Overall, after this update, I'm once again convinced of how balanced the writers are in their approach to Carnation's personality.
With the introduction of Denise, players now have an example in front of their eyes of what might have happened to Felicia if she had continued to live her dream.
Some players now have an additional reason to love Felicia and become stronger in their desire to help her win, while others will become even more disappointed in her because she chose money over her dreams and pride.
On the other side we have Veronica, who literally went with fanatical perfectionism towards her dream of being a champion and opening a gym with her "exceptionally correct" methods and approaches to training process, that with each failure she only buried herself deeper and deeper, which led to breaking up with her wife, falling into a financial trap and ending up at The Club.
It would seem that with the last Carnation, Rosalind, everything would be on the surface - because of her husband's debts, she is here, threatened by bandits. I guess the casual player/reader will have sympathy for her, she's just a mother trying to get out of debt and protect her child from possible turmoil.
But does that make her situation any more special, especially against the background of the other characters in the game?
Edwin's mother has become a porn star to keep the family afloat after her husband's death. Hana's mother is also a porn star. Liza joined the club so her son could get into a prestigious university . Even a third-rate character like Harper mentions in a conversation with Edwin that she needs to pick up her son from the babysitter.
With that in mind, why should Rosalind get special treatment?
great chapter, as awlays.
