You mean you hope; why do you hope for this?
Where on earth did I wrote that I want/hope for it? On the contrary, as I wrote to another user, personally, I would had wanted a big shift in terms of ntr character archetypes. I strongly believe it won't happen though.
Chapter 2 was centered in the female main character, to know her better, and it was globally just as other games in the niche: a hot milf, manipulated at will by the bull, without any kind of self-imposed limits nor agency. Confirming what could be intuited in ch1.
What did SC say that suggests she must fall?
That she wasn't so interesting as a character and that the story in general will get bleaker. So, if the dev it's saying something like this, and seeing her "evolution" in chapter 1 and specially in chapter 2 (see above), I don't expect a rise up.On the contrary, she will fall deep down.
Some of you are expecting that she will become aware of her situation, know what she wants and changes things up. That she will speak with Hutch, reconnect somehow with him, even having a hidden master plan to make Christian fall. So far, in chapter 1, the second time she went to the office to sever all ties with Christian, they ended in the bathroom fucking; in ch2, she wanted to remain "anal virgin" to her husband, she finally did it with a unplanned hookup; she went out with Hutch to celebrate with him, instead she was raped by a random customer (following Christian "job") and having sex with her pimp. To finally telling him that she is now his. So, she is in the hands of a sociopath that treat her like a disposable item, and you're telling me that she won't fall deep down?! All this while she was supposed to be celebrating with Hutch to reconnect with him. You still believe her words?
Seeing the teaser for next chapter, I don't see a big shift coming. Her taken by the waist by Christian, while the husband is watching. Her consoling Hutch after something happened or about to, and seeing their facial expressions, I don't think it's positive. Christian, angry, pointing her out, because probably she said something he didn't like. Based on previous encounters between both of them, he will get what he wants, again.
Certainly, teaser are just fragments of the chapter, but they set the tone.
Loss of self esteem. More like confusion. She has been unsure of what she wants and why she is doing what she is doing, but at the end of chpt 2 is coming out of that.
So, for you, a person that it's send to get raped and then got directly to the pimp to affront him, to finally get sexually aroused by the reenactment of the rape with him it's just confused? There is not self-deprecation at all?

Every time she had sex with him she was more or less mad with him after the sex ended. Even the dev did a post with happy Vivian because he realized most of the time she's angry, stressed or sad. You can compare it with the night with Sunshine, where she was nervous, even confused if you want, but with an overall positive attitude. To the point that she felt safe enough to have anal sex for the first time.
