I'll give you that one she could be bearding him and that could be more of a reason to why she says yes.Bringing this back to whether Maya likes the MC more than Josy does…
This interaction doesn’t prove that. It just proves Maya is more likely to take the risk. Also there’s more factors at play then straight “affection” for the MC. Maya for example tells Derek how it would be easier to be with a boy when he catches them kissing.
It does however show that she cares more about him or herself to hurt him out of fear.That isn’t “liking” the MC. That’s his gender making her dating him a boon. To say Maya likes MC more than Josy does because Josy (depending on the route) doesn’t wanna risk what she has with Maya but Maya does doesn’t inherently prove Maya likes the MC more than Josy likes him.
Maybe Maya's already battle hardened due to living with her father for so long so she's used to the conflict where Josy seems to come from a accepting and loving home. And is a bit tired of fighting over Maya and her father and doesn't want to add a third conflict to her already full plate.Could be Josy values her relationship with Maya higher than Maya does hers with Josy. Could be Maya wants a male partner to make her life easier…. Maybe Josy is just a coward.
I personally think It’s six of one, half a dozen of the other, on who likes him more back in Ep4.
I can't deny they're are more values in play but I'm just saying you'd rather be with someone who will fight for you not give up on you.
