Yeah, Valeria is a different story. Not a confirmed LI, still a mysterious hot chick we know almost nothing about. She was obviously inserted for fun and drama. Nyx doesn't even hide it. Like "It's sort of competition. You wanted that, you got that. Now you feel jealous". People fell for her and are drooling over her. However last two episodes made many speculate and even hate her. Like "Does she have a bf? Is she playing a double game?". She can easily play the field, just like MC. Or Nyx can keep messing with us.
Idk I don't expect Val start DATING MC though. Actually, I don't know what to expect with her.
She's a mystery, and that's what makes her interesting... she doesn't commit to anything and she doesn't display obvious signs of investment.
And she interacts with other guys in a friendly and welcoming fashion(except Darryl) instead of shunning them away, like the typical LI.
Nyx needs to be careful with the next step of this mystery and i hope she doesn't turn into another girl looking for "the one" too fast...
There are signs, she knew the MC(on certain routes) had a GF from the start and saw him doing things with other girls before, and never showed any concerns... Now she finally spoke up about the MC having a GF in that particular route.
That hints of something more.
And it would be really shitty thing to demand a break up and then go back to "I don't know, maybe".
