Go back to the conversation with the bar keep, he left not because she told him to, that was the excuse. He left because he was in love with her. He had already decided before the party that he was leaving and taking a year off. Instead of staying and dealing with whatever the outcome of that was he ran away. Seriously who in their right mind would run away because their teenage sister said she hated him and wanted him gone in a moment of anger. Even he knew that was not what she really wanted. Jaye was even pleading with him after a few month to come back, yet he still fucked off for 5 years. I've seen more effort from her to repair than from him.I don't think he was a coward 5 years ago. He literally did what she asked for, getting out of her way, for good. That's a grave Jaye dugged by herself. As the great English striker said: Chat shit get banged.
Now leaving to Aspen for 3 months in the present, that was a shit move, I do agree with that. He was an idiot not to clear the air about everything, but then again, it feels more like "plot reasons", than any real one.
Yeah I know it's plot reasons, I just reckon they could have done it a lot better. Hell they could even have agreed to a coffee, got heated said shit they'll regret and then he can move on, but no he did nothing.
Again this not like other games where we see the girls thoughts or hear what they say to others, everything has been purely from his perspective. I 100% agree Jaye has done a lot wrong is to blame for a lot of stuff, but as the saying goes it takes two to tango. I despise weak characters, and those who abandon their family even more, so I'm projecting a bit probably. His running away twice, his not sticking around even for a brief conversation. He didn't even give Jaye a chance to apologize for accusing him of not calling, sure she blocked his number 5 years before when she was hurt and angry, but seemed genuinely surprised it still was. Then in the lawyers office when George said Mallory was coming he didn't even question it. He should have demanded a lot of answers right then.
I'm just heaping more blame at him than at her because I believe he should have tried more than he did, or even at the very least try find out if she was ok. One of the worst things we can do to our loved ones (friends and family) is assume stuff without find out the truth. There are plenty reasons she could have not answered his call, lost or stolen phone, changed number (unlikely), but he just jumps to the assumption she doesn't want to talk to him.
Ok I've said it enough times now. Also replayed some of the intro again to check things where how I remembered them. From the way things ended I really can't see any way she could posibibly bring rapey-mcfuckface as her plus 1. Dev's please don't fuck that up.
