You want a debate, here's a debate: I take the, Alexis is a pedophile part.
She starts to get interested (Interested is maybe a bit much, she thought he was cute) in him when she sees him when she visited her cousin Lakeyn.
I know I have an advantage, because I know the whole story, but I only used information which is in the story.
that part is interesting i totally ignored that she had already measured him up! if you add perhaps a phone talk or a conversation where cousin L says decent sized and proper attentious lover that would explain the airplane part, her decision was done before she knew he was Erynn little brother!
as for the pedophile part is clearly shitposting on people saying Erynn as romantic claims to the MC when the last time she saw him was when he was 13, she does not! besides that is always a decision for the MC to make if both girls are interested because claims only go so far and the final decision belong to the individual!
as i stated i played 7 times to read every part of Erynn dialogues and her inner monologue triggered me profoundly so no i am not unbiased but she had a decent support base to turn to, only weak point on that support base is the lack of a masculine point of view but how shameful and regretful she seems to be i assume she did not even ask for help!
also her entire entitled attitude to the MC even with Layla rubs me the wrong way in a cock blocking kind of way! yes she needs to talk to him but dude there´s a age equal to him and they seem to be hitting it off, do not cock block a brother gezzzz!
As for the Erynn Lexxi debate her only sin was not informing and going to the concert (this is optional) but the MC did not look for Erynn specifically how can she be blamed and take all that shit? yes she knows how Erynn misses her little brother (cause assuming anything else as people do is just creepy and perv thinking) and she should have informed her but its on the MC to make himself known!
even worse Lexxi takes all the shit but Melissa did not informed her also, so we can not even blame the MC on this, and its certainly hypocritical to blame just Lexxi and not Mel!
As for people talking about Melissa and the MC that is her emotional aunt and he is Melissa litle nephew, yes now that he is a man sexual attraction can appear as its normal to appear but right off the bat? its a much better explanation that the MC showing up is what ignited Mel sexual desire that lead to the pool kiss(with EM), but that is all sub conscious and we must assume Mel as been living in a very male dried world for a young 18 year old to make her sex drive spike (possibly combined lack of it for a few years and hormonal unbalance as she gets near her menopause and there is a last ditch effort from her biological clock to have a last go at it)!
As for Erynn specifically i stated that i do not know all the contours of her problem but the lack of a male point of view on her decision making can have lead her to a bad decision that is now being reinforced by some shamefull blackmail material that can go from photos and nudes to magazines, some weird videos (such as Diana) or personal shit like a proms sex tape where she was drunk or laced with some drugs by Ethan ... problem is i do not know and she does not tell...
my sister had such a problem and took her 7 years to tell me what her boyfriend had on her for her to always be broke by lending him money that she took off my grandmother and only when gold started going missing and people suspected me because of my drug habit back then did i intervened! I made real money back then so no i had no drug problem it was barely 10% of my budget! you only have a drug problem when you can not afford it and when my income got reduced i quitted as responsible adults do!
lets just say that had she told me sooner she could have saved herself a few thousands because once i discovered the dude spent 3 months in the hospital and his father and mother had to apologize (i had shit on his sister...)!
so when Erynn in her dialogue says stuff like "you should have been here" i take that as blaming instead of assuming she fucked up and should have asked for help sooner, its not easy but just because its not do not go looking for scapegoats!
but you know better then me! i am just speculating, so do not take me serious because i do not take myself serious nor should most people unless you want a different point of view or go into the land of chaos and possibility!
what i mean is you got your story do not change it for others, if its good enough so far it should be good enough until the end and once your project is done you should analyse what worked and did not work and improve from there, i used to run projects and manage teams of up to 20 supervisors who had their own small teams and every time there was a small change fires would break out everywhere so make the best plan possible and stick to it, changes will only fuck up everything in the end and the little gains you get you will pay double in other parts or down the line!
