Yeah, the only thing I worry is that we are nearly at the end of the game and she won't have much time for proper progress compared to other characters.
By the way... I forgot but at the Christmas party we have bowl mission to dress up like the Santa or give it to Tommy. Did I miss something or actually we cannot give it to Tommy and in fact this is just solo/relationship safety check decision?
There's like at least 5 more episodes coming. And iirc dpcs early estimates were somewhere around 12 eps? But then the game grew in size and some were saying even double the estimate.
Currently we are at the end of the semester, game was supposed to cover whole year, so unless we have a big time skip I don't see the game ending anytime soon.
I get that 11th episode ending can feel like game's ending, but dpc can turn it around quite easily like he already did with previous cliffhangers.
Also counting min 5 more episodes is like 7+ years, so that's a shit ton of time.
As for the Santa quest - yeah I wanted to leave it for Tommy to uplift his spirits, but I didn't notice changes either, but dpc can always add something next ep, so who knows.
