this game is number 1 with no doubt

As I said before, its too much open to interpretation to make good assumptions about dialogue so early on. We literally dont know anything about Bella's husband and the dialogue in the library can be seen in multiple ways. For instance, a foreshadowing of Bella guilt over cheating her maimed (or maybe on coma) husband, leading to her hurting (or maybe killing herself)... or something dark. Thing is... we dont know. "Help", as far as we know now, can be for every character in the game. One thing is for sure, cheating on a absent husband is one hell of guilt trip to this lady and a huge deal. I am pretty sure there will be some sort of consequences... I am just not sure in what extent and what shape.

Here's my two cents, Bella's husband is out of the picture but now by his own volition, meaning he's alive but somehow unable to be with Bella... like I said, either maimed or in a coma. But Bella loves him still (all the "Carnal" talk and what not), has "urges" she can't control and she has a massive guilt ridden persona that can will have a huge impact on her. The outcome will be dark, but I think its more about personal demons than doing harm to others. Bella just slowly growing into acceptance her husband is not healing back/waking up from a long coma... until he is, and the "fun" she had with the MC is going to explode in her face, but because of her own guilt and not the actions themselves.

Personally i really think it has something to do with cheating on her. Because in episode 6 ( i think ) she is saying "you become an adulltress the thing you most hate." And in episode 5 ( also not sure, mixing them up a little ) Bella says she forgave him allready.

As for the soldier - as a person who is guilty of consuming alcohol in large quantities (infrequently, but still) I can say that it was nothing more than an unconscious projection of what MC saw in the picture in the same room onto a mannequin (this kind of nonsense happened to me once). The picture itself is not shown to us, but its frame is visible. Later, Isabella will hide the picture, apparently in the same place where she hid all the photos except for the one in her bedroom. My opinion is that she hid all this in a closed room and that is why it is closed (Jill is surprised when MC says that the room is closed, it means it was open before).

In this picture, most likely there was a photo of her husband, who is apparently a military man.

And MC didn't said he should've ran away - he said "I would have called out for help" (you literally can see it on your own pics) what means later he knew what happened to Isabella (it doesn't have to be something dire).

It has never been said that James is in the military, that is an assumption based on the fact that MC saw what looked like a soldier while drunk. During the free roam in chapter 5 (or maybe 6, the morning after MC drives Cathy home) we see what appears to be James and Bella's wedding photo and he looks nothing like the soldier.

The 'soldier' actually looks like Burke

now she has even symbolically removed her ring (I believe that she has not removed it permanently, it would create too many questions in those who know her a change of this kind from Jill to the other teachers)

Bella removing her ring isnt symbolical, it's her making the decision to take the next step with MC. They talked about it and will go start dating. Sincerely thinking the picture DPC posted is from their first date.

What i keep wondering is how Jill will respond if she sees Bella without the ring. Jill sure does have her suspicion allready at several moments.
I really think, but hope i am so wrong, that it will be the "big decision" in episode 8 where DPC hinted at. Jill or Bella...

I don't expect this game to go beyond college, in which case, I wouldn't imagine any of the stories to end "Happily Ever After", he's just having a "fucking" good time.

These girls will all have a special place in the mc's heart, but ultimately, it's just young love (mixed with some old love in the case of Jade, Cathy and Bella).

So yeah, I don't see a long term relationship evolving with Bella. I don't even know what she's thinking with wanting to start dating the mc. Maybe she's doing it for herself, to get over her 3 year slump.

So going back to the idea that the mc probably won't get married straight after college, here's the perfect epilogue:

https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-v0-7-2-dr-pinkcake.25332/post-4769240​

rarely does an ending ever give reassurance about happily ever after, and even when it does the whole thing boils down to a few family photographs that, at least personally, have very little meaning.

the stories of youthful loves are pervaded with melancholy even when they end well, but only in retrospect, but at that age every love is the great love of life, only in retrospect does it become "only" an important relationship, there and then they are eternal.

as a "happy" ending I expect that the couple will have solved every problem they encountered (the loan issue, every bereavement, family problems etc etc) and that at that moment they can really think of being happy forever, then whether they will be or not doesn't matter to anyone, did those 20 year olds ever care?

In my opinion it is a symbolic gesture, Bella starts to think about what her life can be like.

A married woman who stops wearing a wedding ring creates a lot of curiosity, and I don't think that's what Bella wants. imagine Burke noticing. it's too soon for Bella to even mention it to Jill, let alone the whole college.

it would not be a great decision really, how many players are actually pursuing both girls? i think very few and those who do are quite aware that sooner or later hell will break loose

 

[Deleted member 4143502]

actually, it's futurama =P


also that "familiar redhead" sort of gave me ptsd

No joke, Leah's model plus the whole Matrix vibes of that scene, I half expected someone to pull a gun on MC when not-Leah looked back to MC. I tensed up in that "oh fuck its going down" anticipation for a second.

Well, we're obviously coming to some big fucking "Crossroads" in this next episode. Jill is gonna spit it once she finds out Bella is dating the mc too.

 

[Deleted member 4143502]

How do you guys think Jill will react to Bella/MC? Assuming you're also on Jill's path. I used to think she'd blow her lid, but after her reaction to the presentation debacle, I dunno anymore. Probably some feelings of betrayal, but I'm thinking she'll be more "pity me, woe is me" more than "that deceitful bitch!", you know? Less overt anger, and more "I'm so sad".

She's going to around informing the entire school that she's single now? Sounds a little out of character for her tbh

 

[Sexypeasan]

I like to see girls sharing, Marx would be proud.

Am I the only one who wants to see a scene with Elena? the seed is already planted, I hope something happens at the Halloween party.

I will even endure having John Boy in the same room while the plumbing is happening, that's how much of a horndog I am.

With this you made me think if my save with Jill also has Bella.... Damn, I'm going to have to do another run to make sure.

maybe I didn't explain it well, but that's what I meant. if Bella started to show herself without the wedding ring surely someone would notice and the curiosity about her would increase.

Great render! Lighting, how well the clothes fit on the heroes.

the only danger is that a double knockout is triggered... like with Maya and Josy

Taking into account that my runs with Jill are purely for completism, and they are usually the last ones I play, it doesn't affect me that much...
On the other hand, I do know that my main run will suffer in episode 8.
(my main run Sage and M&J)... that Halloween party can be the tomb of my run.

Eh, people have more important things to think about then whether or not a woman is wearing her wedding ring. No one says anything about the MC's post with her in a bikini. I think she'll be alright. The only person who might notice and say something is Jill.

even Burke and Jade for opposite reasons I am sure would notice it... probably even the nerds
but anyway, even if it was only Jill, it would be enough to put the ring back on.

we have to assume that no one watches what the kids post otherwise there would have been a series of shocking revelations by now....
