My first thoughts on my first run through of chapter 7:
First thing, this is will be an interesting experience as this was my first time having to wait for more ORS, as I got into it after chapter 6 had been released. And now I have three playthroughs going. My original is where I basically pick whatever I feel like doing. (I tend to naturally pick more "good" choices than "bad" ones, though I do stray for that some, i.e. I've been into Cindy from the start, so I've never turned her down an opportunity to hit on her despite it not being the right thing to do to my friend. Also I slept with Louise the first time as Lena, but then started turning her down as she became so clingy.).
Then I have my lust route where I pretty much slut it up with both characters, and also focus on the physical attribute which I expect will lead to Ian being an awesome fighter and Lena having pole dancing / erotic model (or porn star?) careers possible. I also use this to focus on characters I didn't the first time, like Alison this time instead of Cherry, and this time I forced Lena to not reject the douche bag Robert immediately. (Sorry, Lena. Even on my lust route I couldn't sit through much of this!) Also I've brought Axel back into the fold with her, as the first time I just shut him out completely.
And then finally I have a pure route, where Lena and Ian are very faithful to each other, except for also including Holly whenever we can. Also I focus on the Wits attribute and book / song writing on this route, looking to give both of them their dream jobs.
It will be interesting to go through the content every time in each separate route. Particularly because I can already see some potential avenues that won't be covered in any of these routes, even though they're very different. (i.e. I've never attended the photoshoot with Cindy and then came clean to Wade that I was there, as on each route I'm either seriously perusing Cindy or I'm not, in which case I wouldn't leave my friends to go with her to the bar in the first place. Maybe I'll need another route where I do weird random things.)
Okay, finally to this chapter. It was shorter than I'd like it to be, but that will probably always be the case.
I expected us to get it on with Cindy in this chapter, if you chose to go along with that. I thought it'd possibly actually be at the birthday party, and also thought we may run into Lena there.
Getting caught at the end was not how I thought Eva would take this, largely because with the route I was on lead me to believe something else would happen. I went out for drinks with Axel, told him I was dating Lena as I thought it'd be worse if he found out later, and then Axel watched me run after Cindy. I 100% would expect him to follow us in this scenario and then take pictures of us to show Lena that we're sleeping around on her. That may still happen, but combining that with Jeremy and Ivy seeing us would be a weird combo. They probably wouldn't do both. But on this timeline it does seem kind of out of character for Axel to not follow us knowing everything he knows (including us being flirty with Cindy at the photoshoot).
More thoughts to come as I go through it some more and catch up on the thread.
