But she would pick up a complete stranger in a bar and take him to her house to fuck, even after she had already been given plenty of reasons to suspect that he was lying to her about his identity. So... the whole protect herself angle doesn't really hold a lot of water. If this were about safety, she wouldn't have pursued him after her initial line of questioning. The background check is clearly not about protection. It's about entitlement and control.I get that in most situations a background check on someone you just started seeing might feel inappropriate. But you have a woman dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic experience the likes of which most of us will hopefully never encounter. Val feels the need to protect herself. And while she found MC attractive and enjoyed talking with him, she wasn't going to solidify a relationship (even if that relationship is simply "fuck buddies") if she couldn't determine why he was lying to her about his background.
Valeria is a manipulative and untrustworthy person. She doesn't tell the MC that she suspects who he is until after she's tricked him into confirming his identity. She doesn't tell him that she wants to have another child until after she's begged him to cum inside her while having unprotected sex on multiple occasions. She clearly doesn't value our privacy as much as we do considering that she told Nicole about us "in detail", and she told the gun range guy that we had an unpleasant history with guns.
The whole gun range fiasco is another questionable aspect of her path. The MC makes it known that he's not sure if this is a good idea, and she insists that it will be fine. Then he has a massive panic attack, and she gets to rush to his aid. Now, this could be a genuine attempt to help him overcome a past trauma and prepare him for the future. Or... if you are a bit more cynical... it's another way for her to position herself as the one in control. She's the motherly figure to her "baby". Is that a stretch? Sure, but not a big one. Not after the other shit she's been pulling the whole game.
Valeria is downright predatory in her behaviour towards the MC. Who the hell discovers that a twenty-one year old is in witness protection and decides "Hey, I'm gonna make a baby with this traumatized person in hiding who is barely old enough to be considered an adult and is still in school"? A fucking weirdo twice their age is who.
