Hi
ename144 !
You forgot about another preview pic. Unless it will be gated by how we treated Sophia so far, we´ll have a meeting with her, most probably predating this scene. Remember the render of an arm taking up a glass in Edwin´s flat? The only woman in the game with both black painted nails and a wrist watch is Sophia.
If that meeting went well, our hero and Sophia will have come to a solution, compromise, relationship and/or alliance, concerning several problems. If that is the case, there is no reason to keep distance.
The question about "what game" can be very much about plans in motion, but it could also be as harmless as seeing Sophia styled like this before meeting Hana. As we know from the previews, Hana is also quite "openhearted" in her style this Carnation weekend.
I know you kept your distance from Sophia as much as you could, so some things will not happen quite the same way for you. The preview pic makes more sense if we presume Edwin and Sophia are in the same boat.
I naturally hope our hero and Sophia are already there or on the way towards a LI relationship at that point.
