I had entirely forgotten about the below conversation Lexi has with the MC when she wakes up after the concert. Going through her playthrough now, and just came across it. In particular the last shot in the series I included.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

It's obvious she didn't want the MC to leave, as she says exactly that. But why didn't she want MC to leave? I really don't think she was actually indifferent about him leaving. Trying to mentally connect all the dots from the scenes, I think there was actually *something* she felt for MC back then. How much? No idea.
  • I don't think she wanted MC to stay solely because of Erynn, because that wouldn't be complicated.
  • I don't think it was because of Ethan and Erynn, as she had no idea it was going on.
  • The only complication I can see, is she had feelings for MC and she knows Erynn liked MC. That must be why she wishes MC hadn't left... as I don't know what else it could be.
I could be entirely wrong, but curious as to thoughts with all the previous scenes and then this one.

I see this final line as something she's speaking with the benefit of hindsight, she likes him now, no doubt about it, and she wishes the situation she currently finds herself in wasn't so complicated... she wonders if him staying would've been enough to uncomplicate it.
At the same time she recognizes that had he stayed, their current relationship probably wouldn't have played out the same way...
He was 13, looked like a kid and she was 16 close to a young adult(and, again, she expresses being unhappy with the kiss right at the moment), they didn't have much in common(Erynn also says that during their fight, that they never talked much).
Heck that was the thing that was scaring him about "losing Erynn", she was making new friends, her own age, and didn't have time for him... that applies to Alexis too, though he wasn't concerned about her at the time.

Her level of indifference vs actively wanting him to stay (at that particular moment, not right now where she clearly wishes he had stayed) is always going to be speculative and biased vs objective.
I do think this kiss meant more to her than to him, since she remembers everything and connects the dot much easier and he needs a biiiiiig push to remember her at all.

Maybe you will find my take overly negative(like i find yours positive) but it is what is...

PS: I think we got off on the wrong foot, but i don't wish any ill will upon you and i think this latest post was very well reasoned even if i see it differently (y)

Quick little update.
Everything is ready for release. Renders, coding, ... There are still things I'm not happy about but as I mentioned, it will be for another time.
I've tested most? routes and I didn't find any issues so far. Some scenes have a different dialogue depending on whether you are on a multi-path playthrough or not and also which girls you're "dating". I don't know if I did all the combinations but I still have time to test some more. I'm sure something will come up but knock on wood.
I will release episode 13 this Friday, December 20th.
As mentioned last week. I will take a small break during Xmas and New Year and return some time during the 2nd week in January. More news about Episode 14 and future changes then.

Only two days left to prepare.

I wouldn't rush into playing routes before the update, as there are reworks that could potentially mess up your saves. Plus you'll miss out on the reworked or added stuff.

that's why im just redoing my solo paths and some time after the update gonna replay the game ( probably gonna do a Erynn , Alexis save might include Val and Nikki not sure yet)

I'm dumb and always restart from ep 1 when an update drops because I've got a billion routes and don't remember every little detail on every route and I'm paranoid I'll miss something important. Doubly so on a Val route or the Alexis secret path.

which is why after this update I'm gonna redo my saves with a spreadsheet for certain choices haha don't got time for that now so gonna quickly speed run them just to play the update as I don't know what save is what anymore lol

you can't go after Val if you are on the Layla path (which was the requirement for the Elena one)

Not negative at all, by any means! Was just curious on a different interpretation. It wasn't directed solely at you either just happened to be the first one I found I replied to.

I definitely concur that the MC didn't see Lexi in the same light as I think Lexi saw MC. He even saw pictures at Erynn's and couldn't recognize her, other than her looking familiar.

To me, I think there was interest in the MC back in the day, just how much something it was is the question. It would be odd to go kiss someone on the cheek in a vulnerable moment like that if you didn't at least care for the person. Otherwise why have chased them, and been the *only* person the flashback to wish him happy birthday. Not even Erynn did it, in the scene we can see, and he didn't talk to her again after the scene, as Erynn said when he finally confronter her about it.

I still think Lexi's look after having her first kiss stolen was more of a shock or surprise at the moment it happened. It wasn't to push him away, glare, frown, but there is some room to interpret the surprise overrode it briefly.

But that's the beauty of a single moment in time, from the past. It's in isolation with a lot of missing context. Did Lexi have any sort of interest in the MC? She is clearly the quietest in the group so may have been really shy in those years. Were there any other scenes that could confirm or deny it?

I'm having a hard time deciding which path to play first. I want to see Erynn's beach date as I've been waiting for that forever, then there's Val's beach date.
But then I want to see the redone Lexi content and all of the new stuff on her path. Nice problem to have for sure.
I will play them all, but you can't beat the first time IMO.

I still need to do an Erynn solo run, so if Nyx has done some more rework I will use that one as an excuse to see the changes.

Otherwise I am good to go:
  • Layla
  • Layla (Alexis Secret Path)
  • Elena
  • Alexis
  • Nikki
  • Cara
  • Valeria
