As you have to be on multiple paths for the catalyst scene it sounds like you need to have two LI paths open, which two LIs in conflict have "many people" been waiting for? Erynn and Nikki is the one that comes to mind for me, the catalyst scene being that Nikki texts MC to tell him she's coming to visit while he's with Erynn. That's why Nyx corrected herself from "particular path" to the plural, because the singular path she was thinking of was Nikki, you have to be on her path to get the ep 14 visit, but then realised she was talking about the particular scene many have been waiting for, and you have to have Erynn's path open to get that.

I know it's still like a year or so away but I just hope in episode 14 we can get in a school fight with Zach so we can spend some time in the principals office with Alexis's smoking hot mom. I know MiltonPowers would agree with me as he just wants Lexi to wear that wig all the time.

Part 2 of this update, the visit to Alvarado/Riverside is finished. No more Nikki/Cara/Nathan scenes for this episode.

I can finally start working on part 3, which will also be the last part of this update. Before the work on the last scenes starts, there will be a few smaller scenes at first to tie all the routes somewhat together. This may be somewhat of a spoiler, so for the people who want to be completely surprised and don't want to guess what it could be, ***STOP READING NOW. I'm working on a scene which is the catalyst to an upcoming scene in ep 14 which many have been waiting for. And for whoever isn't on that particular path, or rather paths since you need 2 things to happen, they "intertwine" together, tough luck.

YOU CAN CONTINUE READING FROM HERE***

Apart from that scene, part 3 will have several medium-sized scenes. I say medium-sized, but some could be smaller, others larger.

There will be another Erynn scene, an Alexis scene, 2 Layla scenes depending on your relationship with her and a secret scene to end this episode.

Oh right, MC will get a new haircut in part 3. And since the new haircut will be spoiled in future preview pictures, I will share it with everyone next time once I start working on those renders.
Eagerly waiting to see if there is any Elena progress in this episode...

id be really surprised if there is tbh. I think if we see any it's gonna be a super short scene after getting Layla to forgive us.
Would you be surprised if Layla didn't forgive MC? Of course, this would only happen in reality... Every woman experiences such a breakup differently... And how she processes it emotionally... After all, this decision would block Elena's route, who will only talk to MC about the future if Layla forgives her , and she's not angry... So if Nyx plans Elena's solo route, it will be a forced forgiveness... And then let's not compare game decisions with reality...

Yes, this is a game in which we have the opportunity to make decisions... But in this important matter, which affects two, or rather three characters emotionally, the player has no say... You are only forced to accept Nyx's decision and continue traveling on the train.. .
Of course, some people must hate me now, but I wouldn't forgive MC... Anyone who played the Layla route knows how Layla really feels... She literally feels betrayed because the MC just played with her emotions and meanwhile he wanted Elena... He doesn't deserve forgiveness... I'm sorry this is...

Can't argue with that. Lexi looked smoking hot in the red wig. :p

For me I think I need to replay that path to see at which point the MC realizes he has feeling for Elena. For me if he realized at the moment you make the decision to make Layla cry , then I can cut him some slack and say he can be forgiven after enough time has past. But I still think he should of continued with the date and just found a reason to not have sex and end things in a few days or so. But if he did catch feeling before that point then id 100% agree cause he should of never gotten to that point with Layla then.

I have very bad news for you, you should revisit this route, for the very reasons you mentioned... That's why I won't spoil it now... And one more thing, and I don't want to troll now... This game is full of Nyx dramas, and this is going to be a real drama now if Layla doesn't forgive... We've already seen MC "sit down" because he dated two girls at the same time (Lexi/Layla)... It was also drama on that route... MC be smarter , since "there are many fish in the sea"...

I agree. This is one of the reasons why Elena is off limits to me, unless Nyx changes things and makes a path that doesn't make me feel like shit pursuing her. Sure I have a save where the MC, Layla and Elena fool around together, but my main focus is always on Layla, although the MC still annoys me with the blocking out Layla's face on the picture of the three of them if your points are high with Elena.

There's the real life aspect and the "game" aspect in conflict here... for a Elena solo path to exist, Layla must not only forgive but also give her blessing.
But i don't think i've ever met a woman(or a guy) who would forgive just like that...

It went on too long... so freaking long that the break up happened right as Layla was ready to take a very important step for her, literally minutes before the "planned" conclusion to her special night.
The way the girl is broken afterwards... it was brutal... it's hard to picture her being OK with this guy moving onto her best friend, just like that.

I do have a save exploring this path, but it's not one i'm too excited to pick up and play.

Good thing i've always favored Layla anyways, it's fucked up for players who just wanted Elena from the start.

The whole Elena path is a real mess, honestly it's hard to believe that she is a confirmed LI. Especially when you consider that Valeria isn't a confirmed LI, yet her path and scenes are so much better than Elena's IMO. I mean what time does she even get with the MC without Layla or her brothers being around? I think that it's pretty late in the game now to open up a new way to get Elena without hurting Layla, so she's just stuck being the feel bad option.

I haven't met anyone either who would be cool with that. Most probably wouldn't speak to either person (the best friend and the other person in the triangle) ever again.

What I'm hoping for is that Nyx doesn't whitewash or shy away from the difficult writing of Layla forgiving or not forgiving the MC like she did with the Erynn-Lexi fight and reconciliation. Nyx is good at writing brutal break-ups and endings to relationships, but I'm hoping she'll take up the challenge of Layla telling the MC to his face what she really feels about his behavior.

Layla hides her feelings and can step aside to make others happy like when we get in too deep with her path and Lexi. She seems to give the MC and Lexi her blessing if you choose Lexi, but then tearfully confesses to Elena that she really liked the MC. If it plays out similar here with Elena and MC, I hope Layla explodes at some point at the situation since it cuts too close to her heart.

For me it would be truly heartbreaking if Layla and Elena's friendship were to be destroyed over the MC. My best case scenario would be both of them telling the MC to get fucked and walking away hand in hand. But since Elena is a confirmed LI and the only way to get close to only her is to get close to Layla and then ultimately hurt her, I can't see that happening. I would imagine it will just be Layla putting on a brave face pretending she is ok with it, while dying inside.

Agreed, in the Alexis situation Layla already was... extremely understanding, a bit too much for my taste if i'm honest...
And crucially this happened way earlier in Layla's relationship with this guy, a couple of kisses, nothing more... that makes it somewhat easier to let it go and move on.
This time things went on too long, to the point that she was ready to do something with this guy she never did before.
It's fucked up that Layla is always the character that has to take the hits and be ok with it, so i do hope she just isn't ok with this.

In the reverse situation Alexis is clearly still sore about being dumped for her sister(or BFF), that's more relatable.
The Erynn vs Alexis at least there are hints of future trouble brewing...

As i said once before(some 500 pages ago), we don't play these things to watch people be reasonable and understanding.

Definitely seems like Nyx wrote herself into a corner, it's a hard sell to have Layla be happy and enthusiastic for her 2 friends being in a relationship now, it will always feel odd... like she acts ok with it, but cries herself to sleep at night.

Or then doing the "realistic thing" and having both girls cut ties with the MC... or Elena and Layla having an icy relationship because Elena decided to prioritize her feelings for the MC in the end...
Everything leads to a fucked up situations.
