They are on drugs and the boss has to cover everyone and their pussy from scrutiny.
In any firm the boss is the one who has most to loose, as anyone under her would just get off and go somewhere else.
This is also a small company, it is not presented as backed by some magnate or some big pharma corporation,
so in this kind of environment, where MC and her are doing the heavy lifting, you cannot let this thing drag you under, or else.
I can't quite put my finger on it but it just feels like the tone is off half the time. Like everybody is on happy drugs or something.
This is a very happy drug and the whole alllure of basically the elixir/potion of love gets to peole in the game.
Just remember the couples that reacted very different to it and the whole process of the drug trials.
Hustlers and ladies men are all around us and having one in this game consistently using his ”charms” to make women do his bidding is not that far fetched - they do exist and the levels of banter they do to literally any woman they meet, confident that any way -shape-or form she slips up - they will bang her - yes they do it and get the thrills by emasculating their peers, just like the guy does to MC multiple times.
