So, just to set you all straight on this "How does Quinn know?" conundrum:
She doesn't.
Quinn has thought that the mc is gunning for Maya all along no matter what you do. Even if Quinn chooses to go with the mc to his room where he tends to her cuts and they fuck, shortly afterwards, if he sits with her (and the HOTs) for lunch, when he asks about the HOTs scavenger hunt, she replies (regardless of any relationships):
Quinn: "If Maya wasn't your soon-to-be girlfriend, we might have told you."
But whether Quinn knows the mc is in a relationship with Maya or not is simply not the point; people are getting hung up on the literal variables being used rather than the implication of those variables.
Quite simply, the kind of guy that would end up with Maya is not the kind of guy Quinn would be into, she doesn't make that assessment because the mc is with Maya, she makes that assessment because of who the mc is. That's all there is to it.
The two girl's are polar opposites, and the mc has to be in touch with his feminine side in order to score with Maya, and such a guy would make Quinn want to puke. Sure, Quinn might fuck a stoned Chick mc, but she was already high. But when she was hurt and in distress, the last person she'd want to confide in is a guy she perceives as weak. She's subconsciously looking for someone like her dad (aren't all girls?).
So lets look at those variables again, but expand on their connotations (if any of the following conditions are true, Quinn walks):
- not quinnLikesYou: This really reflects whether DPC likes you or not since this is only gonna fuck you up if you're not playing on a PC.
- not ep4_quinn_lewd: Fucking Quinn on the roof, when she was high and had her guard down a bit, was an "in" with her. You wouldn't have gotten in if you didn't make your move when she was in this state.
- affinity != "DIK": Clearly Quinn is only into guys who exhibit the traits that this very broad brush encompasses.
- pathMayaJosy: And here we are. Sure, we could take it literally, that Quinn isn't interested because she thinks you're in a relationship with M&J, but I debunked that above. No, it's because the kinda guy that could be on that path, is the kinda guy that Maya would have said this to:
Maya: "Even though you're a guy... When we talk... It feels like you're a girl."
This is definitely not the kinda guy Quinn is interested in.
Now sure, you can play a style gets you on the M&J path and then have DIK affinity by the time episode 6 comes by. But so what? Quinn isn't constantly getting updates on the mc's personality, by the time the mc cements things with M&J, Quinn may have already decided what she thought of him, i.e:
