The suppoused similarities(i don't think they look this much like each other in game, but i can suspend my disbelief, since that's the message the game wants to push), both in looks and behaviour are "hinting"(more like hammering) that they are sisters.
yeah, I don't care if they're sisters or not, I just said it's not (just) john's genes since the canon is supposed to be that mel and erynn look alike

Never mind the different mothers, everyone is overthinking/overanalysing this... we desperately need our next fix.
I can't say I need my fix. with devs taking longer and longer to release an episode, I managed to get over the avns althogether in the past year. I'm only waiting on a few to finish so I can say I've seen it though the end. sadly, this is one of them.

We'll know when the MC feels ready to meet his biological father. He made a similar comment when talking to Emily.

There are three problems with the assumption as to whether Erynn and Iris are half-siblings:
1. Melissa would have to be present when John picked up Emily
AND!!!
2. After all this time, John AND/OR Melissa should recognize each other. Melissa mentioned in a conversation with the MC that it was a one night stand!!!
AND!!!
3. then who is Iris' mother???
John shouldn't be able to recognize Melissa. He was (is) into sweet blondes, and she changed a lot in 20 years. Will Melissa recognize John? Well, he's still pretty much the same person, so there's a chance she does. She might notice a resemblance between him and Erynn, or say something to Emily along the lines of, "nice catch, Em, if I were younger and dumber I would've jumped his bones in a moment, you know blonde vikings make me flow like Niagara... waaaait a minute"

Well, how should I put it? They're both a half John. That's how insemnation works. John's semen gives the X or Y and the mother the X. Iris and Erynn are both XX.
meaning they have the same X cause a male only has 1 x to gift... girls can vary wich of the x they gift cause they got 2 of them... lets hope they are sort of similar we don´t want daughters with missmatched Boo... i mean X´s chromossomes!

Oh, believe me, a woman never forgets
herm... in accordance with my experience 80% of them wished they did...
at least when they talk about me to each other...
surprisingly doesn´t detract them from making the same mistake...
at least once, i guess...

like I said, COINCIDENCE

John's genes prevailed twice and fathered almost identical children, even though they were from different mothers!
the X the father gifts its always the same. they can not be that diferent, actually a 75% diference is like only 5% likely!
its more normal for an epigenetic variation to provide a greater diferent then the base of the dna to be that diferent!
Furthermore, kids tend to resemble the father cause you can have no doubt about the mother, but the father...
so there is a genetic tendency for kids to resemble the father in 80% of the situations,
cause the couples who had doubts made far far less kids... unlike couples who trusted each other!
so after 20k generations 80% of kids when inspected by their fathers parents have a go ahead about resembling the father!

PS: I have a brother who is only related through my dad and everybody immediately knows we are brothers.
point taken!

That's a myth.
In general, being drunk lowers inhibitions. Does that mean that people can't lie or are forced to tell the truth when they're drunk? No. So it's true that somebody who kinda wants to kiss someone but won't because of shyness is more likely to kiss that person when they're drunk.

I found it depends on the person. Some drunks can't help themselves but blab.
Blabbering doesn't mean they're telling the truth. It's the truth of their drunken mind. Alcohol is a neurotoxin which effects the neuronal network. As a user you don't have control how it works with your neurons. It made you think and do things you don't want. You want A but the toxin made your neurons sending doing B. So you do B instead of A. Was it your free will? Was it your deepest wish or your best kept secret? Well, science said no. It's just your neurons doesn't work correctly.

Alcohol has a disinhibiting effect. No question about it. But it also makes you do things you don't want to do. That's why there are these antisocial subjects who deliberately get women drunk to get them to do things that they would never do with this scum in their right mind. Dark Silence thinks Elena kissed MC on the train because she secretly wants to. That could and may be true. Maybe there is already enough sympathy for MC at that point. But it's unlikely.

Alcohol reduces the ability to resist peer pressure, for example. It is quite possible that Elena felt she had to be flirty because it was expected of her. This expectation wasn't even present in the others, but Elena's drunken mind gave her the feeling. Her alohol corrupted neurons were playing a game with her. Sure, these are just theories about Elena's behavior. I doubt Nyx thought about this scene as deeply as we are doing here now.

Nonetheless, I still wanted to make it clear that the statement "the truth comes out when you're drunk" is just plain wrong. Yes, most people believe it, but that's always the case with myths. Myths are considered true because the masses confirm each other in them. Even disproved myths, e.g. that spinach is particularly healthy or that Einstein was a bad student, are still believed by most people.
