Yeah but I think that Erynn isn’t being rational, she’s freaked out at the idea of Ethan ruining her future and can’t think it through. Take the part where the MC asked about if she’d seen the tape and her not even really knowing that it did exist.Okay...so Erynn's story doesn't make much sense to me. MC asks her if she called the cops on Ethan. I mean which makes sense because it is illegal. And if Ethan is convicted then he will become a sex offender. She says no and gives a line of excuses - from "He can deny it or delete it." Now denying won't make much sense if she presses charges. Everybody who is a suspect in an ongoing investigation will deny any involvement. There's still going to be an investigation. And if he deletes the video? Well, then it's a win/win for Erynn. Investigators will go through mobile phones, hard drives, USBs, etc. So if Ethan forgets to delete the video on any sort of hardware then he will be caught and prosecuted. But if he manages to delete it from everything, then Erynn is free from his blackmail. Now unless Ethan is a super-genius mega hacker who knows how to encrypt software and be able to get rid of a trail (which I highly doubt he is) then he is fucked either way.. Maybe I am overthinking the situation but to me...Erynn is a twit.
Some people under stress are able to kickass like Audie Murphy and thrive on it. Other people freeze and can’t get out of their own head, anxiety creating a faulty self destructive feedback loop. I think Erynn is more the latter.
I want to see the MC do some sneaking and sleuthing around for that tape. See if he can save his friend.
