I think there will be good ending with each carnation, since you can choose pretty much who will win. Maybe not all of them at the same time (in the same ending) though
Assuming we play are cards right, I don't think winning the contest is a requirement for a "good" ending for the Carnations. Or at least, I think we'll be able get all of them to the finish line "whole" and holding on to the thing they most needed - which is not necessarily what the entered the contest for. Winning the contest might be an alternate route to a good ending for one girl, but I'm starting to get skeptical of that given just how unstable the Club is looking.
did the dev ever mentioned what will going on in the "public use"exhibition? would there be any chance that edwin won't share three carnations(or at least keep one)?
I don't think there's any guarantee there will be a "Public Use" week in this year' contest. AFICT Kathleen is a consummate showman so she changes up the themes each year. The girls might still be subjected to some or all of the Club members (particularly in Week 4), but I think the setting will be a different than the one we saw in the old clip.
I get it. It's mostly that don't particularly like it when drugs are involved and prefer when we have the choice to decline it. I can't say I like everything Edwin does (or thinks) even though I like the story, but the choice to decline earlier set up expectations that this would be the case once more if the same situation appeared again further down the line. Oh, and even though I don't like it when the MC takes part in it, high Rosalind was hilarious.
Indeed. Even more than the base expectation of choice, the MC's rationale for turning down weed when Jacob offers it way back in the prologue suggest he just didn't like the stuff. So it was definitely a headscratcher when he automatically embraced the option here.
That said, I eventually put it down to the MC desperately wanting to get the three Carnations on the same page. He probably figured that if he refused to partake in Ian's "plan," at best it would blow any chance of the girls bonding, and at worst it would start them arguing about how he dragged them here just to wuss out. I don't really buy that getting high would help the situation, but I can see why he might have felt his hands were tied once the girls started smoking. (Well, that and TD wanting to streamline the branches as he confirmed, but there is at least a Watsonian pretext.)
