Noooo!!! You turned sweet Jessica into a prostitute (and a very young looking one at that)
I thought I was the only one that thought she seems
too young.
However, I now have to rant again on the usual sticking point of Rose and the Mafia. We are constantly being told that Rose and Mike are good people without anything to back up these claims!
No,
ETHAN says that constantly, not the game. We are
constantly reminded this is not the case, at least for Rose. We were told she's a bitch by another guy, remember? Of course, that guy died shortly after by Rose, proving beyond doubt that Rose is anything but good.
She
constantly barages us with "I am evil" stuff. Like "People are afraid of you" "Good". And "I sexually assault my employees and grab their dick because I wanted to win a contest with a brothel madam. I had to humiliate you to get her to work for us. Whether I won or lost the bet while you were being humiliated, it didn't matter for the job. But I don't like losing so I had to humiliate you beforehand by stripping you down and grabbing your dick."
It may be that Ethan is starving for attention and wants to believe Rose is good inside without anything to back it up. Same as deathsquad members idolize their leader as being just.
OR ...
... it could be Rose's superpower. <=== this is what I believe: She influences Ethan with her superpower. Even Ethan comments on how chill he was when a guy's brains were splattered on the floor in front of him.
Rose's family loyalty:
I don't consider family loyalty that crosses into "Wear my dead brother's clothes to our date. And wear them the next day." is a good thing.
Nope. There is not a single good thing about Rose.
Heck, she even
blueballs Ethan by playing coy, and then telling him shit like "remember your place!"
WTF?! That's a visual novel but it's also a
porn game! Friendzoned in a porn game!?!?
What kind of sadistic maniac does that?!
Loyalty superpower:
About Gina being in love before that kicked in in overdrive, weeeeeeell... I am not sure but papa-John (that I bet he's not dead) said something that sounded like
slowing the effects, not eliminating them.
Ethan admits in Ep1 and Ep2 I think that he had
never a problem to get hook ups in high school without even trying. Gina was with him
constantly for a decade. She was certainly hooked by his power IMO.
I guess you can sum it up to having a huge sex-appeal at the state Ethan is at the time. Sonic didn't auto-fall in love with him and she showed immediately she was interested (hopefully before the effect kicked in). You can't accuse someone for rape if he draws them in with his sex appeal, right?
That is... if you want to rationalize it and sleep better at night.
IMO, Ethan should take steps to minimize this mind-fuck power or he would never ever have a normal relationship. Both Sonic and Gina
obsess over him.
