I never really like to give definitive answers on character motivations.. But, let’s look at the evidence.NeonGhosts as usual I love your well thought post and onto why you do certain things. I do have a question if it isn't to much of a spoiler. When Risa gave Guy the drugs is she actually trying to stay clean or was it because she was going to be searched. I want to say she wants to stay clean for real especially after she told her story but it was a question that was in the back of my mind since I played. Also I love the Risa storyline it's my favorite right now initially I had my doubts but you managed to surprise me with how good it turned out to be
We know that Risa smokes weed and uses Adderall. That’s the extent of her drug use we’ve seen in person. These are both things that are likely legal, in her city.
When you first meet Lucien in Chapter 8, he tells her he thought she quit using. So, we can assume they haven’t seen each other for a while.
She takes some roxicodone with Lucien, and he comments on one path that she used to have a higher tolerance. So, she probably hasn’t used opioids in a while, and she willingly gives up the drugs, or disposes of them at the first opportunity.
And finally, she lives in such a way that it would be hard for her to even have the privacy to purchase/abuse drugs, unless they were allowed to her.
Combine all this, and the evidence leans towards her no longer abusing some of the more dangerous and addictive drugs she once did.
It’s also worth pointing out that she was suffering from withdrawals in Chapter 8. Pale, sweaty, dilated pupils.. Also known as: symptoms of anxiety or a panic attack.
