As quickly as it escalated, I'm glad the Carter situation resolved when it did, because I was finding it excruciating that the MC was having Inspector Gadget levels of obliviousness regarding Carter's involvement. I know there's such a thing as dramatic irony when the audience is in on something the main characters are not, but when you're playing AS the MC, it's just excruciating to have to sit through the stupider decisions. (Using "decisions" loosely here, as I don't think we've made any of the actual bodyguard decisions, just "how friendly/romantic/fatherly do we want to be" decisions.) I think the Dev is knocking down all the red herrings (or partial red herrings, since it's not as though they have zero involvement), until eventually we learn who the "final" stalker is. I'm thinking MC's buddy Steve, who we saw at the mall and who's trying to get the mom to the bar. But I hope I'm wrong.

Most probably the MC is having another nightmare and Emma overheard him but Emma holding the pink teddy makes this all too creepy for me

Whatever the reason it maybe, seeing Emma and the MC as a couple does not sit right with me so I am dropping this game.

Emma has always been a LI, her route just didn't develop until something happened to make her stop from swooning over Zac.

Now that the stalker is dead and Zac is probably dead, Emma will start to view MC as her savior and in doing that will realize that MC is actually pretty much everything she wanted Zac to be.

I think her route will be locked behind not being with the other LI's though. This is pretty obviously a single LI game, and Emma is the "prize" LI.

I think if MC is with another of the girls, Emma will date that other boy from school that has a crush on her. I think both routes, Emma/MC and Emma/School friend, will be pretty wholesome. And I think, at least for the Emma/MC route, it'll be Emma who initiates things.

Which opens up more questions concerning the other ladies.
Mainly Charlotte because if you do treat her bad then she will have no feeling towards the MC so will she just ride off into the sunset searching for her love?
Emma is so naive/immature and looks like a 14 yrs old even though she is supposed to be 18( I think it was).
How the transformation of Emma from a young naive/immature to a mature/confident looking lady I don't know but the dev is supposed to making a statement on this sometime.
Emma looks very young,acts like a kid

Sorry to hear, but I'm not certain that is a sure thing.
I will keep an eye on the game but I am waiting for the devs statement on this matter.
I have really enjoyed this game and in any case Charlotte would still be my number 1 choice but the MC with Emma is just too creepy for me(personal choice here.

Well, it's your decision to drop the game because of that. I for myself can't really see why you have to do that. If you don't like her in that way, you also don't have to force you to do her route. It's a game were you have to decide between the four li's anyway. Don't get me wrong, her behaviour is somtimes very immature. But she's a sheltered 18 (ok, maybe 16+) year old girl who had her first crush. Well, I'm really curious now how DB is pushing her to become a BELIEVABLE li for the MC. But I think he has already a plan for that, too.

I don't think you have to worry about seeing anything you don't like in this VN. DB's done a good job of letting the player decide how the Li's feel towards the MC. If you make the choice that Charlotte is just a client then she has no interest in the MC regardless of the choices you've made. If you're with Lucy the MC turns down Kaylah right away. The only complications seem to be if you're in a relationship with Lucy and you choose the option to have feelings for Charlotte, Charlotte tells Lucy she has felings for the MC and Lucy has a minor mental breakdown. Based on the structure so far I think if Emma does get feelings for the MC it will only be on a path where he isn't in deep with Lucy or Charlotte.

I don't think resolved is the right word to use here. The MC is now a cop killer - pretty sure the detectives that will investigate his death will be looking at the MC. Unless they dig up some dirt on Carter the MC is in trouble. Just his word and that of two hysterical women who he is connected with. I don't think that counts for much when you have killed a cop. That FBI agent needs to come through, or the MC is toast.

This is another blackmail opportunity for Zak. If he survives, he can help get MC out of trouble by telling the cops that Carter stabbed him and use that as leverage. Otherwise, he can say that MC stabbed him.
