the "free pass" was a mandatory step in the plot, and I think it's quite real. (unrealistic, but real in the game)
at that moment the only effective relationship would be theirs, so they were the only ones who could ask for "fidelity" to MC.
but nobody wants MC to be loyal after a quarter of the story, the players don't want it, but PDC doesn't want it either, because it would mean that 60% of what he works on would not be seen by a large chunk of players / games .
the time will come when Maya and Josy will ask MC to be quiet, but it was too soon.
and then do you really want to charge Maya with another lie?
