      This shows how little I pay attention to the NPCs. I had no idea Marnie was a mom. I thought she was just fucking the Mayor, and couldn’t figure out what the controversy was. I was like “dude! The mayor is 50s, Marnie is 40s, what’s the big fucking deal that they’re fucking??? Mayors don’t have a vow of chastity! They aren’t nuns!”

      But now I realize Marnie must be cheating on the dad. But I seriously have no idea who the dad is, or who the kid is…I thought it was just Marnie living in a barn with animals …

        Marnie is more or less Jas’ adoptive parent, Jas is her niece, and Shane is her nephew (but there’s some unclear stuff with that family’s relationships beyond that).

        The scandal with the mayor and Marnie’s relationship seems to be that the mayor is responsible for collecting taxes from the business owners in the town, and he’s clearly doing shady shit with the towns money so what’s a bit of tax evasion for his hookup?

        Spoiler

        There’s a golden statue of the mayor you can find behind his house, it’s never established where it came from but he gets upset if you put it somewhere visible in town.
