Why?



Edit: Ray_D do you really think yossa is doing anything other than fishing?

For Sasha to be Summer, she has to use concealer to hide her freckles, but doesn't use concealer on the scar OR she has a whole skin transplant of her entire face. I'm sure she could afford treatments, but damn that's a convoluted plot to explain to pornhunters when you can just have Summer reappear far more easily.

Also, no one every really asks, what the hell happened to Summer's parents? For Summer to disappear, her parents had to as well, or it would be in the news 'parent's heartbroken, tryst goes wrong, police hunting for lost teen'. The fact Nika doesn't know, Nia doesn't know (because she's more clued on to women not looking the same as they did 5 years ago) and Elsa's mom should know where her sister is... I'd HIGHLY doubt Nika's infatuation is so dramatic that Summer's mom would go into hiding, lose all her friends etc.

Only solution I see is witness protection/relocation, which fits in with the Zanes being criminal. They wouldn't then just get an eraser for Summer's freckles and leave her in WOllust as one of the most prominent families.

And if Sasha is Summer, why doesn't Nika recognise Elena's surname? It'd bring a pang to his heart with memories, he heard it in school every time the role was called.

to be honest with you duck I don't remember shit about the plot. I haven't played in so long that I don't remember anything, especially the little information there is about summer. But knowing that yossa999 remembers everything, then we can say that he is indeed fishing.

Nobody cares about her parents lol. They're in some semi peanutsverse. you see some of the parents, and rest are in fuck-offville lol.


that scar is badass,no ones concealing that lol. Nor the precious freckles. In all seriousness, I don't think ocean gives a fuck about summers parents the winters . and I wonder if they will even be mentioned again.

Nika mentions them more than he mentions his own in seriousness, if Nika uses Emilio to find out about Summer, and we start interacting with Elsa, I think that side of the story will develop. Even if Summer isn't present except in flashbacks, the story is about healing and Summer is central to Nika's trauma. All of Nika's secondary trauma regarding rich people is due to Summer's parents, so somehow he'll need to come to terms with his class struggle as a minor point. Summer's parent's aren't necessary for that, but the search for Summer would start with family connections - I mean asking Elsa would be almost the first step right? Because Summer has left not only NIka but Nia, her whole circle. Family is the logical place for Emilio to start asking questions.

I personally think it's better to have Summer absent the whole story, as Nika then has to decide how to move forward for his own reasons - does he stay faithful to the ghost of his past, or does he allow himself to breath fresh air, and live in the moment? If Summer is a schrödinger pussy, then Nika has to decide completely on his own perception and it's changes. I think that's a far more interesting plot device.

Yes, as long as Summer stays in FuckoffVille, I can tolerate her. Although I regret the renders spent on her almost as much as those spent on the fucking tabletop game. It could be Zara, Sasha, Vanessa, Vic or Maja instead. Heck, even Bella would do.

I think Nika knows what happened to Summer, asking her parents or Elsa would probably been the first thing he did back than otherwise. He interrupted Elsa in the restaurant too as she intended to talk about it.

Its one of these cases where the mc knows more about certain things compared to us as the readers (which always annoys me a bit).

I kinda would like Summer to come back, but explaining all this in a reasonable way is kinda hard, it would make the most sense if Summer is simply dead. But i think she probably isnt.

I do like that you drew attention to her family, but I am less sure if ir would be made to the news, plenty o children dies or go missing and not all cases gains media attention. I confess a lack of knowledge here, but does Nika don't know or don't remember ? Summer goes missing some time after the cabin, she was out to a travel, maybe the whole family died in a car accident or something. Maybe is not about the Nika's infatuation, but the mysteries that of his past, there is 100 ways to explain why Summer is gone.

I like the idea of witness protection, but I also don't. From a plot perceptive I think it works, from a character one less so. I think that whatever happened to Summer should be tied to Nika in some form, not that he need to me responsible but something he would feel responsible for, I just can't see a 14 years old boy losing himself completely over a teenager love that don't seemed to have lasted very long. I read it as a tragic and witness protection don't quite hits the same note.

Also I am less sure that Summer family is of any relevance, to be worth witness protection.

You are right again about the family, just want to say that I find odd the reluctance that of Nojiko and Nami to talk about what happened, I mean, if she simply died why they don't say it, " after Summer died". When we are at Vic's Nika explicit says that Summer disappeared, so I don't think she is dead. I have flirted with the idea that she was comatose, but now that we know about Bella sisters it feels to repetitive, unless they are somehow related. Maybe they made a plan to runway but Nami stopped Nika but was alredy too late for Summer ?

I completely agree, Summer should remain absent, bring her back don't adds nothing but cheap drama and lessens the story themes.

well,both his parents are in the great beyond or went on a secret milk run. I now laugh when I think about how both Nika and his "roomates" parents died in a car accident. Unless......perhaps they all died from the exact same car crash....doubtful. Idunno,sounds fishy.

I really like the speculation, but at times I can't help but feeling frustrated at the lack of firm ground to base any theory on. So far we know so little that almost anything is possible, as what is deal with Nika and Nami ? And are their parents dead or not ? Is it of importance ?

I don't remember witch version was, but I am fairly sure that at some points is mentioned that Nojiko was friend of both their parents that died in the same car crash. Fortuitously, they managed to pay the rent for the kid up to their 18 years to Njiko before they died so she took them as tenants.

Well, there is always summer mother to replace her, summer mother is still alive, isn't she?

...I actually enjoyed the tabletop game lol. I'm well aware i'm in the minority with that one . but I will say It did eat up precious time. Hopefully the next one isn't as excessive.
