If you read my posts you´ll see that i am VERY aware that much of the Sophia-Edwin meeting was a test for currently debatable reasons. Not only I, the player, but Edwin himself is also aware of that fact, you can see it in the ingame character pages.
Nevertheless our MC and Sophia connected via their shared nerdiness quite well (depending on our choices here). Sophia is an amoral genius nerd, cold, calculating and eccentric. As mentioned as cold as she is/can be, she could have easily sat out anything that happened in the blue room while watching the Carnations, neither Kath nor Edwin would have been surprised. Instead she chose to become involved and we can get quite a makeout sesssion with her.
During the "home invasion" we can also get some banter berween Edwin and Sophia and even the scene ImSenjou showed in his post. No, Sophia and Edwin are not there yet, but they show some real chemistry and connection. What will come from that, we will see (and decide) in further updates.
Again, I see Sophia very differently. I don't think she was testing the MC, at least not in the sense that she was comparing him against preexisting objective criteria. I think she was simply poking him and noting how he responded because it gave her something to do. Like Sherlock Holmes, I suspect her brain craves stimulation; Holmes would resort to cocaine when business was slow, Sophia prefers to dose people with an unlicensed aphrodisiac. :confused:

IMHO, her making out with the MC has nothing to do with her feelings for him, she just wanted to figure why he wasn't getting off and fix that so she could get back to watching the Carnations who were testing the drug she actually cares about. She theorized Kathleen's handjob wasn't doing it for him, so she took action herself. If the MC starts kissing Sophia, she plays along until she gets the result she was looking for, at which point she seemed to lose all interest in him. Likewise, I see no banter in her quoted exchange with the MC in his living room. He said something she didn't understand so she asked for clarification.

This isn't to say that there can't be a more meaningful relationship between the MC and Sophia in the future; we're clearly going to be spending more time with her. But as of right now, I see nothing in her behavior that can't be explained as well (or better) by Sophia being every bit the disinterested henchwoman she appears to be at first glance. Your mileage clearly varies.

Man, I think that everybody will agree with me when I say that there does exist "some" middle way between being virgin and being gangbanged on a table in front of spectators because you "need" to test a drug you've just concocted.

-gangbanged on a table in front of spectators because you "need" to sate the creator and audience's desire for humiliation.

I felt the same way about the scene where they're playing Go on the house girl's butt. Felt superfluous. Neither of these grossed me out, rather just like I was being beaten over the head by the narrative.

If this turn you off from a girl in this game you are probably playing the wrong game. I guess for now you have Hana or Mina but it seems likely that it won't be the case forever. All the girls will probably do something "a bit" extrem sexualy at some point.
I kind of hope not while I have no issue with anything in this game. What makes me like these 2 LI more than others is the fact that they are more normal and not doing anything extreme. I mean okay Mina wants to experiment so it would be in her character to try to do some extreme stuff here and there but I hope Hana doesn't.

I don't think so. It was an introduction to Serena: it's her "field" - she's one of the girls posing as living statues in the room before the second exhibition.

yep, not my kind of girl when she goes through stuff like that voluntarily. They don't have to be virgin but there is a limit

Maybe it's just a difference in taste then, because 10 seconds of that material is enough for me to understand the story, I don't need any more.

Bro, what can I tell you?

Uncle Chuck clearly tells Kat that Abel & Sophia must stop using Edwin as their lab rat, BUT I GUESS THEY JUST WON'T LISTEN TO IT.

And this is what our MC Edwin thinks of the situation:

Reminder for all the dudes who want to fuck Sophia.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
When I say that I ignored Sophia before, I'm not exaggerating, I don't even remember that scene, can anyone tell me what scene was that, or a dialogue from that scene, so I can look it up here?
I looked in the game's images folder, but couldn't find it.

My preference in women in AVN's is always the most different ones, the ones that stand out, and in PC, Sophia is one, that's why I'm interested in her, Hana is another.

Dude is still defending his draconian ass views about eating pussy.... in a game that forces you to be subservient to Kathleen, forces you to ride "bitch" with hana, and anything else that would be out of place 100 years ago? Surely it's the degradation of eating pussy not his Eurotophobia. (Only scared of their vagina nor scared of them giving him handjobs) :KEK:

Bro, what can I tell you?

Chuck tells Kathleen to stop playing games with Edwins head because he is family (rose 2nd performance). Chuck couldn't tell Abel to do anything that's kind of their whole rivalry deal. Besides that has already been ignored because of the scene with Kathleen and Sophia that happens after.

I'm also skeptical Sophia connected with the MC much at all. I think she was much more interested in gauging his responses than she was in the MC himself. That could always change, but it would probably require the MC display whatever the spark of genius is that separates "arbitrarily good" from "great" in her mind. To date he has not done that.
I think if you (try to) resist the drug her and Kathleen give you Sophia acts a bit surprised/interested (more than usual) in Edwin being able to do that before comparing Edwin to Chuck but like you said that's not in the Edwin specifically just in anybodies ability to resist it.

That´s dedication to your job! ;)

Agreed!

Hey, our different views are great for discussions, always fun! While I agree that some questions were Sophia simply going with the flow of conversation, I have the strong feeling that part of the test was checking some predefined boxes/criteria. Sophia simply sating her mental stimulation desires could have gone with a myriad of topics and to top it off we have the "home invasion" just a bit later. A "disinterested henchwoman" would certainly not lead to such a chain of events!
The timing of the home invasion is simply too suspicious. Abel and Sophia could have met the MC/invaded his home with advice days before or days later, if it were just the two being worried about the fate of the nice guy recognising Abel on their first meeting.

If the MC starts kissing Sophia, she plays along until she gets the result she was looking for, at which point she seemed to lose all interest in him.
It is stated ingame that Sophia really starts to get into it with the MC until he comes, where her scientist persona takes over again. But the thing is not how fast she goes back to watching the Carnations, but that Sophia participated in this makeout session at all. Were Sophia disinterested in the MC, she could have simply observed what happens and why he does not come and shows some remarkable staying power. Such observation of unusual ractions to stuff is part of testing new drugs.

Likewise, I see no banter in her quoted exchange with the MC in his living room. He said something she didn't understand so she asked for clarification.
There is earlier during the "bug presenation" and the quoted exchange has a bit of it in that Sophia was surprised where that quote comes from since Gandhi said something similar. The MC could have used the Gandhi quote instead.

Uncle Chuck clearly tells Kat that Abel & Sophia must stop using Edwin as their lab rat, BUT I GUESS THEY JUST WON'T LISTEN TO IT.
That is not correct, sorry! Chuck tells KAT to stop using the MC in HER mind games, there is nothing about Abel and Sophia in that talk. I truly doubt Chuck knows much about Sophia´s inventions.

The table wasn't really about her testing the drug; rather, how far this woman was willing to go for the old man Edwin made nice with. If anyone remembers, but Abel later offers Sophia to Edwin, and obviously Chuck has his blessing for his roundabout foreplay with her. I see the way Abel freely offers his head researcher to associates as a form of self-exaltation. He's showing off, basically.

In hindsight, I think that gets lost on the initial viewing because the reader only sees her standing next to Abel like once and assumed she was a house girl (if they recognized her at all), but I still like the combination punch of showing a yet-to-be-revealed powerful woman's depraved side before she has even been properly introduced.

I mean... you're not wrong. It's a porn game, bro.

Everything starts from the premise of do I find this hot? From there, it's working backwards to see if it can be cogently framed to fit the scenario and characters. It's a balance between doing what your penis tells you to do and tempering it so it doesn't veer off track from your brain parts.

Now, is casually playing a board game on a prostitute's ass both a juvenile and porn-brained concept of "excess and power"? Hell yeah, it is. That's Pale Carnations in a nutshell.

Personally I'm interested in "her side" of those events. We knows she's super intelligent but appears to be on the border of a "house girl" for Abel. Why? We haven't seen anything yet that would have prevented her from going the "normal route" could it be for Love? Lust? Ludicrously evil 5d chess plan? Exploring her character is more interesting than two "doctors" exchanging medical terms during sex like Edwin is one to do :KEK:
