As
Mormont already pointed out, that's not gonna happen.
If you choose to stay friends with M&J it'll remain that way for the rest of the game. Entering their relationship is the only way you'll get more than friendship with them moving forward in the story.
Choosing to only be friends is the option for the many players who don't want anything to do with those two anymore.
You can't friend zone both of them and except to become more than just that in the future, other wise would be the point of having that choice in the first place?
I don't see how some people are so certain of this. Sure, DPC included things like this in AL but that was 8 episodes and this game could be 20, so we're potentially only at 1/5th of the story right now. Cutting off Leah early on in AL was different because she was never a main girl of that story and there were plenty of chances to get with Rena right up until episode 6, so completely shutting the door on 2 of the 5 main girls this early is hard for me believe, unless there's something in the code that indicates they're done or DPC has said this is the case.
I get that some people want to cut them off, and that's fine if that's their choice and they want to pursue other girls. I'm not saying anyone should be forced back into a relationship with them if they said "no" here, but I don't see why there can't be upcoming events in this game that could bring them back to him as there's still so much left of both the overall story and their story to explore. People can still reject and avoid them, of course, but I don't think Maya and Josy are going to not still be part of the story and they could easily be the Rena of this game, where you get multiple different chances to be with them. I've even seen some people say that although they cut them off now, they'd be willing to try again later if they redeem themselves, so some people would consider giving them another chance.
I think it all depends on the playthrough you have as well, which is probably the reason why people have such vastly differing opinions. As someone who played the game doing everything I could with Maya and Josy, I felt that the MC going down the friend path was because he simply he chose not to get in the way of their relationship and accept their feelings for each other, even though he still has feelings for them. This is why I feel, from my perspective based on my experience, there could be ways for things to start up again because the feelings they all have aren't completely gone and certain events could feasibly bring those back to the surface.
I'll be curious to see what happens in Ep 5 for those that went down the friend path with regards to what, if any, interactions can be had with them and if you can still get relationship points for them because that will be a big indicator of whether or not it's truly over with them.
