point (hopefully).

It just didn't feel like Lily would say:

ly "I can only do the things I do {b}because{/b} I haven't fallen for someone."

If she was just talking about stripping.
I don't think stripping bothers her and it definitely doesn't bother the MC - he's after Nicole and she is definitely not quitting stripping, she has no other real way to make sufficient money.

Yeah, probably a child room for Bella's unborn baby (miscarriage) or died child (terrible illness)...

Have you followed Quinn's journey to the end of Episode 11?

After Rox's death (which I think was Buddy's fault), Quinn was sent to an orphanage, told her parents could no longer care for her. Then a regular family adopted her. They tried to raise her properly, fearing that her genetics would lead her to follow in her parents' footsteps, but the strict restrictions only heightened her interest. She was also forbidden from seeing her Uncle Buddy.
Because he was Quinn's only connection with her father, she began visiting him frequently. He taught her a lot about drugs: how to sell, how not to overdose, etc.
Her adoptive parents know she's been hanging out with Buddy, and that's why they're now disappointed in Quinn. Or something like that, it doesn't matter.
He only did it so she would work for him in the future. Buddy doesn't have any good feelings towards either Quinn or Rox.

The only way that I would be disappointed is if it was something silly:
Of course! How could I have missed all the signs! The locked room clearly leads to a sprawling underground complex containing:
  • James, lying in a hospital bed on life support
  • A drug lab, where she manufactures for Buddy
  • A sex dungeon
  • A secret planning room with an evidence board that Bella is using to bring down Magnar & the Nerds
  • A room containing all of James' belongings and a shrine with his ashes
  • An adjacent room with a shrine to Tremolo who she has been stalking
  • A nursery for her deceased child
  • Liam from Acting Lessons
In reality as long as the locked room leads to Bella confronting her past trauma I'll probably be satisfied. I'll be sticking with the general consensus of the baby room unless I'm convinced otherwise.

far enough ;)
Josy is yours, and Nicole is mine.
I think that makes us both happy.
You show Josy a lot of affection, and that's better than what others do.
Many don't like her or just want to fuck her brains out and put her in a harem with other girls.

I'll translate this phrase from feminine language into human language:
I won't be able to undress and dance in front of other men if I'm in a relationship with you. I'll feel like I'm cheating on you. Tremolo, do something about it. Let's just fuck, or find a good job so I can pay for my studies without working at a streep club.

I know you're joking, but I'll respond seriously.

The Lily character I see in game is not at all ashamed of stripping.
It's a means to an end. She has no problem with it.
If a guy/boyfriend tried to shame her or make her stop she would dump him in a second.

She wouldn't feel it's cheating just strippng in front of customers.

Now, fucking customers on the other hand - that she would feel is a step too far and wouldn't fit with her being in a relationship.

I guess when she inevitably gives in to her feelings we'll see what she meant by that phrase.

She can't resist the MC much longer.. :p

So originally Lily's plan was become a stripper and then use those earnings for college to become a nurse.

However, if the MC is pursuing Lily, it throws a wrench at her plan because now there is someone that is interested in her (not for being a smokeshow or something like that) and ofc she would feel that the stripper portion of the plan is now in danger.

So I believe if you went gentle indicates (Romance path) or Rough indicates (FWB Path)
