I was pondering how BB met MC and came up with a theory... (I'm not sure if anyone's thought of this already tho)
MC might drinkβ it's hinted at during the dare route when she drinks half a bottle of straight liquor. That feat is DIFFICULT man!
So, what ifffff MC drank a lot in the past?
This leads to the possibility of her going out often as well. Now comes the real shit.
Picture this:
MC visits a particular bar more than most; it could be considered her favorite to go to.
She goes there, gets a few drinks, the whole one two. Clearly, she's just living it up alone, maybe even with friends.
There's a man that's been watching her lately.
She doesn't notice because she's too fucked up to pay that close attention to her surroundings, so it unintentionally makes her a target.
He sits in his secluded corner of the bar, keeping an eye on the door due to habit from the army.
He thinks to himself: "She's stupid. Getting drunk to the extent of barely functioning is incredibly irrational.". He's annoyed at her recklessness, but he can't stop eyeing her. Something about her is magnetic to him, and others think that too.
Seeing that, it unlocks a deep sense of possessiveness he didn't know he had. He plays it off at the start, simply titling it as "She's just sexy".
However, it gets deeper.
He begins to look for his reckless woman every night. His curiosity gets the best of him and he picks up on her habits and personality... Soon developing into learning her mannerisms, routines... The textbook definition of stalking.
It was just curiosity, though!
And although he remains in the shadows, she eventually notices this regular wallflower and becomes intrigued by him, somewhat.
Glancing at the corner of her eye every once in a while, they make eye contact. That's what flips the switch.
"I'm in love with her..."
"She needs protection. She's weak."
"I need to protect her..."
This is reaaaally the tipping point.
Once they got in direct contact, she could've caught him beating a creep (that had been preying on her) to absolute pulpβ damn near killing the guy. This, or she witnessed him murdering someone, or heard and analyzed suspicious comments he dropped without a second thought, especially if he tried to cover it up.
Either way, she then would see him in a much different light, ultimately viewing him as a possible danger.
This hurt.
After all their happy memories together; the joyrides, the hangouts, both deep and meaningless conversations had, maybe her teaching him the alphabet? She still doesn't fully trust him?
He slams his red helmet on the ground, shattering a good portion of it.
He doesn't care.
He doesn't care.
He doesn't care.
He can't care.
He can't care for a stupid girl he met at a shitty bar.
A girl he stalked endlessly, nightly even. Day in and day out.
She ran thousands of miles through his mind, and this is all he ends up with?
Maybe he backed off at the wrong time.
Maybe the creep from earlier came back for revenge on a night she drank too much.
Maybe she accidentally killed the man in self defense, and then called him begging for help, not knowing what the hell to do next.
And maybe he got rid of the body for her, promising she'd never get punished if he's there. "BB is here now, don't worry..."
Addition: It be ultra fucked if Lane was a bartender at a bar MC went to often. It's a decent explanation of her maybe knowing him before her loss of memory.
Also, ty for reading this far! I didn't actually mean for this to become a fanfic wannabe, but it's late asf for me so I let my mind run through all the possibilities of this story before I crash π
Edit: I just thought of this additional detail- What if BB would carry MC from the bar when she got too drunk? It's a little far fetched, but it might be on the table.
