You totally dodged a bullet there. You may not know this, but if you agreed with felicemastronzo on this topic, you'd probably be banned!I agree with Shazba. It doesn't matter, but not because I don't like to criticize DPC and also not because of any NTR-related matter; it's so because: 1) I think it was a bad conception in the first place: Sage doesn't fit the dumb-blonde-bimbo stereotype, thus she and Chad doesn't fit together, and we're left with this "mystery"; 2) trying to solve it would in fact be a workaround... like a "patch", and it would have to be made in one of those expository pauses in the narrative, which are bad per se.
As we can learn from one of the best books in scriptwriting, Robert McKee's Story:
And exposition that doesn't blend into the action is bad because it's easy. It's way harder to be creative and show the information needed surreptitiously than to pause the story and do one of those prologues or interludes.
So, Sage & Chad relationship is bad because the audience can't reasonably and easily assume why it has happened. But trying to fix would be worst, because the missing fact doesn't cause confusion, and trying to fix it would make us endure another one of those bad expository pieces that aren't parsed out in the main plot action.
But it's possible you did agree with felice, because the reason he's pushing his requirement for an explanation is because he believes their relationship doesn't make any sense. So you may not be out of the woods yet!
