he did not over react! they removed his ability to make an informed decision! thus they treated him as an object and not a means onto himself with the ability to choose!
had he been presented with the full situation and information then he would not have had the right to bitch, but he did not!
why did the girls lie? because most likely he would have droped them?
fuck he did not drop Josy ... he was being honest!
the girls lieing shows their weakness and inability to trust him, unlike he as trusted them!
them lieing also shows they play a duplicitous game they refuse to drop their current relationship,
but also want to keep their options open and resort t lies to have their cake and eat it too!
it means they like the MC and lie because they are afraid of his reaction!
stupidly all unfounded except for their own projection onto the MC of what they would do if in his position,
instead of acknowledging that the MC is an entity capable of his own decisions (you know a human being)!
they removed the MC`S humanity when they lied to him and tried to turn him into an object for their own gain!
So no the MC did not over react!
You are making it too easy for yourself. Put yourself in Maya's shoes.
As we learn later, Maya is an introvert. So it's in her nature or personality that she can't express herself like a normal person. That it is difficult for her to trust. Then the whole new experience with the MC. Her experience with her father.
Maya assumes she is a lesbian and does not know that she is not. She tells the MC herself that she has dated several men but has never been intimate with one. She also says that she is no longer a virgin and has only had one relationship, and that was with a girl. The MC even asks Maya what it was about the two of them. Maya replies that he is the only boy she has developed such feelings for (EP1 Maya's Initiation). Afterwards, there is a very intimate and romantic moment between the two on the campus lawn. Derek, that klutz, ends it rather tactlessly. The result is that Maya has discovered a side to herself that she didn't know she had. Why did I write this? It shows the evolution from Maya EP1 to Maya EP3. She opened up more and more to the MC. But at the end of EP3 and the appearance of Josy, Maya falls into a hole. Not only does she lose the only boy she developed real feelings for, but she also loses the solution to her problem with Patrick.
If Maya had acted differently than she did, the character would be absolutely unbelievable and surreal.
You sir are missing the entire point of every one of my post my original post was why MC acted the way he acted to chapter 3 reveal. This is why he acted the way he acted not a Maya sucks everyone should hate her post that so many people love on this site. Even Maya admits during the we should make up / we should break up scene. She admits why she did it and she also proves to the audience that SHE cares for MC more than Jose does.
She's clearly the better of the two but the main reason he got so angry are three points i'll lay out now.
1. He betrayed Maya on a deep level without even knowing it. Josy being her girlfriend because he's a cheating dick. He had misgivings with being with Josy in the first place but he never realized he'd -know- the boyfriend/girlfriend let alone on such a personal level.
2. Maya lied to him. A HUGE issue after end of first chapter where she promised him to be more honest with him after forcing him to be 100% honest with her. Even after she already went through this once before at end of chapter 1
3. Maya and Josy were lieing to each other which is one of the main reasons I think that MC took it further by ignoring them a good portion of Chapter 4 when he saw them sitting together like nothing was wrong.
Yes, Maya admits she was wrong hunky dory and thats good for her. My post all of them were delving into the mind of MC not Maya not Josy even when i mentioned Josy lieing to Mia and getting back together with her that was also from the MC's point of view.
Did Maya eventually come to understand all this yes. Did she apologize to MC for it yes. "I built a wall to keep everyone out... Not realizing you were worth letting in." Did she prove to be emotionally supior to Josy, yes. She thought you were worth the risk though Josy was to scared no matter how much it hurt you. -This being if you are Dik affinity during the we should be together scene- If you go with Maya she admits you were only turned away because Josy didn't want it and what could she do she loved Josy too. If you go with Josy "She tells you the same thing about it being her fault and her being scared to end up alone."
Not to mention Josy will very nicely admit you were probably a mistake if you're anything but chick affanity.(Almost positive you get this if Neutral or Dik) "What we did would i do it again?" "I don't know."
Or "What we did would I do it again?" "I would."( if chik) Not exact words mind you but this is what i remember.
