I just didn't really want the scene for any of my Lenas, so rewound and tried to reject the contract at the restaurant in every scenario that would let me.
I'm not completely opposed to the concept that Lena might find a contract like that attractive, at least if she happened to be specifically materialistic or in really dire straits. I don't think I'd want to play a route where I accept the deal, prior to Seymour being able to blackmail Lena, just yet, but it might be an interesting route to explore when the game is completed.
I'm chalking it up to a fetish/fantasy Eva liked enough to make it a major hard-to-avoid path in the game.
Yeah I think it's the same with both Seymour and Axel actually, I think the point is to really showcase Lena's submissive tendencies and how she gets off of it, but I think both scenes are a bit problematic because being submissive is not the same as "being overtaken by lust at the mere act of being refused sexual restraint."
My wife is submissive but it's only on good days I'm allowed to dom her really, it's very much about being in the mood in my relationship.
Given that Lena was able to break up with Axel in the first place I've always assumed it'd be similar for her. Yes she likes to be sexually submissive, but I always interpreted it to apply only under completely consensual circumstances, not completely against her will and not under all circumstances.
She could've preferably made it possible to reject Seymour's "contract" interpretation and just walk out of his office, though there are quite a few other scenes in the game the user is basically locked into after a point.
Good point, she should have that option actually.
Now that you mention it, doesn't the contract specifically stipulate those details? I don't think it'd be hard for Lena to argue that the acts Seymour wished of her in the office were outside of the bounds they signed to.
It'd be very satisfying if Lena could take him to case on the limits it sets too. Realistically it should lock him in too. Don't like that I don't wanna give you sex I don't have to? Well cancel the contract then and give me my 10 vague money units!
I can definitely see how this particular one would bother some not to have that option in the office and I'm sure it might've irked me more personally if I was at greater risk IRL to those sort of situations.
Yeah. I've had a few nasty superiors during my career but none that went as far as Seymour did and I shut them down just at the mere indication of anything untowards. I do like that Lena can just say fuck him at least if she hasn't gotten too close to him.
