And then in hindsight everyone calls it “foreshadowing.” But if they react as though they don’t want the thing, then he steers the plot away from it, and in hindsight it just looks like a really weird tease, or in some cases even feels like a retcon. He’s “foreshadowed” lots of storylines that then didn’t happen, like all those times it really seemed like Brun was gonna be down for the threesome, or the couple of times it seemed like Emily was gonna fuck someone but then didn’t.
