6k renders is about half of season 1. Even with branching there will be a lot of progression. Katie's not going to be there are be mute, we're going to see things in the background of Ayua's studio, as well as whatever she says when she talks about it. Events with Zara are guaranteed to be training in some fashion, we're already getting vibes that they'll be going with Mila to check out the house, and there's the openning night of the bar. We have weird scenes with Noji at night as and in the spa, we have a day at college where Bella uses Claire's office (same top as the Ayua render where Bella's sleeping on NIka's shoulder, unless those are just renders Ocean did on the side).
I can't imagine we won't learn anything at all in that time, and that's not including spending time with Vanessa, who loves secrets, no mention of Sasha, who will be going semi nude modelling, not mentioning Nia's potential info after her bombshell, especially if you go with her for drinks, the coaches are currently pissed at Nika for missing a night of training...
There's almost too much to list. Same as in WiaB, the plot progresses from interaction - we know about Melanie because you ripped Zara's shirt in effect, then you bump into her sister/policeofficer. Something Ocean does in an interesting way is providing the information without making it sound like someone's written a play, there's very few weird expositions, things just happen.
Also the sad image of Ayua in class is after the studio event, so it'll be interesting to see how the interactions go - also, if we're NOT on Bella's path, do we have a different scene without her sleeping on Nika's shoulder?
