I need to play through slowly again to figure out why Carli should care that the MC beds Stella at Awakenings... In that route, Carli asks about what happened and you have the option to lie, but of you don't then the MC says that Carli "deserves" to know the truth... Why? What gives her a right to that information? When you rescue Mi-do, she doesn't ask, and besides SHE admits to having gotten Stella into the whole "open marriage" sexscapade anyway. Why would she have negative feelings about the PI who'd followed Stella already and who goes to prostitutes like HERSELF also being part of Stella's adventures?
I'm just curious. I get that it may have simply been a way for the author to insert a choice with immediate negative consequences that pay off positively later if the player invested in that NPC's score, it just kinda broke the plot a bit for me...
