I'm not sure how making amends is accomplished by dragging him into a criminal enterprise. One that will add a future doctor to the organizations indebted payroll. And it's true that we don't have any clue how extensive Chucks past overlaps with Victoria's. I just don't think it will matter at all much beyond cliffhanger bait.
Veronica isn't exactly friendly with the MC in most paths (understandably so) at best she tolerates you
Learning Darius' girlfriend is still in proximity to the club
Even though it's a criminal enterprise there are connections that can be made for the future and current times even if he leaves the club.
Wonder if she'll need one of those donut cushions to sit on for a while?Also breaking Kat's rectal walls, from what i hear.
Maybe she'll have Edwin take responsibility and serve her as live furniture. We already have precedent of Sophia acting as dinner serving plate.Wonder if she'll need one of those donut cushions to sit on for a while?
Let me put it a different way then.
My take on the Carnations is that they are totally at the Club owners' mercy, and the only people who can help them are Edwin, Hana and Ian. And Edwin, Hana and Ian have almost no leverage.
Uncle Chuck making amends ?!?!?
I'd have to disagree seeing as how any of the Carnations can willingly bow out of the competition at any time. Granted the club can try to disuade that by numerous means. Explain how Felicia who is here by her own choice not to pay off debts or anything like that but to make connections and try to make something of her own outside of her husband's influence is at their mercy? For example depending on choice Felicia will pay off part of Rose's debt, that said Felicia could theoretically pay off both her competitor's debts thereby removing any need for them to be in the competition and by default winning the competition. I see Edwin and Hana trying to help others, Ian not so much yet. Hana has plenty of leverage as part owner but has to take the business aspect into consideration, Edwin while not having leverage has the ability to get others to help out in different ways. So while they are "at the mercy" during the exhibitions, I wouldn't say they are at the mercy of the club owners at all. They are choosing to participate because of the prize, in order to win they have to complete and win the challenges placed in front of them each weekend. They can always bow out but they are choosing to participate as it is an easy and fast solution to most of their problems. So basically they aren't forced to do anything really, they are doing it by choice(Edwin's job is to make sure they keep making that choice). That isn't at someone's mercy if you have a choice to do or not to do.
If there is no good story this game may as well be a normal honey select h-comic. Reason why this is top 1 in F95 is because it has everything from good visuals to a good story, hence why people are still talking about the update 1 week later.
What does Chuck treating a house girl as furniture have to do with making amends to someone he thinks of as almost family? Does he consider the house girl family? People can still be assholes to others but make amends to those they consider friends/family.Uncle Chuck making amends ?!?!?
Just remember the scene where Chuck and Ian play go using a house girl as furniture.
So much for the person Chuck really is.
So much for as the so-called Ian's "introspection" path.
Come on guys.
It is unclear currently if Abel and Sophia want to bring down the Club totally or "just" a change of leadership. Going by what we know at the moment it is most probably the latter (the two show their disdain for Chuck, Kat and August and not the club in general) and the club will likely continue to exist. Probably under the leadership of Ian, Hana and Edwin. Mostly the former two, since Edwin´s studies will take a lot of his time.
I keep seeing this repeated idea that the club could be run by Ian, Hana and Edwin. Ian couldn't run shit without bankrupting it from abusing his own product. Hana has a year as a reluctant bartender and one week of maybe kinda sorta giving two shits about how the place operates. As you said, Edwin hopes to be heading to Med School.
What young teenager doesn't have impulse control issues? They are young and still learning. Rage and violence tend to be the same when dealing with a young teenager, they get mad they tend to use violence as an outlet to release the rage. Most people grow out of that as they become an adult. What rage and violence issues has Edwin shown as an adult? I won't get into impulse control issues since most young men are going to bang any and all hot chicks they can until they finally grow up so he still has that issue.
Your forgetting Chuck stated this would let Edwin experience different sides of himself by working there. Chuck himself is sadistic but in a more cerebral way than Kat who focuses more on humiliation and physical pain. By letting him become Kat's "apprentice" if she brings out the darker side of Edwin then Chuck could also possibly become his mentor teaching him more cerebral ways to be sadistic, bringing them closer in the end. I never said Chuck was a caring mentor, but even still he can still be a caring mentor while teaching him how to be more mentally sadistic. Chuck may see this as a test to see how Edwin reacts or which path he follows and either encourage or let him go on his own to follow that path.
Kat's whole character is about pushing people's buttons and pushing them to their limits to break them. Why would she treat Edwin whom she just met any different until later when she gets to know him and gets her warning from Chuck. She states she sees his sadistic side and is trying to help him experience it(depending on path I think) with his birthday present. Again choices you make are what makes the difference overall. I don't think she is afraid of him being physical since she has Warren as an ally and he's a physical abuser, she has experience dealing with that type of person. In fact I'd think she would want to see him release that side when she is giving him "gifts". As was stated getting the Kat scene this update was only for those who are on her path and that seemed to be very few based on the posts I have seen so far, unless they went back and made new saves/choices.
So the phone call she made 3 weeks ago(give or take) is a now issue? What was the purpose of that call? Was it to show the MC we know all about you and your family and can get to you/them at any time? I mean bringing someone into the criminal enterprise requires you either have to trust that person a lot or have some leverage to keep them from spilling the beans. I saw that call as the leverage to keep him in line. It's obvious he gives more than 2 shits about his mother since his entire future was planned to take care of her and working at the club is a means to that end.
All of which is fine if Edwin is the nerdy little wall flower that can be molded and groomed into their perfect little future monster like they want. Like Edwin is for the vast majority of TD's story. Never have contradicted any of that. And it's clear as day that's how it will proceed for the remaining time. That's why Victoria's reveal isn't that big of a deal outside cliffhanger bait.
MoBy28: "Uncle Chuck, you are making amends to Edwin, aren't you?"
