This is where I was going with it. I was scratching my head wondering if there might be a justification to have John bring Tihana home with him for the night, and then this one lept out and made perfect sense. If they've already given up on her and spend all their time trying to mitigate the social damage she does to the family, they very well may just shy of pimp her out to John in exchange for a favor to keep the damage to the rest of the family minimal.

Makes sense, I'm still trying to figure out what the ''real'' implications of disowning her might be, in the sense of what would it change it she just ends up pregnant but it's still their daughter. In a more normal society, the grandparents might take care of the mother and child as their own, but in here I can see the parents asking any single male to take their daughter's hand in marriage just so she isn't a single mother. Maybe even agreeing for her to be the "mistress" of an influential man, even if not married, so she would at least have some social status. Otherwise she would probably will end in the whorehouse. | |||
One thing this post made me think of was John's house in town. I had not put any thought about where he lives, so you can house him wherever you want. I do think he would prefer to live in a shoe box on his own, than having to share the house with someone in town, so I doubt he just rents a room in a bigger house. This brings me to the economy of town, which is something I had thought about but never put in writing. The town has some kind of industry, that still gives the majority of jobs for the male population, but it's slowly loosing force, I haven't found what exactly that industry is, but it's what's keeping the town alive and dying. Clearly there is very few tourism, so there would only be at most one motel, perpetually empty, perhaps right next door to the whorehouse, where the clients are clients of both establishments. Since the town's population is decreasing (even with all the pregnancies), there would be a good number of houses for sale, so you have plenty of options to choose form for John's housing arrangements. | |||

This is where I was going with it. I was scratching my head wondering if there might be a justification to have John bring Tihana home with him for the night, and then this one lept out and made perfect sense. If they've already given up on her and spend all their time trying to mitigate the social damage she does to the family, they very well may just shy of pimp her out to John in exchange for a favor to keep the damage to the rest of the family minimal.
