VN Ren'Py Abandoned Summer's Gone [S1 Steam + DLC] [Oceanlab]

[lonelyk]

Care? protection? she and Robin have been following him like private eyes tailing an unfaithful husband.

No idea why you think Sasha has something to do with Summer. You literally don't know anything. You only know she knows students who come from her former high school, which is NOT the high school Nika, Nami and Nia attended.
Everybody except Nika, Nia and Nami apparently attended the same high school (Mila too, who comes from a very different environment than Sasha).

Nothing in the story either tells or hints about Sasha's scar. Nobody talks about it, nor Nika ponders about it. Therefore anything you might argue about her scar is 100% imaginary. We don't know anything about it.

Chill, I was speculating with my own thoughts as we always do on the thread. Why is that triggering you like this? Are you going to go off on all the other users discussing their theories? That'd be a full-time job.

And yes, Sasha has softened Nika's fall with her hand at the gym, and she has followed him to help him with his panic attack. I'd say she has shown care/protection for him.

Mobs - cosa nostra, or Chicago ... they are the business behind the business owners.
Mobsters take protection money from rich business owners.
Owners who own half the town are cartel owners, meaning they will exert business pressure
on everybody else.

he is not looking like tybald....
yep he is wierd ... he is part of mobs.. bella told u that if u have problem go to him.

Zane is the last name of the MC and his family in Where It All Began

Leia's last name is Zane in Where It All Began

Both the MC of SG and the MC of WiAB dine at the Relucia Diner. The leaf symbol also appears all the place so they are both located in Wollust. A particular earring also appears in both games. Other than that nothing too significant. None of the characters have interacted with each nor have they cameos in each other's games. Have to wait and see for now.

this small texas town of 14,000 people is suspiciously affluent and exciting.

this must also explain the 20 year old $1200/hour lawyer, the 20 year old multiple small business owning mob boss, the boutique clothing shop selling $10,000 suits. never saw any of this passing through the panhandle myself. well, i saw bikers.

But I am aware that they are a rich and powerful family, even before the events of SG. Leia has successful bars and clubs businesses and Katie in the events of WIAB is starting her fashion business and going into sports if I remember correctly. I am not that knowledgeful of what the others do.

Also in the events of SG the Zane family have part ownership and sponsorship of the ZPR college.

So if the Zane's is considered a "mafia" family it is implied that they have criminal influences and criminal ties with them, like extortion, black market, tax evasion, etc.

Was there any events in WIAB that I missed that implies that they are the mafia?

Is considered a mafia family? i thought it's just a very rich and influential family.

I've seen post claiming that the Zane's is a Mafia. Maybe is all speculation

Te fact Mc had a gun in the first place, thought to use it and even had the chance to use it in the initial game,
while the adult MC in the real adult game where the mob all begun, we are talking about a rich American family,
the kind of rich that affords pivate security that will run things like a mafia.
MC and the dad in that other game were enforcers, doing the gun riding on their fellow business owners.

Mobs today are more like motorcycles clubs - they run delivery and own business fronts like the old timers,
remember the moonshine routes, now these are drug routes, while drugs get hidden in literally any and all produce
that drops doyly into your grocery.

Those girls dresed like saloon whores sure look like upscale bars drugs might be run through for high rollers.
Remember the last batman movie - girls be all skimpy, but the patrons would be too hammered/druggies to touch them.
Also, bars owned by the likes of the MC or his dad in Where it all began could give rich clientelle hard drugs while
having enticingly dressed hostesses keep dancing on and around them but only to enhance the drug effects, no actual prostitution.

Can someone explained to me on how the Zane family is considered a "mafia"?

I haven't played WIAB in sometime and the update to that game is coming pretty soon, so information about the Zane family maybe a bit off.

But I am aware that they are a rich and powerful family, even before the events of SG. Leia has successful bars and clubs businesses and Katie in the events of WIAB is starting her fashion business and going into sports if I remember correctly. I am not that knowledgeful of what the others do.

A preference and preview of one of Leia's business in the next chapter

mafia what mafia, are you talking about man? zane's family only works in waste management, all the other legal family businesses are just small investments, to sum up they all work in waste management and I don't want to hear more about that mafia. got it?.

 

[sorco2003]

I think this comes from the old WIAB, which Ocean repeatedly called outdated and not relevant to new story. But nevertheless, many elements have been transfered into the new story, perhaps the mafia thing will be saved too. I don’t remember the old version well, and, to be honest, I didn’t really like it, but it seems that Scarlet’s husband, the brother-in-law of the MC's landlady, is in prison and is clearly connected with local gangs. Also Leia's business is somewhat shady, but I don't remember that quite right. We need sorco2003 here, he might remember

Precisely, the connection was the gangs, where both William's father and uncle were part of (they talk a lot about the fall of one of those gangs for the rise of a faction, who are after Leia).

Noice reference

 

[Ottoeight]

Maybe...maybe Sasha is a female noble warrior coming from the future and she got the scar trying to fight an eldritch alien monster from another dimension who tried to attack her world.

Yup, sounds plausible enough for me.

Most plausible reason for her scar (according to what the story has told us by now): she got it in a match against Ayua.

The gun was not his, it belonged to the teacher

Pure imagination, my dear sir

Well, no one has ever hinted at her scar but Ayua and Nami.

I don't agree with that in the least! I think the attached pictures perfectly proves the opposite.

hehe, and here is one of the members of this gang in Ch5 SG.
The group run by Uncle Joe (Scarlett's husband and Katarina and Lucas' father) in the old WIAB was called "MC".
By the way, this biker is very similar to Uncle Joe, but in the old WIAB he was covered in tattoos.

 

[Sir. Cockalot]

Most of the characters know each other from highschool or even earlier so they likely know about how she got the scar or at the least the curiosity died out. the scar will probs be mentioned when if and when it becomes relevant.

well nika is an asshole, but he's an attractive asshole with a jaw made for cutting diamonds. The moment she finds out nika don't have erections she'll probably lose interest.

My heart belongs to Bella, but I also really like Zara.

 

[PaxHadrian17]

It's tricky to draw the line and not add all secondary/background characters. I've now added the one with the hat and a few others but it's always going to be arbitrary. :/


She protects and cares for Nika, all the while she also regularly is pretty hostile towards him. I think she was probably impacted in the event that led to Summer's disappearance, probably where she got her scar, and Nika couldn't give a fuck as he only had eyes for Summer + his trauma so he does not remember her.


Yeah she's gorgeous and why I included her despite only showing up in one scene as a background non-speaking character. I also included Wrong Cheeto that we only saw once. She's very pretty as well! I started to think that Ocean does not know how to make unattractive characters, but thankfully Chapter 5 brought more variety in that regard

I get the sense that Sasha is ambivalent towards the MC.

On the one hand, she objects to having to exercise with him and does not want him to sit next to her in the book club.

But then she makes the most direct gesture of helping him when she gives him a pill to help him in the middle of a panic attack, revealing something about herself that we would have otherwise not known.

It feels like a bit of a love/hate relationship.

For your final pic - I did get a kick out of the MC's response when he got her attention, then realized that she was not Nami once she turned around... Wrong Cheeto...

I feel like I will be revisiting Season 1 with new eyes once we get well into Season 2. There will be hints I did not recognize, and I enjoy the 'easter eggs' of the various mysteries we get to discuss and, eventually, solve.

Cheers!!

I just don't think we have enough of the puzzle pieces to really know what happened to Sasha and why she tries so hard to stay away from him.
