But yes, a bit part of the assumptions people make is that doctor means what it means in their part of the world. What we know is that Noji stopped Nick having amputation - amputation after an accident happens in an emergency ward, which means a general hospital, not a specialist centre. People don't chose where the ambulance takes them from a car crash. Once they're out of danger, people might upgrade to a more exclusive hospital, but given how Nika, Nami AND Noji all say to how stressed Noji is from work, she'd not top dog. She didn't believe in herself to risk opening a private practice, that is stated.
Sounds like she's some sort of first line emergency ward doctor. She handles the cases directly off the ambulances. That'd definitely be a gruelling, stressful job and would also easily explain how she came in contact with Nick.

There are not much information where did they live before. The only thing Nami said:
"We went to a high school way in the west."

And we know that MC has (had?) an uncle who taught him to play basketball. Who is his uncle? Does this mean that MC knew his birth parents? Where is his uncle now? How are Noji and uncle related? There are no answer :HideThePain:
Beat me to it.

European cultures, well everyone with a beard can be an uncle :sneaky:

When you take Mila or Vic for a walk in 4.5 after the movie night, Nika mentions he remembers or dreams he remembers his mum (not Noji) reading to him. I remember things from when I was 3, even earlier. But my brain might also have filled the gaps. I remember a vivid nightmare from when I was 4, and when I was in diapers, I escaped and walked across a main road - that's what I was told I did, I remember the the bright lights and loud noises.

So yeah, one birth parent is known, the 'uncle' could easily be someone that Noji just couldn't explain any other way.

Well, yeah. I mean, if it was his blood-related uncle, then he could tell him about his parents, who they were, show him some photographs. The memories the MC told Mila or Vic seem very vague, just like in your own example. He was no more than three years old when he may have seen his mother, so it is unlikely that he remembers any details.

Do you mean that a teenager can call his parents' neighbor friends aunt and uncle even though they are not blood relatives?
Or is he an uncle in the same sense as Uncle Ruckus? :)

I thought this meme everyone is a uncle (older) brother /sister (younger) was something from the wuxia /China stuff

Well, I think that the address "uncle", from the younger to the elder, who is a close friend of the parents, is also common in Eastern Europe. But for some reason it seems to me that the game meant the MC’s own uncle, at least I don’t remember anyone else calling an uncle someone non-relative.

Yeah, I was going the eastern europe angle semi-humorously - but it also happens in lots of close knit communities. I've been introduced to friends kids as an uncle mostly because they're too lazy to say friend I guess? ...mostly it's because they want the kid to listen to/respect their friends advice, it's just a way to elevate them into an authority figure.

Again you start arguing... You don’t know the usual things that most people know, are you suggesting that I teach you?
1- Have you seen the material of the house? This tree is only used in poor houses.
2- Have you seen the size of the rooms? I think there is no need to explain anything here.
3- Have you seen the general condition of the house and repairs? It's horrible.
4- Did you see the furniture in the house? Cheap furniture from Ikea seems luxurious compared to what is in Nojiko's home.
I hope now your questions will disappear.

My best buddy only uses me as a negative example with his kids: "Don't do this, else you will become like Ottoeight." "You see Ottoeight? don't behave like him." :sneaky:

Isn’t Kelly, by any chance, Daphne’s daughter? Her religious inclination, earrings like Daphne’s, eyes, but her breasts are from Willie’s mother’s side.

That was also my first thought, but I have to disappoint you and me. And sadly have to agree about the environment AlexFXR - in parts, as much as I hate to do it...

Even in the reworked chapters can we see the old livingroom.

But Ocean has done a really good job to hide this cracks in the wall in the blurry background and polish the plates on the wall.

I have no clue, but it looks line there are not many livingroom environments in the DAZ3d store. The one used here is so hard overused in a gazillions of games that I have lost count how often in have seen it in other games ...
