Because Julia is their favorite and they cannot comprehend that some people don't like her. It's been pretty much kinetic for quite some time. Right at the start say you don't want to join book club 3 times, and still do, say no to hanging out with Julia, still do. Say you don't want Chloe's help, use her help. I stopped playing properly when I'd only followed 1 girl and then at a party MC is freaking out cause all 5 girls are there and might find out? There's nothing to find out, and I'm suddenly making out with Julia. I'm only following it now and checking gallery, to see if there is any improvement in player agency, to pick it up again.
