In this scene—set on the first day after meeting Cornell—the dialogue reveals something important. If they truly had no thoughts about getting into a sexy situation with him, the line “It’s just acting, after all.” would have been the end of it. But instead, they keep talking.

Just like how a student in Europe doesn’t worry about a school shooting on the way to school—but a student in the U.S. might—the very act of worrying about something means that, consciously or subconsciously, you’re thinking about it. The fact that they continue exploring the topic shows that something in them, even subconsciously, either wants such a situation or is afraid of it.

And as the conversation continues, it becomes clear that their subconscious isn’t rejecting the idea—they’re actually drawn to it. Their dialogue gradually builds sexual tension, and that tension eventually leads them into a sexual encounter.

This is the subtle method the story uses to reveal that they have cuckold tendencies. It’s never stated outright, but the way they keep circling back to the idea, probing it, and feeling both apprehension and fascination makes their underlying dynamic clear without needing explicit exposition.

This is a hallmark of Dimajio’s storytelling. His couples don’t jump into ventures spontaneously; instead, they build a shared fantasy step by step through their conversations. That fantasy generates mutual arousal, and the sexual interaction that follows reinforces it, creating a feedback loop in which the fantasy strengthens itself over time. Eventually, the intensified and repeatedly rewarded fantasy becomes something they actively seek—and ultimately, something that materializes in their reality.


edit)
That line—“I hope that he will avoid embarrassing situations and will not drag me into them if they happen.”—is also quite fascinating. If Julia consciously wanted to have sex with Cornell, she wouldn’t say something like this, because her fiancé could easily prevent such a situation from happening in the first place. On the other hand, if she consciously didn’t want anything like that to happen, she wouldn’t have agreed to help Cornell at all.

What this reveals is that Julia herself is unaware of her own subconscious desire for Cornell. She’s imagining the possibility of getting caught in an embarrassing situation in front of her fiancé, and that very embarrassment is part of the appeal—something she subconsciously wants. That’s why she agrees to his request in the first place: the “embarrassing situation” she claims to fear is exactly what her subconscious is drawn to.

I think this is a brilliant touch. Dimajo’s work often contains these incredibly subtle psychological nuances, and this is a perfect example of how he uses dialogue to expose subconscious desires without ever stating them outright.

Quite often we see the things we want to see. Perhaps some saw this as a predetermination to engage in cucking; I saw it as an opportunity to play a game where I could, if I chose correctly, avoid the pre-determined outcome. Some may have seen it as a foregone conclusion where I saw a challenge.

In the end, I suppose we both found what we wanted. I found a way to hold the couple as faithful and happy even though the deck was stacked against them and others got the ending they wanted.

I won't try to force my views onto others and expect others will accept that I might not share theirs.

IMHO, We play these NTR/NTS, etc, games for different reasons. As long as the story and dialog are reasonably written, the characters are good looking and interesting, and the artwork is not terrible, that's enough for me.

the only part i find to be off with your whole reasoning here is that one can not assume cornell's misbehavior would be of sexual nature.

the line that follows "its just acting" is not a foreshadowing of an affair, it is foreshadowing the lie being exposed due to cornells behavior.

after all, he is portrayed as a manchild who's mom is about to take his toys and make him do chores. thus he called his best friend and company to help him sell a lie about how he is actually a standout student now.

the reason i feel positive about this not being a sexual reference is cause the VN basically starts off where it is the players job to help trick cornells mom. the extent of how sexual things get is left for the player to choose, not whether or not the lie works, thats not up to the player, thats up to cornell not screwing things up. and from the very start there is clear doubt.

Well, well. The developer has not shown signs of life for almost 2 months. The verdict is almost beyond doubt. Unfortunately, the game is dead. Although there is still a glimmer of hope)

If i compare writing style and game style i would nearly believe Dimajio is working on new games under a new name on Patreon. I found the games from Lady Lyana like " Stay Online" and "Wedding Roaming" are same style.

Lady Lana is not SadPepper - she worked on her Stay Online game while Favor for Favor was developed by SadPepper at the same time.

Yes, I would be delighted, but alas! Apart from the subject matter, they have little in common. Except that they are both Russian (Russian-speaking).

Yes and Dimajio didnt explain why he had to quit patreon but there was a noticable hint that his wife or any of the family members caught him doing adult games on patreon so if he still wanted to continue incognito a female account and different games woul be a option...:)

Maybe, but that's not a LadyLana. And if he decided to go with that option, it would have been time to prove himself within two months.
