Plot twist. What if in the picture, it's Emmeline and John?
The kids in the photo appear to be about the same age, but there are several years between Emmeline & John.
... ten years between Emmeline and John. Maybe as many as 3-4 years between Emmeline and the child in the photo; that's yet to be confirmed.
I've dealt with a lot of dark shit regarding AVNs, and that scene is definitely up near the top of fucked up shit I've seen, at least when in comes to forced content.
Solomon Hobbs' junkie mom pimped him out to her dealer when he was a literal child. I thought that was way darker.
I wasn't comparing. Given the multiple women beaten to death, the trial about rape and incest, and the sexual abuse Hobbs suffered as a child, there is A LOT of dark shit... Andras' son groomed to become a murderer in his mid-teens would be pretty par for the course, but I don't believe IM really has the son starting covert missions that young.
It doesn't matter what kind of child abuse, they are all equally bad and always leave scars. In the worst case, they never heal!
One of the worst outtake from a story I've ever seen. Have you ever checked who she is? Do you really think she'd change her way of life because of someone else? Can you not notice how predatory she is? It's not a gym she trains, it's her gym. If anyone should change it, it's the other guy. I think she already has a plan, like the murder plan she talked about, make him to leave her territory she is only tolerating his presence. Choosing the gym over best friend is not a thing she'd do. Emmeline probably even knows about the gym situation and most likely she told Malena to let it go.
I do kinda agree on this. It's weird how she acted. Was she scared or there was something we are no aware of. I too was surprised about her refusal though. Also, after everyone including Jamie herself forcing MC to have a relationship with Jamie then her refusal/abandonment is shitty.
To me it felt like she didn't want to take the risk of MC not admitting to his feelings when she had such a great job opportunity on the line. She also has a history with not wanting a long distance relationship (she dropped the dude the moment she went back to California). We also don't know how long she would work at Harvard, so it's possible if she ever returns she will try to start a relationship with him again.
There was even dialogue she had in game about how she was going to take this opportunity since it was too ideal for her plans for the future, and knew how this was going to destroy the MC. It's really shitty, but also really adult. MC was also saying early on that her job was too little for her, and she needed to advance on if she wanted to achieve her potential and plans. It's pretty obvious that she only took the ADA job to be with MC.
She would almost certainly also drop the job for MC, if MC was a couple days faster with admitting it.
See, I don't think that. We don't really see the ambitious side of Jamie, since we mostly see her around the MC. Everybody including the MC remarks on it, though. She's also been pining for him her entire life, so is used to thinking it's not going anywhere. I think she would take the job, and hope that there was a chance in the future to rekindle something, and be very sad that she hurt him so badly.
I disagree. We know she isn't that ambitious herself and if she could do it at her own pace, she would first build up a couple years of experience working at MCs place (she says it a couple of times). I'm still a firm believer that if MC told her before the phone call, she would've made up her mind already to stay with him, especially seeing how long she already wants him.
I actually mostly agree, except that would mean this game ends immediately. It would mean dropping the investigation into his family history, abandoning his "sister" and his sister (whichever Emmaline and Colleen are), and never finding out the story of his life.
I agree, but so far the story has been more or less the same with minor differences depending on which path you take. In your case IM would need to make a completely separate story just for the jamie route (I doubt the others will follow him when he travels to Jamie).
