Lexi seems nice so far. Very early days, but I think she'll end up in that column as well. (Personally, I think leaving Fiona at the friend table is nuts, but that's also personal preference and subjective)
Honestly speaking, since I haven't had the time to play the 5.0 update yet, I forgot that Lexi even existed. She didn't really have much screentime in any of the previous updates.
And that's fair, Fiona as a character is probably the best in the game, it just doesn't feel right to turn the one friend that Ashe still has into a potential LI for me.
You could completely delete that scene from the game and it would still be obvious. As I said, I don't know what to tell you if you don't see it.
Yeah, nah, it wouldn't be obvious at all. What you've been saying is that her behaviour is obvious because it's obvious that she wouldn't be able to control herself, which has literally no ground to stand on as there are at best some barebone hints that she's interested in Ashe in a more romantic way - but as said, this has nothing to do with what you've been trying to argue. There's nothing to point to Rachel having zero self-control, in fact given their shared upbringing and what we've gotten to see in regards to her being an emotional anchor for Ashe, she
should have a lot of self-control.

I didn't say that she had to destroy Ashe. I said she thought she had to destroy her relationship with Ashe. I also said I thought she handled it wrong but it's pretty hard to seriously fault an 18 year old who barely knows the world for fucking something up in the heat of the moment beyond it being a learning experience.
She knew how badly this would fuck Ashe up, and now if we're going by your theory, she's willingly going to fuck Ashe up yet again because she's putting herself in the same goddamn situation that she allegedly had to destroy Ashe for to begin with. You do see how this is some absolutely fucked behaviour, correct?

And then when Evelyn inevitably confronts her about why she's cut off her sister what's she supposed to do.
Literally just say "we have some differences that we can't reconcile". That's it. The absolute barebones of communication would have been required, because Evelyn can't do shit about a relationship between two legal adults.

That's kinda rich from the dude writing short stories to every response I make.
Did you just not comprehend what I typed? Yes, I do care about the discussion because you
have to care about a discussion to partake in it, you absolute rube.
You were the one trying to go "oh but I clearly don't care" while replying, which as I pointed out, isn't the way it works whether you want it to or not.

A person cutting their twin sibling off because they tried to fuck them (remember, Rachel barely fucking remembers this, she thought they actually banged at first from the condom on the floor) and then pressured them into entering a romantic and sexual relationship also isn't something that should typically annoy a person unless a trauma is involved. It's a pretty normal response to cut someone off after something like that, especially if the person in Rachel's position feels the same. Sure it's an incest novel so we can suspend some disbelief when it comes to them being attracted and acting on that attraction but it's hardly an unrealistic and even somewhat reasonable response to the position Rachel was in.
The fuck? Ashe is the least pressuring force in that scene considering that she was a stuttering, anxious mess.
What you don't seem to understand is that within the power dynamics of that scene, Rachel had all the power due to how mentally fucked Ashe is thanks to anxiety and being in a situation where she isn't sure of anything.
And again, instead of Rachel taking an extra second to compose herself, which I remind you, would have been her MO for the vast majority of their childhoods due to her role in being an emotional anchor, she flipped her shit and made the worst fucking decision she could have made. She then proceeded to go completely dead silent for a year as, according to you, it was the only thing she could think of doing to avoid "jumping on Ashe" but she then decides to come back and be real close to Ashe while simultaneously disrespecting her by avoiding any and all conflict resolution and also just throwing her actions into the trash, effectively having destroyed Ashe for
literally no reason as she again puts herself into that situation.
If she had any respect for Ashe, she would have stayed away if we're going by your theory, so this just makes her far worse than I had initially assumed.
At this point, let's agree to disagree as you clearly have no indication to even attempt to view things from any perspective other than pure defensiveness on Rachels part, even though I humoured your theory plenty. This is going absolutely nowhere and will be my last reply to you.
