I wonder what happened to Mc in the accident he had? Was he alone or with someone else? It never said how many years ago, or at least I wasn't paying attention
. What could possibly happen with Amber and Mc in the forest house... And lot more. The story of this game could be an amazing book, and Wiab too.
It's been 5 years since Summer vanished.
The MC has endured 5 years of nightmares, losing his first love. He has effectively isolated himself from the world, limiting almost all of his time to just Nami and Nojiko. I think that they both are trying to help him move past this loss as best they can. Noji was able to help both Nami and the MC overcome the loss of their parents and she could have been a big part of their lives prior to the death of their parents. The MC had no one to buffer him from the loss of Summer, even Nami can't.
Summers Gone has so many little details - breadcrumbs - that it is hard to keep track of them or even notice them the first time I see them.
I don't recall if the MC has had any nightmares since he and Bella started getting closer.
It could be that their growing relationship is suppressing the nightmares about Summer, at least for a time.
I find myself looking forward to the relationship intimacy before the physical intimacy with Bella. Imagine Bella and the MC falling asleep together during an afternoon, it could even happen in the next chapter - since neither of them got a great rest the previous night.
Imagine...
Bella wakes to the MC moving around, in the midst of a nightmare, calling out to Summer and she sees an echo of her own pain and loss, mourning her sister. She strokes his hair and gently holds him closer, slowly rocking him until he falls into a deeper sleep, the nightmare banished. She falls back to sleep smiling, unconsciously reveling in his scent... so much better than the hints she enjoyed, trying to bring him closer to her while smelling his jacket the night before.
Amber had come to check on them to see if they wanted anything to drink or eat and she was quietly marveling at Bella and the MC, wrapped up together, when this happens.
She smiles as she watches Bella respond with a tenderness she has not seen in years, then backs away quietly, unaware of the tears glistening on her cheeks.
Given their stories, this would be as powerful an emotional moment as any I have seen in the many AVN's I've enjoyed.
Summers Gone inspires these kinds of imaginings for me - something few other AVNs do.
So - Ocean - it's one word and I think it is inadequate to the task but...
Thanks!
