Not capable of genuine emotions?So Maya for all her life never experienced a genuinely caring male person. Her father was always a issue, a trouble with her. Oppressive, religious figure. Her brother is fun and all but he is kind of a dork, not a figure with a aura of brilliance or capable of genuine emotions that most girls have and can express easily. Plus he is family so she cannot see him as an opposite gender without any bias.
We know she never had boyfriends or other close male acquaintances. Maya got comfortable with Josy since she is a girl and they share similar personalities.
Insert MC here, Maya experiences the tender care, attention, kindness that she never experienced from a male. She thought either all man are incapable or just they don't show any tender qualities. So MC surprises her a lot and that is the main reason she fell for the MC. Because MC acts like how other girls acted around Maya.
So when she says that MC is like a girl, that is the highest praise Maya can give for MC. I loved that part as an ex-Mayan. It was a genuinely sad part since it made me start regretting leaving her at the last episode.
As I wrote back when the episode 5 first released, I wish we could have both Maya's and Josy's scenes after her dad, we shouldn't be forced to choose between if we are broken up with them before. Because both scenes offer invaluable character development since both of them confess MC about how threeway relationship was the only way to progress without losing MC.
I hope in the next episode, the girl whom didn't had that vital scene with MC gets her chance to confess her genuine feelings.
I don't think that's the case with Derek. He is definitely capable of genuine emotions. He has a great concern for the MC dating his sister, and his sister in general, and I think he's masking everything else with fun because they've had such a sad life. It takes a deep person to understand that. Which, either way, because of the shenanigans he ends up feeling remorseful about things later on outside the DIKs house before the MC goes to Bella and talks to Cathy. You can see he is emotionally there, he just rather have a brotherly bond while in college, something he's probably never had before. Plus he had someone in his past he liked. He's just a goofball is all.
And honestly, Maya knew the things she had to do with the HOT's, I don't think there is any real bias happening about the opposite gender. She knows guys can be genuine; she repeatedly wants to spend time with the MC. She's also had a brother in her life, who again has been an emotional support for her.
