I'm digging this conversation but I'll bow out pretty soon, we're going in circles because we don't have enough info.
- All narrative choice are odd until they're substantiated, and I guess we'll see. Ocean's cabin that's 6 hours drive away yet in walking distance is odd too (my favourite plot hole to dig into).
- I've never gone to a birthday and bought a present for someone I didn't know. I'm guessing that Summer was already a friend, we know Summer made a friend with Nami, she turned Nika from an enemy to a friend, she's friendly. And obsesive about Nika.
- The therapy question exists regardless of the gun even when the gun was in the game. SO the therapy is not contingent on any of Nika's choices about the gun. It could be the accident, but then why not include VIc? That's the obvious thing to do.
