So, when I picture Rainn singing, I hear Amy Lee. But then I wonder... The songs she sings are more screamo. And I wonder does she have the voice of an angel or is it more like Alissa White-Glutz from Arch Enemy? Maybe Lacey Sturm?

Man, hearing Alissa in Arch Enemy makes me miss her in The Agonist. Wish AE would take advantage of her cleans more. As for Rainn, I never really sat back and thought about what her voice would sound like, honestly. But without sitting too long and overthinking it, I'd say some mix of

, with a sprinkle of Lacey/Flyleaf or maybe early Maria Brink/In This Moment (probably closer to Lacey, though.)? For sure, the music is rooted more in the 2008-2014(-ish) scene kid-core styled stuff (think Stand Up and Scream or Reckless and Relentless-era Asking Alexandria, Myka Relocate, Like Moths to Flames, The Plot In You, most of the 2010's Risecore-era lineup, and so forth.)
In my main playthrough, I skipped all the sex scenes for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, the mood was not right. The setting is dark and they are both going through "break-ups." In Logan's case, a decision to move forward sexually with Leigh is a major thing. I was not prepared to jump into that yet. And the second reason was that the sex scenes with Rainn were so aggressive and near violence (as in the act itself is violent, forceful...and the violence, fighting turns her on).
I did watch the scenes in an alternate playthrough. Thought they were fine. The lesbian scenes are just so forced...forceful. And there is an aspect of Rainn that likes that. Being choked. Subordinate. Submissive. I am not sure that is how I want to see her. So by choosing not to have sex, she has more of a backbone. Not a slave to hormonal or emotional urges. And befitting Logan's character so far (and for that matter, Luke as well), he is more feminine...Except when he is angry. But Luke and Logan — more than choosing to have sex — acquiesce. They resign to the fact that they might as well do it. I wonder if that makes sense?
Edit: Except with Jada... Then Logan is very dominant. Interesting.
The first one in the park, I very much agree. Which is why it's being removed. It was very much contrived, unnecessary, and added little to nothing of value within the story - on top of just being outright illogical (like you said, fresh breakup, barely knew Reagan, etc.). I'll be keeping the park scene, but sex is gone.
Maybe flirting, maybe a kiss, maybe nothing. Not quite sure yet. Will just roll with whatever comes at the moment. I wouldn't consider the latter one forceful, though very much leaning into the sub-dom play. It's more of a nature of the relationship-type thing.
I think it's okay to somewhat separate the dynamic between sex and real life interactions, as in a girl may be tough in front of others, but lean into a more submissive/feminine side when it comes to sex. The dichotomy of which offers a bit more substance within personality, but that isn't something that should exist in more than one character. Other relationships will be calmer (sexually, at least?
).
Luke's scene is also being re-written. A necessary scene (Luke isn't a protagonist, despite making choices with characters.) as it'll end up deciding a couple things, but I'll offer choice in limiting what the viewer wants to see of it. Just gotta find a way to do it naturally.
As for Logan, I'd say he's more detached. Distant from reality, just sort of going where the wind takes him, with the flow of things. A lack of aim, or passion, that gets found as the story grows. Reason's that'll be covered later. That part was written with character development in mind. Same with
Hannah.
