I think we have 6 different storylines regarding Josy & Maya:
A scenario: MC is a friend, he told Derek he still has feeling for Josy and talks to her about it --> consequences: Josy is starting to think that she should have chosen MC over Maya.
B scenario: MC is a friend, he told Derek he still has feeling for Maya and talks to her about it --> consequences: Maya is starting to think that she should have chosen MC over Josy.
C scenario: throuple relationship and MC is favouring Josy over Maya --> consequences: Josy is starting to think that she feels more comfortable when she is alone with MC.
D scenario: throuple relationship and MC is favouring Maya over Josy --> consequences: Maya is starting to think that she feels more comfortable when she is alone with MC.
E scenario: MC started the throuple relationship but he broke up with them and chose Jill/Bella/Sage/Others. I'd call it: "the ultimate retarded asshole scenario". I'm not playing it, of course.
F scenario: we are perfectly balancing the throuple relationship ---> consequences: dunno, I'm not playing it. I'd call it: "seriously, you gotta walk on a thin line like an acrobat, bro".
E: you can't pick "others" being on Throuple and/or Jill paths, MC tied to both so much, that he can't consider that he isn't into a relationships at that moment.
F: nothing complicated, so far, just pick "a-b-a-b" or "b-a-b-a", that's all. The question is - will it help or DPC is just fucking with us and leading us as far as possible to make a tough choice later, muuuuch later.
C & D: Favouring one of them over the other one while being in Throuple is a much more asshole scenario than breaking up with them. Just absolutely and pure asshole move. "We are all in this, bla, bla, bla... and then, ups sorry, but I like J or M more, let's stay friends, ok?"
Pure solo from the "others" branch is the only honest and right way to get one of them solo if you so want to. You hadn't lead them, they both know that their own relationship is going south. So the only thing is to deal with consequences. Picking solo Maya will ultimately devastate Josy, worse than breaking up with Throuple, while Maya may take it better, not much, but still better.
Imo, the most asshole move, like a champ one: Play as a manwhore, fuck all that moves, pick feelings for Josy, confess her you still have feelings for her and... boom, after she talked to Maya: "I haven't promised you anything, sweet girl". Same for Maya. That's fucking nuts.
Seriously, DPC written them so and put in such circumstances, that picking one of them will always feel about the same as saving Megan or Melissa in AL. Still a fucking tragedy, but w/o deaths.
Scenario E - while definitely not my favorite - is interesting. You'll get, well I can spoil it for you if you want:
DPC said several times that no harem ending will be implemented and possible. It's a potential for cheating and temptations, but nothing more. How it may and will develop and end is a question. But all those "tc" points and other stuff are not for nothing. It's an interesting arc, but I don't expect any happy end from it. Cheating never ends well. Check Acting Lessons and how MC ends up in such case.
