Another random thought...
This scene, this line from the MC doesn't make sense to me. By this time the MC knows that Chad and Troy are in a relationship, so Chad certainly wouldn't have beat up Troy and taken his guitar.

So the MC shouldn't have said that. In my case the MC did not beat up Troy, I noticed he already had a black eye and bruises and realized someone had already beaten him up, thus Troy did not "let" anyone take anything, he tried to stop them. So the question is, who did it... Dawe maybe?
Instead I wish the MC, if they did not beat Troy up might have said something like...
"I almost did, until I saw you had a black eye and realized you had put up a fight. BTW, I never said thanks for that, for trying to defend my stuff."
I wish these two could have talked more and brought that detail full circle. Which would be interesting because if it was Dawe, how does Chad actually feel about that and would that be another reason for Chad to help the MC, especially if it would let Chad indirectly get back at Dawe for what he did to Troy.
