I think it is a small mistake, however, to confront these VNs expecting to find Kant. Here I will explain better, I enjoy writing and I have published 2 issues of a comic, in those two issues the readers, friends and strangers, have found many hidden messages, which however I had not thought of at all, I wrote those two numbers thinking of telling a story, the philosophical and psychological parallels were completely random, based on my personal experiences that have influenced my writing, but without my realizing it. This is to say that I don't think Nyx wrote the story with a psychology textbook in hand, so I think things should be read as simply as possible.
Lexi and Erynn are childhood friends, Lexi is shy, perhaps not submissive, but she gives priority to her friend. Erynn instead, without malice, is more spontaneous in expressing her feelings, this creates a situation in which both have a crush on the same boy, but only Erynn external to her friend, the other decides to keep the secret not to enter into competition.
5 years pass and the boy returns to town, Lexi does not know who he is, but she is attracted to his outward appearance (Sexual Attraction), when she understands who it is she also remembers the sweetness of him (Character mental attraction, let's call it that for simple, and it was the same thing that attracted Erynn), at this point talking to him he realizes that the boy growing up has kept his sweetness and sensitivity. At this point Lexi is faced with a choice, to reveal everything and put an end to any love affair, or to keep the secret hoping to impress him. She chooses the latter of her because the combination of sexual attraction (of this MC) and the character attraction (Past and present of this guy) push her to take her chance of her. Wrong? Towards Erynn certainly, but it is a mistake that I understand and forgive, because I empathize with MC and I tell you that in her place, if she had told me who she was, I would not have taken a step in her direction, the thought of Erynn would have stuck, even if I found Lexi beautiful and sweet I would have given up. I believe that in the next updates Lexi will be able to explain herself better with Erynn too. But honestly I feel like excluding feelings such as envy or revenge in Lexi's choices, I think the girl for once in her life simply decided to give herself a chance, probably being impractical in acting that way she ended up doing it so. mistaken. But I can be blinded by the fact that I am Team Lexi, if you can put it that way, an Erynn Fan would probably think otherwise, but I find it one of the good things about these games, which is why every thread on this forum has thousands of post is just for such discussions.
Versant pedophilia etc., here too it is better to avoid getting lost in legal or literal definitions on the subject. I am not a lawyer, but thinking about the materials of some games on this forum, I struggle to perceive even a vague inkling of pedophilia behind Lexi. Also because I repeat, Lexi did not have sex with her 13-year-old friend (The correct age is he 13 she 15, because the MC goes away for 5 years shortly after the declaration, maybe a year later, so it would be 12 14 ), but still she has sex with an adult. It would be like accusing grandparents of pedophilia because most of them met their future wives in adolescence. But as said perhaps this is too complex a topic to deal with on this forum, with so many legal and psychological implications that it would take a special forum. Just as I mean pedophilia, I don't see it in this game.
Chapter Ethan, better known as the ASSHOLE KING. We saw a picture of Eryn going with him to the classic prom, we know that prom is important, you don't go there with friends, but with boyfriends. It is true that this is not always the case, so it could be a special case. But thinking by statistics Erynn and Ethan were a couple, but I struggle to see any personal resentment in his actions, but until we know more it's hard to understand. After all, the next update should put the cards on the table on the subject, because delaying further explanations would be deleterious. Honestly, looking back on everything I've seen in the game, I begin to rule out the porn hypothesis and convince myself on the escort side. After all, internet models often end up also providing escort services, if Eryn is a camgirl it is also more logical as a consequence than porn. But we have to wait and see the next update.
Ok, I apologize for the wall of text, not being English I find myself making useless turns of words, like now, Wall of text that explains a wall of text, great.
