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.
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.
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.
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.
