Imogen Reed's relationship with Catherine

[PrideTheBest]

What's Imogen Reed's relationship with Catherine? When you're scanning Simon, you find out that you're in Imogen's body and Catherine will say that she was her then change it and say that she was nice to her.

Sounds like she would say girlfriend but if you look at the story and all that, it doesn't seem that Catherine and Imogen are that close. So would she going to say friend? It seem like she was, but then why would she hesitate? Maybe it's nothing like an official one, like she likes to think of her as a friend as you can tell when you find Catherine's dead body that Catherine didn't have any friends, so that's why she probably hesitated?

And like, if Imogen was her girlfriend, she had a girlfriend without any friends? I don't know, if I have to guess, I have to say she was going to say friend because she consider her as one instead of girlfriend like what most people think.

Catherine was just not the type of person to have a lot of friends, that's all.

I suppose Imogen was just one of these "random friends", like how every farmer has a friend named Larry with who they'll always share time but never talk to.
(totally stole that reference from Family Guy)

Hey!

They were just acquaintances but Catherine was very timid and took any act of kindness or likeness towards her as a very big deal and so she thought more of Imogen than what was really there. It was most likely purely friendly. You know, she was the kind of person who thinks someone who talks to them every now and then and doesn't mind them being around sees them as their best friend even though they really aren't best friends or in any way close friends at all.

Were you born so myopic? Or did you have to work at it?

You can't just make up lies like that.

Re: "You can't just make up lies like that"

It's not a "lie":
1) It's not as if it was clearly established NOT to be the case
2) Leaving something up to people's own imagination/interpretation is a fairly popular approach in story telling - it lets the viewer/player shape parts of the experience with their own imagination

Seriously, are you just trolling or angry that some people like to exercise their mind's imagination.

Just because most story telling let people have their own interpretation doesn't mean you can just make up lies like that. And it is a lie.

Actually I Think that they where, there is the ''evidence'' that has already been talked about. How Catherine refers to Reed with her voice tone. There is the recorded log. But something that has not been brought up yet is: That in Soma - Transmissions #2 inside Imogen Reed's locker you can see Picture(s) of Catherine Chun... I don't know how many would have Pictures of ''just a friend'' in their locker. Sure, the romance could be one-sided but it's definite that Reed is interested in Catherine...

Just coming in 6 years later to let you know you're a tool, and that's no lie.

I got the impression she liked Imogen, but also felt guilt about killing her (or maybe her WAU copy?) I couldn't quite follow which one she offed, but there's a note in Cath's room about the Vivarium and her having to "take care" of Imogen because she was "too real". I'm assuming the copy, but if they are the same, killing either could be kinda rough either way.

[SuspectedCrab]

Like someone already mentioned, outside of Theta there is a recording where Catherine sounds surprised and happy that Reed likes her. This is a hint that she may like-like her.

Then when you're in the NMRI, she cuts off her comment about Reed. You can't say for sure what Reed was to her. She could have said she was my ... lover, girlfriend, crush, friend, etc. It's up for the player's interpretation, and it's my interpretation that she loved her beyond just friendship.
