That is interesting. I don't have any saves up to ep4 where Monica refused the blowjob from the stranger. My testing was done by starting a new game in ep4 and answering the questions briefly. You have a choice of "Monica works at Mommy's whore spot" or "Monica didn't bother with the streets at all". Do you know what action does the game consider starting the falling path? Is simply showing your body, while fully clothed to one of the slum dwellers once, enough to allow Monica to suddenly decide to work on the streets in ep4? Or even worse is advertising the kebabs enough?It's not that simple...If we take my Monica's journey (decent playthrough), here's what it looks like in the context of all the episodes.
then after Monica's little monologue is the scene of her first introduction to prostitutes. (yes, I remember about the grey mouse). So we have Ep4v1 and the opportunity to join the Work fom Mommy prostitutes for the first time! However, even without ever working for this pimp or even approaching or interacting with her, such a Monica can still get a Glory Hole scene in v2. Below I'll explain why this is possible.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

To summarize the above.
In my opinion, it would be more correct if the huge "Slum Prostitution" path and the equally huge "Shinу Hole" path were not hardwired to each other. Plus, it goes against the game's concept, which states that most paths are independent of each other and the player can only choose what they like.
Obviously this doesn't always work when it comes to the main Office/Photoshoot storyline, but that's where the "rules have their own rules"...
But when two side and simultaneously gigantic storylines (Shiny Hole and Slum Prostitution) become tied to each other, the variation and ability to abandon one (Prostitution) without sacrificing the other (Shiny Hole) is lost, and thus a certain freedom of choice is lost, which is not a good thing. (imo)
So I can see someone who has played through the game with actual saves imported into ep4 can start the mommy prostitution in ep4 even if you chose to turn down the strangers blowjob offer. And as long as you had Monica show off her body in the ally at least once, or whatever the game considers has started the falling path, this will be possible. However if you start a new playthrough at ep4 and choose "Monica didn't bother with the streets at all" the ep4 Shiny Hole content will be locked. At least as of ep4v5.
