Rather, it's writing in the style of "she's a hostage of the situation", but this is definitely not her type or kind of kink, otherwise she wouldn't be so concerned and downed about the video that Ethan has. Even if her concerns are not only about the video itself, but about teacher career and the things Ethan forces her to do or the alternative he offered to her to escape from this situation. And in photoshoot she is more like excited and feels more relaxed and happy that she is doing it with MC and not a random dude. She definitely got a mental trauma after first time with Zane and the followed consequences and she can't get rid of it even with MC for a while.I don't know if any of you guys have mentioned it already, but Erynn seems to have a pattern (Nyx's conscious or unconscious writing choices) to get into situations where potentially another guy gets to watch her doing things naked/half-naked with another guy. The negative version of that is of course the sex tape blackmail narrative thread with Zane and Ethan. The positive version of it is the modeling consensual photo shoot with the MC.
If I'm not wrong we never got a chance to recover from "_End" or "_Friends" states with girls (ASP have a special variable and conditions). So, if it dragged through so much episodes already, then it sounds and feels to me like grounds for "bad" ending(s) or kind of it. Any fixable conflicts and misunderstandings are settled in 1-2 episodes max as we already seen. Telling Layla about Lexi at the pizzeria, rejecting Layla in the camp, declining to help Erynn with her blackmail problem, peeking with Zach on Elena & Sienna in showers, even breaking Layla's heart by picking Elena over her. It's all can be forgiven and MC can explain things in one or another way. But literal betrayals or acting as a jerk seems like a fatal fuck ups with no escape. Not helping Erynn with Ethan when he beats her, fooling with 2 sisters while not telling them, fooling with the person who hated by half of school (Tori) in front of the girl you kinda like (Val). Difference is noticeable and predictable in most of the cases.As Kpyna puts it, if Nyx allows the player to get into burning world, scorched earth or lonely limbo scenarios, does that mean Nyx will write a redemption arc for the MC to get back into everyone's good graces or are we doomed to wander the Earth like Cain from the bible?
Some games doesn't allows you to fail at all, forcing you to choice LI and sticking you to it (LoF). Some allows you to fuck up MCs life (mostly intimate), but most of characters are still friendly to you (BADIK), so you can't get rid of girls and force them to stop talking or be friends with MC. And Intertwined is kinda bigger in this, girls can stop interact with MC and act not friendly towards him. So it makes a much more noticeable difference.
