The only thing I came up as explanation is that he felt she was trying to leave him and he felt this was the only way to keep her. There is no reasonable explanation why she accepted though.
That's a reasonable guess, but to me it seems like something more serious than just fear of her leaving. He cheated on her in school and even says he didn't love her. To me it screams something deeper must be going on... perhaps parental or some other interference. He doesn't *seem* like the kind of personality scared to be alone, although he had already started replacing Keyla before he broke up with her... maybe there is something there. :unsure:

As for Keyla, I'm waiting for more story details as we are still very early into her and Zeke's story. More will have to come out about why Zeke was so desperate, as telling of what actually happened.

It's hard to properly assess what's really going on with Zeke/Keyla. We are still very early into the game's story, so I'm also putting Kim on that same rope. I need to see more about why she did what she did; and why she thought it was best handled the way she did.

Well I'm pretty sure even weirder things happened irl, but for the key points in a story there has to be better reasons. I saw many reasons why they shouldn't do that and none why they should - this part felt way too forced for the sake of the plot.

Many games suffer from this problem - they add things in plot for the sake of drama and MC is supposed to forgive and forget to get the girl. There is one important difference to real life though - in real life ex-girlfriends doing this shit are actually pretty shitty as a human being while in the game they are perfect girls that made some mistakes, but are otherwise almost perfect.
If in life decisions are made for right/wrong reasons, and I personally love seeing it reflected in stories. I like characters that are not "perfect" and can be humanized. That's why games like Leap of Faith are so popular and also so dividing. It's a gut-wrenching game, but yet it's filled with broken but fantastic characters all fighting different struggles you don't see until the story delves into their lives.

so true. It's alot of the reason why my pov in alot of these threads is me being to damn forgiving with things where most people wouldn't. Or I just never considered something a LI did to be shitty and bad until after I played the game and read about other comments on the thread about said LI.
Yeah, I often do and experience the same. I try to give every LI/SG the benefit of the doubt, and let the story determine if it's something I can look past or not. Perhaps I enjoy and spend too much time reflecting on the actual characters, what they tell me, what I experience

There's some games I just can't handle it (many corruption games) as it just hurts my brain to try and understand the story and what the actual mental age of a character is with decisions they make. There's some where it's so bad it almost feels like nails are literally scratching my brain.

I also try to give most LIs a pass for a few things just for the sake of content. Plus, I'm a sucker for reconnecting with exes, like Steph from Leap of Faith. Sometimes though, a LI just doesn't do it for me, or they do something so egregious I can't accept it.

Kim fits the bill here. I don't accept what she did and she's not attractive enough to make up for it. Plus, since coming back, she hasn't really done much to make it worth reconnecting, even if you're on her path. It's basically the MC making all the moves, which is fair, she was probably terrified to make a move herself and get rejected.

I mean in a vacuum she is not that bad looking, especially if you put a bag over head with that awful hair, but given her history I ain't going back to that walking disaster of a relationship. She could be a 10/10 for all I care (which she is not), not happening.

I did wonder for a while if I would be as hard on the character if it was Julia in Kim's role...or Kimmy.

if she had Riley's character model you would have an altar of her stuff in your closet back at Dina's place :cautious: :Kappa:

I'm the same i'm a big sucker for Exes as well i'll even play their path if they are a horrible person as I want to see how bad the MC gets fucked over lol and I just want to the see the content. the only differences is I give Kim enough of a pass to play her path just for sake of seeing so it's more like a temporary pass. However there are a few LI out I can't give a temporary pass too no matter what , I can only think of 2 LI right now.
