You did good at story bending. It could be the truth.
Well, we knew that Sommer disappeared. Ocean spoiled it with game's name already. Thanks for that Ocean...
The key word in relation to Summer that's uttered several times by the Cyrus family (MC, Nami, Nojiko) is "disappearance." So, she's not dead or knowingly somewhere else in the eyes of the Cyrus family, unless the word is deliberately used around the MC as a euphemism.
Disappeared in the literal sense could refer to a very broad spectrum of events from dark (kidnapping/MH370) to more mundane (sequestered away from the MC and the Cyrus family)
On an MH370-type incident - some elements in the storyline so far do support such a wild theory (others don't). Summer's family were going away on holiday, The MC saw Summer one last time (before/as Summer and her family departed?). Summer disappeared. By odd coincidence, the "five years" since Summer disappeared almost fits a real-life timeline of the actual event to when SG was first released. As an alternative, maybe the family disappeared while on holiday (kidnapped).
I don't think these scenarios are realistic because they involve external forces unrelated to the MC. Amber, who Nojiko no doubt briefed before her first therapy session with the MC, asks him, "I get the feeling that you are... let's say in some way- blaming yourself?" The MC replies, "It... wasn't my fault." It's safe to assume the MC has a direct connection to Summer's disappearance.
So, it's easy to spin a thousand theories based upon the clues presented so far in the game. Time will tell if any of us got close...

Even if some of the details of your theory are wrong, your general premise could be in the right ballpark.

I still think that it was something more violent than just the intrigues of angry Summer's family. The theory is that Summer was kidnapped and since then her fate has been unknown as her body has never been found seems more plausible to me. Or maybe Sasha was kidnapped by the same criminals but she managed to escape, which could explain the story behind her scar. It even makes more sense if we remember the fact that Summer and Sasha's families are some of the richest in town, so it was really for ransom. And since they've been held together for a while, Summer told Sasha about Nika and their relationship, which is why Sasha acts weird every time she sees him. We can also add the "cruel incident" to this, Summer was with Nika when it happened, and he tried to stop the attacker(s). And of course, the Summer family hit a nail in Nika's head when they blamed him for what happened because she ran away with him that day instead of bearing her royal duties with the family. He already blamed himself, but that was the last straw, he drowned in guilt and became the guy we met at the beginning of the game.
Phew, it's so easy to come up with theories when the story is good and you love the characters.
Yeah, anything is possible, and I agree your theory is plausible. We're patiently waiting to be drip-fed clues to tie the narrative and events together and to reveal underlying the mystery.
Note - follow the elementary to high school relationships. So far, the MC, Nami, and Summer went to the same schools, and Nia joined them in high school at least. The rest of the principle college characters went to different elementary, middle, and high schools to the MC/Nami/Summer. Sasha, I recall, is an exception 'cause she remains enigmatic - nothing about her school life prior to college has been revealed. However, to date, Sasha's only interest in the MC is purely related to his association with Bella and nothing else.I just keep an open mind, especially in the knowledge of Ocean's change of tone for the game. There's such a broad spectrum of possibilities available regarding Summer's disappearance, from really dark to mundane (which is why I keep shitposting different scenarios
I have no more of a solid grasp on what happened than any other punter).

Not everything is so simple with Sasha. If the MC goes to the gym with Bella, there will come a point where he thinks he recognized Sasha from somewhere. Later in the audience, when the MC spotted the smiling eraser, the camera focuses on Sasha's face as if she know something about it. Too few facts to draw conclusions, but strange enough to go unnoticed. But you are right, Sasha's interest in the MC is mainly due to his connection with Bella, and the interest in Bella is apparently due to her friendship with Robin, who obviously has some tension in relations with Bella.Yeah, anything is possible, and I agree your theory is plausible.

Yes, everything we have learned about this topic is still not enough to come to reliable conclusions. So far, everything we know about Summer's disappearance can be twisted to support just about any theory. Let's change my assumption from "kidnap for ransom" to "plane crash" as you mentioned earlier, and it still makes sense.I just keep an open mind, especially in the knowledge of Ocean's change of tone for the game.

Damn, Ocean, give us an update asap, or you won't like what we make of your story!
Yeah, the MC thinks "For some reason I feel like... never mind" when looking at Sasha at the gym (only when going to the gym with Bella). It's suitably cryptic!Not everything is so simple with Sasha.

Another aspect to Bella/Sasha... Amber went to college with Sasha's mom and they are friends, so it's likely Bella and Sasha have known each other socially for a long time, even if they've never been friends.
You are right... during various scenes, Ocean has chosen to focus (figuratively and literally) on the reactions of characters in the background. I assume there is a reason for this in most cases.

For now there isn’t male domination but if i’m not wrong in the future we will have ways for be sub or dom.
I too think that the reason Summer is gone is more criminal in nature than a simple "her family did not like Nika and moved away". Nika was seriously hurt that day (both lungs collapsed) and has a trauma from it. That does not hint at a mundane leaving of town.
It would also fit more with WIAB´s theme. Willi (or whatever we name him) Zane, the WIAB MC, returns to Wollust after years of absence because his mother was in an accident which left her mute from shock. But his father Dylan and even more so his sister Leia think the accident was no accident, but more an assasination attempt.
It's a fallacy to assume the MC's hospital visit (the "violent incident") is directly linked to the day of Summer's disappearance.
I am not saying they aren't part of the same event (because the story definitely supports the possibility), rather nothing in story so far confirms that they are.
There's two conversations of interest:
MC to Jeff: "...I dominated in high school basketball... But I quit half a year in." Nami to Jeff: "He would have made the high school basketball team as a starter if... something wouldn't have happened."
The MC could be deliberately bending the truth in his conversation to Jeff, but quitting the team isn't the same as being forced out due to injury and hospitalization. Nami's comment could refer to an injury to the MC, yes, but it could also simply refer to Summer's disappearance. Taken strictly at face value, the conversations suggest the MC decided to quit the basketball team after Summer's disappearence. He wouldn't have had a choice to quit with a collapsed lung.
If you look at the rough timeline of events, things don't always add up/fit well:
- Summer disappeared 5 years before the start of the game .
- Conversations suggest this likely happened when Nika was 13-14 years old - the first year at Tropics High School.
- Something happened to cause the MC to leave the HS basketball team half a year into the (first?) school year.
- AFTER Summer's disappearance, the MC continued High School. At first, he got picked on because he was the "weird kid". Later he got into fights trying to protect Nami from boys.
- Nothing so far suggests the MC didn't finish High School, which would be around 3.5-4 years after Summer's disappearance. He would be around 17 years old by then. It would be around 6-12 months before the start of the game.
- Something well after Summer's disappearance caused the MC to become so anti-social, he rarely left his bedroom/home. This behavior was going on for at least a year before the start of the game (MC didn't know Obama's Kebab closed down a year before). What happened to make the MC this way a year before the start of the game and not five years before, when Summer disappeared?
So, within a period of four years years at High School, there's also the matter of the MC's injuries from the "violent incident" resulting in a collapsed lung. This required hospitalization and would no doubt require rehabilitation (a year?), resulting in significant time off High School, assuming it happened while he was there.
All this depends, of course, on all characters telling the truth throughout the game...
For me, the "violent incident" that sent the MC to hospital could be:
1. something that happened at the time of Summer's disappearance, or
2. something that happened at High School "protecting" Nami (after Summer's disappearance)

If it's my decision, Mulder can stay home...Does this mean we're going to see a Cameo of Mulder and Scully in the next update?
