Characters are a bit younger than those of our life 1, I think 3 or 4 years of difference between the timelines if I remember correctly.
Well, nothing to be sad about, Cove is having the time of his life with the MC of the first game, and it's not like Cove would make an apperance in second game, it would kind of make the things werid, I belive.
no, it's about Baxter in the hang out event when a choice is made, he talks about how he and the friends drifted away from each other. Also, in the sightseeing event he talks about how he felt like he didn't really have friends that he was just the rich kid in town. It's just I feel like I didn't do enough to maintain or at least help him feel like he is wanted, but in the end, I couldn't do anything, and judging by the wedding DLC we most likely won't ever see him again. That is what makes me sad. Not Cove I'm not worried about this time.
