Out of curiosity, I chose the option for Nora to explain her motives and why she helps us from the beginning.
I was a bit disappointed after what I heard from her.. But.. I understand her.
But I don't know if I understood correctly.. the situation with this incident at her performance, it wasn't the first time she did it. ( I mean in Lust route)
Because she wanted to create such a situation on purpose.
Probably with those men who saved her then before, then something happened between them later in her room.
Although here I'm just speculating, I don't know if she was doing it just because of that.
Even so, I like her personality, she is wonderful.
Nobody is perfect either, everyone makes mistakes. I am able to forgive her for what she did. And I understand her, looks are not everything.
Interesting, insight though I feel the writer came too fast on Nora's character arc this time around. Her motives are simple though she has had the worst storytelling considering her character is inconsistent compared to Rion or Maddie. Depending on the dialogue choices her reply is vastly different which is not the case for the other 2.
From a 3rd person PoV:
Rion is being a slut and it's immature for her to play with her BF and MC like that considering the bond they have,and that's not a relationship nor motherly material, in the long term she'll be a kid in an adults body with no meaningful relations. In short she can be a fun friend to hang out casually but long term she might screw things up as she herself is unsure what she wants.
Maddie has the greatest baggage, basically is afraid to open up to others, has low consciences and agreeableness which makes her bad at bonding with others, her experience and flaws made her jaded and slowly will make her more cynical, I'm quite surprised how she never got into counseling considering her military background. Narratively she's a rough gem that could be turned into a beauty but retains some of her sharp edges which will cause conflict later on in a relationship. ( I mean she must be truly naive to think you can go full guns blazing and be the upright White knight and not one day catch a bullet or worse happen to you Ned Stark is a perfect personification of such naivety)
Nora is the most mature of the 3 and the one who had the greatest writing disaster post performance accident, she's a mix of the 2 lead females pros and the most refreshing given her handle on personal and relationship matters. Her botched writing makes it hard for me to pin her flaws and she has some like others but she has the least as she is new and is doing things right by actually wanting to form a bond with a MC besides personal gains which is the least I could say for the 2. She is the ideal Wife material the MC needs as unlike the rest she wants to settle down with a significant other and talk/handle things out which is a rarity in the present world, she truly is a gem.
Rion is the one that got away,
Maddie is the one chance/opportunity not taken and
Nora is the one that came with open arms.
