I think she's just taking it as an opportunity to get topless at Alex, and therefore to throw the big brass lever on his adolescent sexuality, ASAP.

The internal monologue of either is up in the air right now, imo.

Does Eloise have a plan in mind? Sure, we saw a script.
Is Eloise playing by the script or improvising? Well, she got flustered and made out with Alex while in VR, so it's not a stretch that she's acting on emotion, though it is convenient.

Alex is a butt monkey. I wouldn't buy it that someone is a highly attractive exact duplicate cousin. I'd jump to the twin conclusion too, but wonder why she's not screaming.

This (the highlighted portion), though I'd still be skeptical about the twin part untiI actually saw them "together".

My point is: if someone walked in dressed like Eloise and saw a complete stranger on their couch, I doubt they'd plop down and start taking it off for them. You'd expect them to be shocked and embarrassed that a complete stranger just saw them half-naked. Yet Alex doesn't find that odd, 'cuz he's gone brain dead from a kiss and a bit of skin.

That's why I said Ace handled himself better.

The whole female shocked/embarrassed by semi-nudity thing is a stereotype, and grossly exaggerated. I've met plenty of women for the first time who have "presence of mind" - they know what they're wearing and not embarrassed by it at all. Nudity taboo is getting rarer these days, and has always been far less common in Europe (where this is set). That being said, Eloise is much more forward than most women.

It's a common and natural reaction.

Most women aren't gonna be all: 'Hey there, stranger. Wanna see more?' and start taking it off for someone they've never seen before.

I just wanna say, when I draw someone flustered, they would usually have blush lines on their face.

I see Gary is the Sith Lord, and Alex is his apprentice...
