VN Ren'Py Intertwined [v0.13.2] [Nyx]

[byaaahh]

I think that Erynn does/did love the MC, but back then it was more of a sibling love for her. There are a few times in the game where I question that though. During the confrontation with Lexi, Erynn says "But you know how I feel about him!" "You know how much I missed him and how happy I am that he's back" and implies that only Lexi knows her feelings about the MC.
I agree that the 5 year break was a positive for their relationship to take a romantic turn. As hard as it was for them, it was necessary.

You're right, it was more of a sibling type love, but as the saying goes "Absence makes the heart grow fonder".

I don't think only Lexi knows how she feels though, Mel probably does and I suspect Ethan too, which is why he's antagonising MC after returning. Erynn never cared about him as much as she did MC, so he starts manipulating Zach to betray his oldest friend.

The 5 year break allows her to see him in a different light now that he's grown up, had they kept being neighbors it may have been harder for her to see him in this fashion.

I think even though she thought of him as a brother, that declaration in the backyard stuck with her(and she probably talked about it with Alexis, before and after the MC coming back into town, so Alexis knows).


They talked about things since Erynn also knows about the stolen kiss.

Melissa knows even if Erynn never told her anything, simply mother intuition, she keeps pushing and teasing for them to get together, so she believes this is what her daughter wants, even if she doesn't vocalize it.

Ethan disliked the MC since he was a little boy, saw him as constantly getting in the way of his plans of conquering Erynn... and probably knows that the adult MC presents twice the problem.

my favorite part of the 5 years apart is the 1000 question game Erynn came up with it's such a cute and wholesome scene.

 

[MrD812]

But when you are 16, dating a 13 year old or even looking at a 13 year old that way is just a....no. I usually have to say this in defense of Erynn and the MC's "confession" but I think that the same applies to Lexi as she was also 16.

Was actually dating one but to be fair, looked no where near my age.
Being taller then her wasn't just the case, worked out 3x a day.
Not unheard of when two genuinely long for each others company.

Sometimes most unplanned odd things can happen between friends.

I especially liked it when he tried to ask a perverted question to control the flow of the game, and she answered right away. I like the fact that it's their special game.

Erynn is the most independent character in the game, except for maybe Alexis. The only people who know how she feels are those close enough to her to figure it out, which makes sense in Melissa's case. Interestingly, being around MC causes her to open up more.
I wonder if MC returned and wasn't a model if those feelings would've remained when she saw him. She would've been his friend, but would she have had the same romantic interest in him? This is just an interesting question to ponder.

Here's another question that doesn't affect the game, but I figured I'd pull on this string. Since this is a small town, how did he not run into some of his high school people who were not named Zach before his return? Sure, some would've moved in during the past five years, but at least Mckayla was there before Zach moved.

Yeah she immediately knocked it out.
And the questions, more than a month later, are still ongoing lol.

Melissa presses and pushes her towards the MC and every time she keeps denying there's anything to her mother, so Melissa is 100% doing this out of her own interpretation.

Just like she wasn't really interested sexually in the 13 year old MC... maybe she wouldn't(she immediately notices that he grew up nicely), but that would also apply to every other girl that falls for him right away... Layla, Alexis...

Yeah that's a good question why no other friends at that age?

Make no mistake, liking/loving/longing for someone's company isn't always about sex.
Age and society cannot choose peoples wants/loves/desires and even we are blindsided at times in life.
My experiences in the past had differences(was before my 13th birthday, she wasn't 16, 19).

Amounts to the same situation, odd couples happen more often then not.
Looked older then her but those not knowing us next to never guessed our age and, it didn't matter.
Ethan knew her actual feelings about the MC, called her out on it ....

and in THAT, Nyx Nailed it Hard Core.

Perhaps that's true, but that was not the case here. The pictures show an older sister/younger brother dynamic. Their time together was more than likely when they were alone. Erynn was hanging out with her friends when the admission happened. Her first instinct was to defend her younger brother, who was getting picked on; it wasn't going to see how MC was feeling or even to reassure him.
Ethan knew nothing; he was just working on his isolate Erryn operation. His first step was chasing away the pesky younger neighbor.

If MC had stayed, Erynn would have made the same mistakes, which weren't mistakes, as I don't imagine she'd figure out that Ethan had cameras in her bedroom. The only difference is that MC isn't an outsider, so it's a totally different dynamic. He might even get shut out like everybody else.

The only thing that makes me think Erynn had deeper feelings when they were younger was when she mentioned her Prom and because MC wasn't there, she went with Zane instead.

She actually went with Ethan to the prom after he used the sex tape to blackmail her. She didn't explain things to Zane so they broke up after she declined his prom invitation and went with Ethan.

(I cut out some renders and text because they wouldn't fit in the collage.

My bad, thought Zane had sex with Erynn after Prom and Ethan recorded it

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Don't think it's a coincidence that Zane works for ethan's father's modeling agency.

I don't think Zane is a part of Ethan's crew.

I think he knows about the tape, having it leak and ruining Erynn's rep is being held over his head. He did recently suffer a broken nose, perhaps for his refusal to do the photoshoot with Erynn.

I don't think he's part of Ethan's crew either. Like Zach, I think Ethan made him an offer, and he took it—presumably a modeling contract in his case

 

[MrD812]

Perhaps that's true, but that was not the case here.

Negative, when someone is being called out(And she was).
The way they reply says more then what they tell You outright,
Learn to read people by their reactions when investigating.

Things will be more clear getting to the bottom of things.

I can't even remember what he offered Zach. Did he buy the car for him? or was it just an invite to the modelling show?

Erynn says she hasn't seen him in a long time, doesn't even know he works as a model(to the point of thinking it must be a different Zane).
I think the abscent model(Zane) was suppoused to come from a different agency... i'll take a look later.

Edit: Ultimate answer is there's no info which agency he works for.

Later, already at the shoot, Gil Burke(the guy who is paying for the campaign) brings the name Zane within earshot of the MC, we question Erynn about it and she says she doesn't think it's the same person and she hasn't seen him in a long time(therefore she doesn't know about his work as a model).

Time for some speculation:
Him being a model might be a recent thing(unlike Erynn who has been doing this for 3 years), 2 models in a small town... they'd probably run into each other if he was doing this for years too.
For them to not see each other(if this is not a new thing for him) i think the agency, under Ethan's manipulation, would have to be taking measures to ensure they stay apart... and this instance simply slipped.
Since she never runs into him, i'll also say he doesn't go to the same college that Erynn, Alexis and Iris go...

Just a dude who spends his days at the beach catching waves and smoking weed lol.

I do hope we get to meet Zane soon, so much speculation... i'd like to start getting some answers.

I don't think Zane is a part of Ethan's crew.

I think he knows about the tape, having it leak and ruining Erynn's rep is being held over his head. He did recently suffer a broken nose, perhaps for his refusal to do the photoshoot with Erynn.

The broken nose might be a story Zane made up once he learned he'd have to work with Erynn.

I can't even remember what he offered Zach. Did he buy the car for him? or was it just an invite to the modelling show?

I think it's just taking the horny little bastard backstage into modelling shows.

all this talk about ethan and zane. could make random reader to think that those 2 are lis.

Maybe the MC swings both ways and we will get that gay tag
