To be honest, I'm not sure how much content she will have right now. She definitely will not have a fleshed out romance or separate ending.

Why is everyone assuming that Lucy is a brokie who is dusty? She's Charli's agent, and according to everyone in the business who talks about her, she is a ruthless one. She's been earning 15-20% of every contract she has negotiated for her entire career. She also worked as a model herself for a time and that probably gave her some seed capital. To be sure, Charlie has more money (probably 80% more) but with no kids to pay for Lucy has probably been stacking paper for quite some time. It is too bad that she only wants to have one client. I'm sure that Kayla could use a better agent. Even if she only asked for 10% she would be stacking about 150 bucks an hour every time Charli does a photo shoot and nearly $2000 for runway shows and public appearances. Lucy's biggest problem isn't being broke but rather appeasing the tax man. I bet she pays for everything with an expense account just to write it off her taxes.

With considering how clever she is and how relaxed about not having another model, I believe it's safe to assume she has some solid investments. If Charlotte did not allow her to handle her money, I would not be surprised Lucy being richer than Charlotte.

every1, doubt mc has big pension coming and he can't work as bodyguard into his 60s+.
Click to expand...
In terms of real world, you are right. In that regard, his income unless otherwise detailed would be his military pension and income protecting the family. The dev doesn't really get into details around time he served as that would really impact a pension size, if any. It *could* be quite good for a long service length. But then again, that's the real world.

Within the context of this game the MCs finances really mean absolutely nothing. There is no currency or money tracked within the game, and he never seems to be short money when it's needed. As such all economics (salary, pension, Hillside cost of living) are whatever the dev says they are.

Is it realistic for a shy, immature 18-year-old girl to assert that she is not a child anymore, even though she acts like one?

ChatGPT said:

Yes, it is entirely realistic for a shy, immature 18-year-old girl to assert that she is not a child anymore, even if her behavior contradicts her claim. This dynamic reflects a natural tension between identity, maturity, and self-perception. Here’s why:

1. Age and Milestones
Turning 18 is often seen as a symbolic entry into adulthood, with legal and societal responsibilities attached. Even if a person doesn’t feel fully mature, they may assert their adulthood to affirm their independence or because they believe they are expected to do so.

2. Emotional Immaturity vs. Perception of Adulthood
Many 18-year-olds are still figuring out who they are, and their emotional maturity may lag behind their chronological age. Despite this, they may feel compelled to assert their adulthood as a way of claiming their identity or pushing back against perceived condescension.
This gap between behavior and self-perception is common and reflective of the journey from adolescence to adulthood.

3. Rebellion Against Authority
If she feels others are treating her like a child or undermining her autonomy, she might overcompensate by emphatically declaring that she is no longer a child. This response can be a defensive mechanism to establish boundaries or gain respect.

4. Desire for Independence
Even if she’s shy or immature, she may yearn for freedom, self-determination, or validation as an adult. This desire can drive her to assert her adulthood, even if her actions don’t fully align with that role yet.

5. Lack of Self-Awareness
Immaturity often comes with a limited ability to reflect on one’s own behavior. She may genuinely believe she’s acting like an adult, not recognizing how her actions might appear childish to others.

6. Social and Cultural Influences
Cultural expectations around adulthood might play a role. In some cultures, reaching 18 is heavily tied to becoming an adult, regardless of emotional readiness. This societal pressure can lead her to assert her maturity prematurely.

7. Emotional Complexity
Asserting adulthood while acting like a child can reflect the complexity of her feelings. She may simultaneously want to embrace her newfound independence and cling to the safety and simplicity of childhood, creating a tension in her behavior.

Conclusion
This kind of contradiction—declaring “I’m not a child” while behaving immaturely—is not only realistic but also quite common during the transition to adulthood. It provides an excellent opportunity for character development, highlighting the challenges of growing up, navigating independence, and understanding oneself. This dynamic could be used effectively in storytelling to add depth and relatability to her character.


How easily can a shy, sheltered 18-year-old girl, who was abandoned by her father, fall in love with a handsome bodyguard who gives her lots of attention?

ChatGPT said:

The scenario you’ve described provides fertile ground for a romantic connection to develop, especially in a fictional or dramatized context. Here's an analysis of the factors at play:

Emotional Vulnerability:
A shy and sheltered girl may have limited exposure to relationships and emotional connections outside her immediate circle. This can make her more receptive to someone who shows genuine interest or attention, especially if she feels emotionally neglected.
Being abandoned by her father could result in a longing for security, validation, and male attention, potentially making her more susceptible to forming an attachment to someone who fulfills these emotional needs.

Dynamic of the Relationship:
The bodyguard's role naturally involves protecting and prioritizing her well-being. This dynamic can create a sense of safety and trust, which are foundational for emotional intimacy.
His handsomeness and attentiveness could amplify her attraction, especially if she hasn't experienced much positive male attention before.

Power Imbalance and Heroic Perception:
The bodyguard might be perceived as strong, capable, and dependable—qualities that might stand out to someone who feels vulnerable or inexperienced in relationships.
The power imbalance in their relationship (his role as a protector and her dependence on him for safety) could lead her to idealize him, even if unintentionally.

Pacing of Emotional Connection:
If he is consistently kind, supportive, and attentive over time, her feelings could naturally deepen. However, the intensity of her emotions might also be heightened by her sheltered upbringing, as the experience could feel novel and overwhelming.

Psychological Projection:
She might subconsciously project her need for security and love onto him, mistaking gratitude or admiration for romantic love.

Potential Complications:
The relationship’s foundation matters. If her feelings stem solely from dependency or lack of experience, the bond may be less stable in the long term.
The bodyguard's response to her feelings would also influence the outcome—whether he reciprocates, maintains professional boundaries, or exploits her vulnerability.

In summary, it's quite plausible for a shy, sheltered girl to develop strong feelings for a protective and attentive bodyguard, given her background and emotional needs. The depth and authenticity of her love would depend on how the relationship evolves and whether it allows her to grow beyond her initial vulnerabilities. This dynamic could work well in a story, creating room for emotional complexity and character development.

I think you missed the part where I said I was "liking" emma. I said I'm on chap 11 as of now didn't I ? maybe I may change my opinion as the game unfolds for me. Still, I ain't a know-all to tell someone whether a game's for somebody or not "bruh", and maybe you have played it till the recent update and I ain't there yet and I can understand that but why are you so defensive did I say I absolutely hate emma or something? I just meant she's too much sometimes like how TF can she be this naive she literally pushes people who care about her away thinking they are either mean like David, (buddy got ganged up for her) and she thought he was mean you would think that after witnessing her friend with that little idiot she would develop some kind of maturity she's 18 for f*cks sake, but no she said her friend was at fault , same with MC he isn't a friend whom she's been close to for a month but how much has she known or talked to that so called love of his life? she never questioned why he was mean when he asked her out saying " even if you're fat I don't mind and all that" or when he asked for her pic I mean where's the thinking, BUT maybe things change as I play and perhaps she will start to see things and judge things clearly I ain't judging the whole game or anything heck I even want the charlotte marriage thingy to come true soon and maybe a good end with kaylah and lucy, just some things which in my personal opinion I find strange and ridiculous that's it, cuz I have never come across a girl so naive at her age I mean not at that kind level and I have had my fair share of knowing girls in high school, college and even in university but that's just my opinion .

MAYBE you shouldn't give your "opinion" until you have played all of what is currently available? I agree, you have a right to an opinion, but please remember, so do people who read what you post!

yupp completely agree with your " so do people who read what you post" BUT I ain't forcing someone on what to do and what not to do am I?

yes I posted it way early before completing till the current update but that doesn't mean that I didn't have to and during that time I was at that part where emma was starting to get annoying for me so I posted it.
it's not like I feel the same way about emma I already moved past that so chill out
you don't have to take it personally.
