I dont really get this backstabbing attitude at Alexis. I think this just appears to People who generally prefer Erynn in first step.
I must have missed the part where Erynn locked herself away in a convent waiting for the MC to return. Oh, wait...The game starts with the MC explaining his backstory with Erynn to Alexis. She recognizes who he is, knows her BFF, Erynn, has very strong feelings for him, and even suspects he may still have feelings for her as well. So the first thing Alexis does is pretend not to know the MC and invite him to fuck her in the airplane bathroom.
Personally, I'd describe her as self-centered rather than backstabbing.
She moved on, had intimate relationships (and would probably still be in one if she hadn't also kicked her highschool love to the kurb at the behest of Ethan), and so had the MC. IRL, after a certain age, all of us will have had exs, some of whom we may still hold a candle for. However, once both have moved onto other relationships, that's it. There is no more "dibs." Period. Heck, Erynn is not even an Ex, she decided that watching a funny video was more worthwhile than listening, so nothing even got off the ground in the first instance.
What's Alexis supposed to do? Ask the stewardess for an air to ground phone so she could try to reach Erynn before the plane lands? Stand aside and let Erynn have another go and wait until Erynn kicks him aside again in 1 year's time, 2 years? I think not.
This I fully agree with. That's how she should have handled it. However, I would contend that she too was also confused by conflicting emotions, particularly a false sense of guilt. The key word here being "false" for the reasons stated above. (On the one hand, she was even thinking that she would purposely not ever see MC again after the plane, it was the MC who went to the bar, not by her invitation). Alexis' secrecy is far from being the biggest transgression in the game. Even MC's mom and "dad" have held secrets for niegh on 20 years, never mind Erynn who, at this point, is a caricature of the first two chapters of most of the FemProtag corruption games on here.If Alexis leveled with Erynn from the start, saying she was going to pursue the MC because Eyrnn had already had her chance, I'd have been okay with that regardless of how Erynn took it
PS. I am not even team Alexis BTW, I'm team Nikki.
