on 0.7 when you go to laykin you are 2 meters away from Alexis and lexxi as an inner monologue where she sizes you up and decides that you are very attractive! her willingness to fuck the MC is established there not on a 13 year old kid!
in 0.6 it was hinted but she had checked you out from 20-30 meters away and was also hinted at a phone talk between laykin and lexxi but most people ignored it! me included! so on 0.7 Nyx made it as clear as dirt from the get go for idiots like me that had missed it!
Erynn obsession with the MC comes from her childhood memories and are connected to when everything was simple and not complicated! the MC gosthing her was the moment when her life became far far more complicated! So the idea of the MC represents happier times!
As for not being great friends besides the memories of the sad day you see a few pictures of them together! Several them where they are very happy like the one where the MC flies on Erynn legs like a plane! or the one in the swimming pool! we can assume it was like that for the MC and Erynn ever since the MC was 4 years old up to the age where Erynn boobs showed up! For Erynn i can assume it goes even further with her a 4 year old playing with a 1 year old!
The supposed sexual attraction can however come from her wish to have attractive kids and in her mind the MC is the perfect dude to give her that! So its not lust she lusts for... so the wifey act is she representing or symbolizing her wish for the future! many would call it a better kind of love unlike Lexxi that is pure passion and take me right here and now (until ep.7 ffs, she was always looking for a freaking excuse to break up either it was Layla on 2-3 occasions or you not helping the person that had hurt her just 2 days ago)!
we can even tie this for her dream of becoming a teacher as a way to teach and educate her future sons and daughters!
A MC that as not helped Erynn can actually use that excuse with Erynn telling her "thanks for screwing my life, i did not helped you because you had hurt Lexxi and now i lost her because i did not help you!"
not defending someone who does that since they knew exactly who each one of them where! On such a situation where you do not know the dude charging in like the MC did will get you killed some of the times! I know hundreds of situations and i have been personally involved in 3 of those!
I was not killed ofc but in 2 of those the girl presented charges against me for hitting her boyfriend when i was trying to help her!
In the 3rd one i actually got my ass kicked by a SAS British army dude that was laying it on his girlfriend! No charges pressed but damn can those assholes hit hard!
A dude that publicly hits a woman is a dangerous asshole that can be armed or have combat training, i always intervened but i saw quite a few stories... the worsts ones are that those women being aggro against actually defend the assholes in court afterwards! inclusive from manslaughter charges because he was "defending himself"!
Alexis finds the MC hot, i can dig it...
But i still think she took an awfully large risk by simply jumping the guy she believes her bff loves.
As constructed right now she's both the woman who against her better judgement jumps a guy she knows she shouldn't out of lust and quickly shifts into the hopeless romantic who can't live without this guy anymore.
I know the real explanation is she was suppoused to bang you once and never appear again, so she's being retconned as we go.
What happens when Erynn confronts her about how sudden is her love for the MC, it's an attempt to tie those 2 personas together.
Alexis remembers the backyard for herself, she doesn't actually answer Erynn, which should indicate she kept that torch on low burn for years.
As for Erynn, when she sees the shirtless mc in the clothes shop stall she thinks to herself how she can't stop her heart from beating faster(or something in this style), which isn't different at all from how Alexis or Layla would react, at various moments it's shown her lusting after him.
Obviously she doesn't think of him just as "hot guy i wanna fuck", with their long friendship and history(plus her own traumas with sex and relationships) fuck buddies is just something that was never on the table.
Calling the "wifey" thing an act is just bullshit when you see how happy she is when she's cooking or otherwise helping the MC, that's just who she is.
Wanting to be a teacher also ties directly into this.
Well... the MC knows Ethan is a chicken shit variety bully.
In legal terms the MC should be safe, if:
You went directly for Erynn after initially knocking him down(i wonder if there's gonna be a difference between punching him once or several times, because the second option would definitely configure excessive force lol).
Erynn corroborates your testimony(he's sure to try and blackmail her into lying about what happened).
Still i don't think he goes to the police, he has too much to lose, it's like inviting Erynn to lay it all out.
Not sure if any guilt if she is aware he was bullied and making it up to him by giving him what he most wanted as far as she knows based on that same confession might also play a role.
