Sorry, that sob story was not even close to a good enough excuse. She had far too many chances to not be an idiot and somehow managed to take the wrong turn every time. She would have needed to be kidnapped or in a coma or in jail or something similarly debilitating to explain dropping off the face of the earth for three fucking months without so much as a text.
On top of that, I showed zero interest in her after her return and I even specifically told her that she did lose me in no uncertain terms, yet she still casually strolled into the bedroom naked expecting to get some action. To add insult to injury, with no prompting from the player, the MC calls her the smart one and offers a job which requires good judgment to this person who has done nothing in this entire story except repeatedly demonstrate poor judgment.
Honestly, at this point, all my eggs are in the Gabby basket. If that route goes to shit, I'm out. It's unfortunate, because the writing is on the better end of the porn game writing spectrum in basically every way except the most important to me: making me like the potential love interests. I assume that's because the writer wants to give the player some superficial reasons to rationalize being a monster to them in the dark path. All it does instead is make me wonder why he, as probably the most eligible bachelor in the entire city, doesn't just pull up a dating app and match with someone who has their shit together.
