So theres a couple of things I've been more curious around for the future chapters that I genuinely can't really gauge potential outcomes so to speak
There are only 'hints' to work off of. Chapter 1 is the intro, but chapter 2 is character motivation and development. Still... that doesn't really point to any particular events or other themes in the game. We know two high school boys have an eye on Vivian. The basketball player got a little plug time and now phone numbers are exchanged. Now how the developer has hit on student/teacher relationship of morally right verse wrong--that likely will be a future theme {{Vivian's emotional gymnastics dealing with that kind of relationship}}
Vivans breaking point ( if there is to be one) - based on what's happened in ch2 I'm struggling to think of a scenario that would actually act as her breaking point/ wake up call ( again if there is to be one) but on the other side where does she draw the line while maintaining/ giving the impression that she is maintaining the marriage as this is looking like a slippery slope and she's all baby oiled up so I don't see how she's gonna slow down
BREAKING POINT has already been reached... forget the whole Sunshine/Rain event, Vivian went out on the prowl. Even if Vivian hadn't met the two, the scene could have gone on with some rando guy hitting on Vivian and since it's a kinetic novel, Vivian would have cheated for real (in her own mind.) To this point Vivian has had convenient excuses to explain away her behavior... But with just some random guy...random sex that would have been black and white cheating (...and why I said earlier, it would have been a better scene than the 3some). Don't get me wrong Vivian cheated...she knows she cheated and there are no convenient excuses to fall on...just took forever to get there
Hutch/the marriage - so if the marriage doesn't end and she continues with Christian I genuinely don't see hutch turning into the submissive cuck that grows to eventually enjoy it , if anything with this I'd see his resentment start to grow and he slowly starts poisoning her food or something similar to munchausen by proxy ( but not murder) she can't fuck if she can't walk/leave the house .... Also if Christian calls for Vivian part of me would find it hilarious in this situation if she was like my husband says I'm not allowed to play with you no more
Here is where I'm just spit balling with my guesses. Hutch knows about Christian/Vivian... isn't happy about it. Hutch however doesn't know about the others. He wasn't expecting his wife to get railed in a hotel; had no way that was going to happen. Am just guessing though Hutch isn't cool with Christian/Vivian, I'm thinking it's a bridge way too far if it's also Vivian's students
So the marriage let's say for the sake of argument the marriage somehow survives the shit storm it's currently going through, Vivian is without a shadow of a doubt going to come back to it as a completely different person mentally, physically, sexually and any other allys you want to add .... So for hutch it is essentially going to be like a stranger has showed up claiming to be his wife so to speak (even though yes, it's still his wife but it's not going to be the person he married)
I think the whole game only has bad endings. When, where and how can either Hutch/Vivian get past this? I think Vivian mentioned 24 years of marriage...? Hutch isn't going to walk out of this intact. He's already been made a cuck, his faith and trust shattered, his self-image gone--at this stage and it's only going to get worst. (even though yes, it's still his wife but it's not going to be the person he married)--BINGO! That isn't a marriage anymore save it only being on paper.
And for me I just don't know if I see hutch going for Vivian mk69 even if you take the sexual element away she is almost a POW ( war element aside ) but you get the point it's likely that she's going to struggle to re adapt
See that is where it's anyone's guess. Where is the story going.
Is it a story where Christain whores out Vivian both for a power trip, ego journey, and useful tool?
Has chapters 1 & 2 just a lead up to Vivian's decent down a dark path?
Perhaps it's a story that has both Hutch/Vivian destroyed because of their character weaknesses?
...etc....
That leads up to the end game. Just how bad can it all end... what other themes are in the works... I've noticed a small factor that's been skirted. We know Christain has been snipped (why would the developer include that information), Sunshine brought up going it raw without a condom (again that information, was it useful or needed to put into the story) --most games don't even bother pointing out general biological facts like getting knocked up; so I wonder if that is an ending. That all aside, I've noticed Vivian is clinging on to not 'emotionally' cheating on Hutch, just the physical cheating, but maybe at some point Vivian will emotionally cheat on Hutch-- to the point where she doesn't care about consequences like her marriage or Hutch's feelings
