This is one of the situations where you need to activate your porn logic emergency button.
The Mia documentary is...lets say a plot device, pretty crude tbh but it does the job.
Absolutely even if we accept the fact that Mia was helping her to try the things that Lacey "missed out on", gangbangs are usually not in the "let's help this traumatized girl" handbook.
Plus Lacey describes most of the sex as abusive and hard on her.
Mia is literaly a monster, that used Lacey as a toy for 2 years, but hey she's 'funny' right? Lets keep her around.
She admits that Lacey came back desperate and crying every time and Lacey admits that she wanted to please Mia, her only friend, so she went through with her suggestions.
Even when Mia says she understood Lacey was a broken shell of a girl she still pimps her out to Isaac.
Because that is what it was, pimping a naive brain damaged trauma filled girl.
The author dropped the ball on this, or at least on the Mia redemption arc, but it seems he has a big issue with making his female characters face consequences.
If you want I can bash Mia for hours, just let me know.
Look, at the cost of repeating myself for the 1 millionth time, Lacey fucks up and is VERY self centered and selfish in her actions.
She does the thing that at the moment brings her the most satisfaction, no matter the consequences.
Honestly, her brain damage is written in a bit of cartoonish way, but it is not completely unbelievalbe, granted how a person like this can actually keep a job is very weird.
She never misses a day or a deadline even if from what we are told she shouldn't be able to deal with the pressure or the commitment.
Why is she obedient and non confrontational to the point of submission with everyone except MC?
I just went through one of the last discussions that MC has with Mia.
Mia keeps on pointing out that the problem is that Lacey had pleasurable sex with other men during college.
BZZZZT WRONG.
The actual problem MC had was being abandoned, come on we are not at elementary school where to have a relationship you need to write on a piece of paper "want to be my gf yes or no?" .
You can have relationships without telling each other that you are bf and gf.
In fact, Lacey disagrees with you, I don't know at what part of the game you are, so I won't spoil, but she definitelly disagree with your statement.
The big elephant in the room is the fact that Lacey selfishly abandoned MC to go and 'find herself' without a word or an explanation that would allow MC to get closure and move on.
He got ghosted for four years, from a girl he knew (rightfully so, as we discover later) needed him like fish need water, a girl he dedicated his life to protect and nurture.
He stayed faithful to the relationship they had because without closure it never ended.
Was he harming himself in doing so? sure!
Should he have moved on and forget about her? yep, that would have been for the best.
Some things tho, really stay with you, I still think of the kids I helped when I was volunteering in the balkans after the war and that was for a few months, I cannot imagine how it would be for someone spending every waking hour for 13 years.
I mean the first few lines in the game already give it away don't they?
Yes you are right, she says so herself, but she is also a bit of a drama queen, she enjoys all the strong emotions that she can suck off MC.
It coud actually be a nice dynamic if the author doesn't force his hand.
Yes the last scene was an abysmal blunder.
The jealousy date is written as an emotional growth for MC and it couldn't be more deadpan.
MC does this for Lacey but magically starts to enjoy it because we need to keep a cuck path open I guess.
This supposedly shows us that sex is just sex for Lacey (she actually complains to Mc that she doesn't want to be shared with other men) but then she is super into it to the point that she brings a webcam to have her private show.
This should also show that MC is the one that will be in control but then control is taken away from him.
Honestly the only 'reasonable' outcome is the kiss and stop, especially because they agree that Lacey is disusting for doing the deed with Morty.
I will try and remove your fears about the NTR, the whole lot of NTR here is always tied to misunderstandings.
The biggest mistake (Damian) is also a new addition, there were some scrapped paths where it wouldn't happen.
Lacey in her own fucked up way wil do what MC will make her do and doesn't want to leave MC at any cost, her life is on the line.
In one of the paths MC plans to manipulate Lacey and her brain damage, referring to Jared and Evan as amateurs.
I like both the punish and slut/bimbo path, but the best one for content and actual emotional growth is the slut/bimbo.
Again not knowing where you are in the game I won't spoil why.
(Still going through your script edits btw, not forgotten you heh).
