I don't get why people are jumping to conclusions already. There is clearly something shady going on at the place and the fact that the MC was most definitely on drugs and hallucinating, even if you decline(they 100% spiked his drink when he wasn't looking) should say something.
Also if a girl asks you to be rough with her during sex... I don't think that counts as being a woman beater if you comply. It's not exactly my cup of tea either but some people like it rough. And at least from my perspective those slaps looked weak as hell. No weight behind them with the intent to actually injure.
I will agree that the decision to actually go through with it the very first time he went there was kinda dumb. The whole time I was thinking this is obviously a set up or a trap of some kind, but I put it aside because the MC wanted information and I guess his idea of being inconspicuous was to not go to a strip club and show zero interest in what was being offered.
Also there is one detail that everyone seems to overlook. The frame where MC wakes up, she was looking at him. Like
directly at him. Like she was waiting for him to wake up.
I know what the scene looks like and I went over it a few time to see if could pickup any details and at least to me from what I've seen, all these assumptions that she is dead or just throwing the MC under the bus are premature. I sense some foul play and misdirection here. This was such a prime candidate for a cliffhanger I knew what was gonna happen the moment that girl showed up the pill. There is definitely more going on than was is shown. Half of me want to believe its some elaborate prank. The other half of me says they didnt like him asking questions and its a set up.
Of course I could be wrong...but its just too convenient the way stuff happened.
