I can only see that mattering if you're on J&M's path.
In all my playthroughs, I've only picked that path 3 times at most.
So in any other situation that would be irrelevant.
Most my playthroughs are about distancing myself as much as possible from J&M. So I'M really not sure if Maya would even want the MC to accompany her to that meeting considering I do almost everything possible to just be as cold as I can with them.
On a different note,
I really wonder why we don't get to hook up with the girl in the following screenshot. I mean everytime she's around she's always checking out the MC. And she keeps popping up in the background of so many scenes.
I was kind of surprised she wasn't in Ep9. Or was she?
