Look, it would make sense for some elderly wife of the President, who is forced to pretend in public that everything is fine. But not for a young girl, when her boyfriend constantly refuses her intimacy, justifying himself by taking some medications. What does a young girl do in such cases ? Sends a jerk to fuck. Yes, that's what's really happening.
He was clearly unhappy in this relationship. The best thing that could have happened was that he found me...hmm, that is, MC. And now everyone is happy!
Oh God, who are you looking at me for...Who found you? Chad? OK, I wish you happiness
Now I'm mad at you (a little)...
I could help you and say it in short - their feelings the strongest and most mutual among all other LIs. This is easily read in some scenes, in the emotions and eyes of MC and Josy. And we know that DPC is very good at this - in reflecting and transmitting various emotions of the characters. Only Maya and Jill can stand close to it and Jill becomes really attracted with MC only closer to Season 2 finale. Even when MC decided to stay friends with her and Maya he think about it and doubts from time to time.You know that I just can't let this slide do you ?
you misinterpreting the actual facts and I really Really dislike when people do this. especially the bold part. You conveniently missing out the Player aka your actions, and you make it seem like Josy is some needy girl who constantly guiltriping the player.
from episode 4, from the moment of the library if you decide to stay in the friendzone, or they reject the MC, every moment where Josy may get emotional, is fully depend on the player decision. MC puhsing her Buttons, except in episode, 9. Only in 1 Episode, in one moment, Josy comes to the MC by herself and ask if wheter he think about it or not of what could have been.
You can decide in Episode 5 that you wont help her when her dad arrive, therefor you can avoid the conversation with her. But even if count this as one moment, then we have to be honest becasue the same emotional covnersation happens wiht Maya to, so this is not an exlusive Josy thing.
In episode 6 you don't have any stand alone moment with her where this subject can be brought up again.
so we conclude that so far episode 5 was the only moment where Josy could get emotional, and that is the aftermath of episode 4 and the same thing happens with Maya to.
" This where the fun part beginning "
In the most Josy " heavy " episode, every single time when Josy get emotional, or confused about her feelings, is all exclusively by MC and the player actions. Right from the beginning it is MC who confront her, you can choose to go to sleep and not have the conversation at all, but if you confront her, it is MC who pushing her button, and make her emotional , it almost feels like as if it is him who can't let it go, and considering that the requirement what needed for the conversation to happen, aka " Feeling for Josy ", It is excatly the case. Not Josy, but MC. After that, it is MC who decided to Spend extra time with Josy, She not even invite him by herself, MC is the one who ask if he can visit her.
once again MC is the one who chasing Josy, even if it is a "friend level" - but we gonna talk about this stupid beliefs of Mc later on
During the Hot Party, once again MC is the one who Kiss her, instead of giving her the drink

so once again MC. make her confused and emotional. And with that we concluded the interactions in episode 7 , oh yes we go to the Gym, together but that is kind of a default storyline for the Chad secret to be revealed.
and we reached episode 8 , with a massive three interactions with Josy.
and the final interaction yet again MC playfully teasing Josy and ( becky ) .

And We Reached Episode 9.

The only Time When Josy by herself ask MC if whether he think about it what could have been if things would be different. But. Just to be Consistent

so after this long Analysis I would really much appreciate if you Stop Painting Josy as some emotional mess who constantly guiltriping and chasing the MC , chasing a buss that not picking her up..
if anything it is the MC ( and in some extent the players ) Who can't let bygone be bygone.
so Much that He is willing to invite his EX girlfriend to a Party where he is currently together with another girl, Because he is an idiot, who want everyone to be friend and one big family.

Not really. He's probably considering Zoey and Josy as girlfriends in case things he don't work out with his main girlfriend (the game explicitly says so). That's a cruel thing to do because he's not letting them go and not letting them move on. It's pretty funny that MC blames Sage for not moving on and not being able to get over Chad, he does the exact same thing( as Derek explicitly tells him). MC is actually a pretty hypocritical character and at some points I just hate him, but he acts pretty realistic( like a guy would act at 19).
In my headcanon, Sage was a virgin when she met the MC. Chad was her first love. She dated him for years while he was already in a relationship with Troy which would explain her sexual frustration and aggressivity toward the MC.
One could see it like that, I guess. But you could also make an argument, that he is over Zoey and thinks she is over him as well (she left him and ignored him after all) and just wants to be nice to her and let her have a good time at the party and to get to know new people.if anything it is the MC ( and in some extent the players ) Who can't let bygone be bygone.
so Much that He is willing to invite his EX girlfriend to a Party where he is currently together with another girl, Because he is an idiot, who want everyone to be friend and one big family.
I don't think so he moved on with zoey(probably moving on part will be a choice-like situation). Then Josy comes he spent much less time with Josy than Zoey but feelings are there.
Of course he does. The whole reuniting with Zoey in Ep9 when they are both talking about what happened, and why MC stopped responding to her "clucks" and PMs. The whole "Trip down memory lane" thing is all about how hurt he felt.
Well, or he actually wants to show his ex- "Hey, look at me now. Yes, I'm not the naive loser you left and went to San Diego anymore. Not the same as before. See how popular I am here, among all these hot chicks. But I'm not bragging, no. I'm just being friendly, and I want you to have fun. I care about you no matter what. I'm a good guy."if anything it is the MC ( and in some extent the players ) Who can't let bygone be bygone.
so Much that He is willing to invite his EX girlfriend to a Party where he is currently together with another girl, Because he is an idiot, who want everyone to be friend and one big family.
I do think this is a plausible angle. Because as I just pointed out earlier. When the MC finally finds out what he really felt about Zoey after she left for SD. So being a hormone filled emotional Teenager It would absolutely be believable for him to boast about his newest conquests to his ex as a "jab" back at her as a "see what you left behind?? you regret it now don't you??".
True mc is a good guy who don't leave his friends behind for achieving so called career(which they don't actually achieve)and then return back into life for absolute no reason,forcing to have the friendship when it's them who cut off the contact
This is the normal behavior of any man. Yes, I admit, I am also a boastful jerk, demonstrating any success at the first opportunity. And pretending at the same time that it's not on purpose. This is our nature. And there's nothing we can do about it.
"Zoey is a fantastic character that is extremely intelligent and has an above-average IQ. Because of my offence against everyone in this thread, I caused dishonour to my family. I was reformed when the re-education camp taught me the mistake of my ways. " - Lordofownworldeh!! look who's back!
