Maya would have just asked for help from the staff, obvious choice being Cathy, no idea how long DPC wants to drag out that crap.
I think it's because she didn't want people to know she was gay (bi???) out of fear of social rejection, etc. She's a new student and doesn't know who to trust. Only Derek and her dad knew at the time. To her, it probably looked like the odds of it blowing up in her face were 50/50. Her being sort of a wall-flower and closed off probably plays into that. It's still a bit of a stretch because she could've just talked about the loan and her dad without talking about Josy but whatever. It's DPC. Teen melodrama is his forte! He's great with writing individual scenes but not so much when it comes to overarching plot points.
As for M/J breakup...same, could happen next ep or next season.
Woah, woah. Slow your horses there, buddy. DPC needs to dangle that "Solo Josy" carrot in front of our faces for at least two more years. Otherwise, we're hurting his business. How? I don't know. We just are.
Not saying there's no chance but it'd be really unexpected for it to happen that quick. Like with everything else, it's more likely going to be a slooooow-ass drip.
It's clear from the get to go that their relationship is bad, we have watched since ep 5 how Josy still has feelings for the MC, and how they have fights, or Maya venting on Josy, with little intention of breaking up.
What annoys me is that Josy is a main LI, yet we are half way in the game and she has almost no content if you are not in that damned throuple, and since ep 9 i can't ignore Maya anymore so that's not an option.
Well it's normal for couples to have spats, I guess. You could also argue that most of the bad blood stemmed from Patrick and without his interference, it might have been a different picture entirely.
Although as each chapter went on, it just felt more apparent that their personalities aren't compatible. Plus, the whole throuple started with them basically cheating on each other with the MC so there's that too.
In real life, it could be anyone's ball game and might not mean anything other than dealing with a shitty situation. Narratively, it means they're going to break up. The flags have been raised, let's hurry up and set sail!
It's probably because Josy has no concrete flaws. It would probably result in either A. People heavily in favor of one LI over the rest and wondering why any major time is being spent on the others (half-joking) or B. It would make her too uninteresting for others. To some, her major flaw is that she has nothing that makes her "interesting".
But it really does suck how we're already in Season 3 and we still have to deal with the throuple if we want to see anything. Still, if we did have a solo Josy path earlier on I can imagine it'd just be them fucking like rabbits. It wouldn't be that bad ... just sayin. Not EVERYTHING needs to be a soap opera in BADIK. Plus they'd probably still be trying to help Maya and there's Tommy which would be kind of funny to watch how that goes.
I predict Tommy finding out is going to be an initial outburst and some funny dialogue but will be quickly overshadowed by Maya going, "Guys, can we focus back on me and how I feel again?!"
At this point most side girls like Riona, Lily and Nicole have long since overtaken Josy imo and i'm really tired of waiting for her solo route, just because she can't get her ass up and make a fucking choice.
Dude. Same. Side characters are where it's at. Really feels like side characters left more of an impression on me than the main LIs in Ep 9. I even did my first play through for Ep 9 with the Others path.
- Was never interested in Bella, still haven't even attempted her Ep 9 play through.
- Jill's kind of boring with the yuppie dinner parties and all that.
- Maya is not as bad as I say she is but only in small doses, which is the exact opposite of what we get.
- Sage is slowly turning into an angry version of Maya with nothing but occasional hi-jinks to make up for it.
It's disappointing but I've made my peace with how long the solo route's taking. The potential for Josy is just kind of lost now so nothing I can do about it but focus on other characters. I just hate all the foreshadowing and teasing. Like, either shit or get off the pot goddamn.
(Imagine DPC just having the Solo path at the end of the game as one of the endings. Dude makes a fortune just to say "fuck you lol" at the end. I'd actually be pretty pissed about that.)
