There's an old saying. "First loves are the best loves". Now for most of us that first love is lost. Maybe it's out grown by one or both. Maybe life puts distance, family, crisis, between us. Maybe one or both of us discover we're drawn to someone else. And so that first love is lost.Regarding Naomi I definitely agree. It indeed feels like nostalgia of the past relationship. But at least they did get some closure on that. And I totally agree on Becca situation on what you said like "We're not trying to get together". In fact now that you mentioned Becca I would like to se more of her in future updates. And I do agree with you. I also have this feeling that there'll be more unavoidable scenes with Naomi. As for Danielle there's 50 - 50 blame here. If Danielle did want to get back to Damon she could have done solo without dragging MC around. MC is to be blamed on several situations, like the one in Kent's building where they confronted receptionist, MC could simply walk away and say "You're on your own". But it's not only that. There are certain elements in the game where game doesn't give you a choice. When I'm on non Danielle's path (pursuing other girls) I do everything I can not to be involved in Danielle's shenanigans and game forces you to be part of it, whether you are on Danielle's route or not. You also nailed the part where you said that MC is constantly self sabotaging himself. Couldn't agree more. Like move along dude and stop self pitting yourself. I am glad that things are straight with Ada, she did throw proposal ring and it seems she is interested in MC. You're also right about Mira. She indeed have eyes only for MC. She's even polite with MC regarding Naomi situation when two of them sit in front of the studio. Sorry for long reply.
But rarely, perhaps very rarely, you both get a second chance. Not to step back to where you were, but to rekindle a new love founded in the first. Strangely if it works, this new love is still your first love, only different. Better. Stronger. Deeper. More enduring.
In real life, attempting to rekindle a first love usually fails. But the world is a damn big place, and, while millions fail, tens of thousands of couples in every age demographic succeed every year.
So the success of the MC's and Naomi's relationship is entirely dependent on the player. For you it's the waining tendrils of nostalgia. For me it's a chance to rebuild on a foundation I thought was lost. Not looking back but forward.
Of course as I've said elsewhere in this this thread. "And then there's Rose". So I have no idea where I'm going to take this. Hung on a pair of tenterhooks named Rose and Naomi.
