Continuing with Rachel, we don't quite get a full clear answer why she dresses up the way she does at night, but Brandon is beyond trying to force it out of her and for her efforts. He wants to return her notebook to her, as the two head off to go receive it from Erika's dorm.

Time skips ahead a bit after that until class is starting up, where we see Brandon take his seat and tries to pass time until John shows up. It's during this when he notices Nova walking into the class, placing her bag next to her desk and taking notice of him staring at her. She ends up awkwardly waving at him as he does back to her.

Brandon hasn't really addressed the awkwardness between them since he helped her back to her dorm that one night, thinking this might be his big opening to go chat with her and move past the awkwardness.

That is when he tries to stand up from his chair, when a sudden voice directly behind him asks where he thinks he's off to.

He already knows that the voice is Heather, trying to awkwardly slouch back into his chair as he isn't sure what to do now. This only makes things worst for him for ignoring her, as she asks him again while tipping his chair backwards, causing him to crash onto the ground.

This manages to grab everyone's attention, including John as he just walked into the room. While John and Heather begin going back and forth with each other, Brandon is too busy recovering and notices the position he's in allows him to fully see up her skirt.

He isn't looking to let her catch him looking though, as he tries to awkwardly stand back up and return to his chair as the two are continuing with their exchange. During this, Nova speaks up to defend Brandon about the situation.

This only ticks John off more, as he reminds Heather that she's been on thin ice lately with all the crap she's been doing and if she doesn't watch herself, he will find a suitable punishment for her. This clearly doesn't make her really happy as she tries complaining about it, making remarks which don't really help make her look any better.

John decides that to make it up to Brandon, she'll be helping and working alongside him on a history report. This isn't good news for her or Brandon, but there's some promise that if she doesn't keep herself in check. She'll be dealing with much worse.

Of course Heather is pissed about her new situation, as you two try to make the best of it and she pulls up a empty seat and John begins class. He goes over their diaper attendance and mentions of what they'll be doing today before letting them get into it.

The two begin working together and she continues to remind Brandon that none of this changes anything, that he's still her obedient servant and that this is only happening so that she can stay out of more trouble. This clicks in Brandon's head as his way to mess with her without any recourse.

He makes smart ass remarks about how cute her diaper design was and how unfitting it was for someone like her, among other back and forth remarks. She's fighting herself to keep calm, but that clearly doesn't seem to be working for her as the two quietly move along.

Along the way as things seem to settle down a bit, Brandon notices that she's nudging her knee into his. He asks why she keeps doing that, but it seems clear to him what's going on as she's lightly blushing and tells him to shut up.

Brandon's already been having a little fun from the situation and with how she recently treated his sister and himself the other night, he was looking to get a little payback the best that he could. He begins toying with her as the desperation continues until she can't hold it anymore and finally unleashes, completely wetting herself.

It isn't that long before the bell rings, which only reminds him that while he was safe within the classroom, she was clearly displaying on her face that once he steps outside this room... That she will show him some real punishing in private...

~Writer notes~

-This was a bit of an interesting event in ep 4, one that during planning I was worried might end up feeling a bit too "Heather serious" mode. Where I'd like to think episode 4 over all is pretty comedic and offers quite a good amount of fan service moments that fit. I knew that the original event that this was based on would need adjusted a bit though.

Mainly the old cosplay focus of the class is gone, along with a more dramatic exit seen before by Heather. Where now we'll see much of the original stuff re-done in a new way that honestly should feel about 50/50 in terms of touching on original stuff and offering a new experience.

-I really like the idea of seeing Heather as this major cruel, bully character in episode 3 and her conditions made with Brandon. Where one might get the idea that she'll give him a major hard time in the near future, where in episode 4 when we see her again. It gives off that tone for a moment, but quickly begins to shift the power into Brandon's hands even if on a much lighter scale than how Heather would be.

It does a nice display of having to see Heather keep herself toned down that makes sense this early on, but she seems dead set on punishing Brandon by the end. So I guess we'll have to wait and see what takes place for her future plans. :P

-The writing for this major event came out around 4000-4500 word count roughly. So far one of the bigger scenes of ep 4, but I'd say it's needed as well for Heather. I just hope fans of Heather will be very pleased with how she reacts and the fan service moments.

-One thing to mention, since it might pop up. Heather had a special cosplay outfit she wore originally for this classroom moment. I'd like to say that this will show up along the way, but I have something a bit more fitting planned with it.

-I'd like to think Heather as a character is handled in a good way, but there are some tiny things being done to help see progress more for her along the way. Not to spoil things ahead for those newer to the game project, but before in the original content. Heather probably had a bit of a lighter bully feeling for her intro, then we saw it toned down by story events and ever since then it sort of lays to the side.

I think this event in ep 4 will give a good idea that she isn't changing how she is because of what happened here, that Brandon might have to figure out a way to tone her down from 100% to at least 75%? I look forward to the comments on Heather moving forward, as iffy as this sounds. I promise to those who already know the older versions of the game, that we'll reach a reflection of that kind of Heather still.

-After this classroom event, there's a minor event that leads into the last major event of the episode. All of the rest will be highlighted in our final part of this behind the scenes writing, which will be coming very soon as we're nearly ready to get the episode released.

-Nova fans, I will say this for now. Hang tight! There's some clearing up that still needs done between Brandon and Nova since their little awkward event. :P
