since you didnt talk about the carpark thought you missed it....well my mistake... yeah seems like we both got it right but my misunderstanding was the since you didnt talk about the carpark thought you missed it. i think that these conversation are one part of christian manipulating hutch. the other part being chrisitan and vivians conversations.
I see I'm not alone on the Addison team! I agree, so far she seems to be the best way out for Hutch. As long as nothing unusual happens, of course.
that's the best of the worst in this kn... there are other theories as well involving addison. don't recall who wrote about that but its in this thread. she is the only one hutch side, so far in the kn.some will say vivian is a doting wife sufferening from carrying the burden but they also support vivian ending up on the streets. addison so far is a mystery as very little is shown... and from the script file that the readers have checked there are no other (female) characters related to the story. and if you recall the christian vivian talk at 2nd or 3rd night there is a woman next to christian... she is most probably addison is one theory. so don't get your hopes up until the 3rd update.
christian is a manipulator and a liar we know that for a fact... so it might just be a lie for him to keep the staff from going after her as hutch talks about his coworkers and his boss at the start of the vn. and that way addison might know what hutch is going through and help hutch in some way in the future. since the first meeting between vivian and addison is clearly hostile... but fun to read,
New perspective could be drawn from this quotes...
The "subtext" in the conversations between Hutch and Christian is clearly the voice of mainstream society speaking. And because of that it is so convincing and successful with Hutch. It is not some sinister genius coming up with something original but the usual tropes in store for a betrayed husband ("man up" by swallowing it). The problem for Hutch (not being discussed enough sofar, but a lost the middle weeks of discussion here, so I'm not sure) is, that there is no accepted script for him (who is of course a weak character who would need such a script because he can't come up with one himself) anymore of how to act in this moment. Of course it is easy for us as someone said above to be sure to have landed in prison or hospital. I'm not so sure. First thing we are all totally conditioned to avoid even the slightest bit of bodily harm and violence at any cost. Males legitimately enraged because of betrayel, the righeous anger of a newly cucked - this is not a thing anymore in mainstream movies or novels let alone society (don't want to get into judicial matters). Point is: the framing Christian offers is the one that is seductively in tune with what is expected from a civilized loving tolerant husband and, what is more important, it offers the easy well adjusted way for Hutch in this context as disgusting as it does appear to us who are in the voyeur's seat. Hutch, reacting on his authentic impulse would have needed to exit not only marriage and job but also the hive mind of current society including that of his male colleagues who are sitting there like malicious idiots who belittle him but would have acted the same, they are just happy they weren't targeted this time.
1. I'm of the same opinion (although reluctantly because it would mean a waiver of hot scenes). But it's interesting to see why people would hope that or the other. I think there is a moral economy behind it, it's not just for the sake of a good story. I would guess some people would find it degrading to the character and a sort of harsh condemnation-like punishment for something which should be seen with more understanding. And others a wanting it for that exact reason: the wife has clearly entered this route out of free will and she has to savor the consequences up to the last drop so to speak as kind of higher justice. She lands in the position she deserves. I myself would very much like her to get what she deserves BUT in a more interesting and original way, not just this "for the streets" trope.
i dunno something about this train of thought is ... not getting the right term for it... leaving a bad taste... dunno.... something about this reasoning feels off to me. not just how men are conditioned to avoid harm or how the current society is encouraging such behaviour. can't pinpoint .... maybe ill get back to this later on when i understand myself what is wrong from my viewpoint.
I thought this would be the most accepted thing to say in the world - and it's good that it is so in most cases a would think. It's part of education and civil society. Violent reactions are banned and condemned, more than at any point in our history, and rightly so.
And it was the "realistic" plot, exit option.
This is honestly how the game would have gone if some people here had gotten their way. It's a good job that it's kinetic for this very reason or it would have been a rather premature end to the game.
Oh, I really like that squence. Much, much better than what we see in the current version. Pity it got changed.
Ngl you got me in the first half.
If the VN intends to stick to the NTR theme till the end then it's a trap. The girl in Chistian's bed looks like Addison(or maybe her mother lol, so Christian's sister in law, to bypass incest). Either Addison is getting used/blackmailed by her uncle to mentally/emotionally torture and manipulate Hutch or she is as sick as her uncle and is only pretending.
