Since there are goals, you can have choices (there are currently few very choices in Those Days and I don't think they even matter). Maybe there's actually nothing between Cott and his buddy, maybe the kid will get closer to him and leave Cott alone (maybe Lis could try to hook them together? That'd be fun too), or maybe the kid will stay with Cott, or the vacation will end and nothing will change. Now you have a classic love triangle with a bitch in the middle, you have interactions, conflict and stakes. so he starts hanging with the lumberjack buddy to try and untangle the mess caused by Lis.Īnonymous 06/10/22(Fri)08:24:54 No. The kid is on his own: Cott is keeping people away and Lis is a harpie. Thus when she realizes that her lies didn't turn the kid away, she threatens him of tell his mom (the kid report back to his mom every now and then - he struggles to find things to say to her because he's obsessed with Cott and she doesn't know about his preferences). Lis has no one else but her brother and in her drunk mind, she thinks that he'll have less time for her if he gets into a relationship. Kid feels bad for Cott, goes to Lis for advice. He isolates himself to work on the house. Cott learns about his sister's gossips and is now mad at her, torn between his old buddy and the younger kid.
She tries to sabotage the kid's and Cott's relationship by saying he's going after him because he's young and he's no the first to fall for his charms. That nebulous obstacle that wasn't supposed to happen until the finale is now a clear threat: there's obviously something going on between Cott and him, and the kid is potentially getting in the way. Things are getting traction when the lumberjack shows up to everyone's surprise. The kid gets closer to Cott and it's reciprocal. When the job is over Cott plans to move elsewhere with a lumberjack buddy for a log cabin project. Cott says he'll stay until he's done repairing the house (they visit it together and it's almost done- Cott has obligations toward the house and he has a limited amount of time he can spend with the kid: chapters can be divided in days on a calendar showing the deadline getting closer). Quick draft (close enough to the original script): the kid is sent by his mom to that place for vacation where he meets Cott.
