Might be the case that some players have this barred, but I do not know. Even a highly annoyed Edwin knows that Abel and Sophia are able to ruin his life permanently with just a snip of their fingers and more their reach in the medical community is massive, which can also be positive.
Trust is definitely important but then, how has the MC built up trust with Mina when he's literally going behind his friends back with her? Why would you decide to trust someone who betrays their best friend like that? I mean, Killian was pretty obvious with his cheating on Mina and when the MC asks why he left the sex video around for Mina to find, Killian can't explain why he did it. Personally I think he did it because he has a self-sabotaging personality - whenever something is going good for him he can't help but fuck it up by pushing it just that little bit too far.
In well depicted characters there is often a gap between what they say (how they see themselves, or want to be seen) and the things that drive them underneath the surface persona. Mina's public persona is at odds at times with her internal values, responses and desires - things that are likely to influence her without her even understanding it herself.
Some sites use 1000 bytes for a 'k', others use 1024... you get used to it after awhile. Sites like Mega and Pixeldrain generally virus-scan the files, there should not be any problems with them. :>)
Just a feeling that i have after a conversation between Edwin and Chuck.
Well, I think Darius and his girl made it out, but barely. Since it was the first time it happened. But the two should stay away from Moorehead Hills if they know what is good for them. A return would surely mean the "perfect fit concrete footwear" with a frontrow view of the Atlantic you mentioned. Alternately Warren or August would solve the problem equally terminal.
I am sure Edwin will one day think back and will shake his head about it.It may not be all there is to it, but I think this is mostly due to the choice of HoneySelect as a graphics engine, that tends to skew the aesthetics to be anime-adjacent. And to the author's tastes in bust size. I'm not complaining, by the way...
The Update has a link on the OP, there is a compressed version of it on that link. The Compressed version of the whole game is 2 pages back at: https://f95zone.to/threads/pale-carnations-ch-4-update-2-public-mutt-jeff.50281/post-10555668
Well, ifI am right on some of the agendas and backgrounds of Abel and Sophia, then these two play a role as scientists who do not see the stop point to get into PC. Unlike some of the "consensual pimping"(hardly so), it is interesting that we never saw something about this experiments beside one scene and even that more implied than anything else. It seems Sophia is mostly alone with the test subject. In addition, she tests the stuff they make onto herself as well.As for "consensual hardcore pimping" that is one of the big problems Hana has with PC, because for most working there it is anything but consensual. A change in leadership to a better Edwin, Hana, maybe Ian and Sophia would be a major upgrade. I doubt that the medical experiments in the basement (currently one) would continue (see spoilered text why I think so)and Sophia would keep testing in the clubs secrecy, but more openly and with consenting "subjects". At least on a neutral or slightly dark path.
You forgot quite a bit about what happens in the club. The majority of the house girls is there "consensual" as far as having few to no alternatives is "free will", which means not really.
Kath mentiioned it how she abuses the problems of both future housegirls and several Carnations to bring them in. Not a few are in PC because the likes of Otto and other friends of August "convince" them to work there. Kat and Chuck (when he let´s his inner demons free) get off on being sadistic and cruel to nearly everyone.
