In the update before version 0.53, there’s a scene that takes place if you choose to spend time with Sheril instead of Bethany (her doctor friend). Diana goes to Sheril’s place and ends up staying the night. While Diana takes a bath, Sheril joins her, and as they share the tub, Sheril opens up about how terrified she was of Paul’s bodyguard. She describes his intimidating size and the power he radiated when he was with Paul.
As Sheril talks, Diana begins to drift into memories of the traumatic event with the bodyguard at her own house. The scene cuts to flashbacks of him standing in front of her, choking her from behind, while the soundtrack builds with tension. Watching this, I couldn’t help but wonder, although Diana is clearly threatened by the memory, could there be an unconscious sexual element to her fear? It’s not that she would ever consider the moment ‘hot,’ but could there be some hidden, primal attraction to that kind of intense dominance, something she's unaware of?
I’d love to hear others' thoughts on this, and maybe even insights from the dev himself.
