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 think what Alexis did at that moment was very caring and gentle, but doesn't indicate big prior connection, some people are nice to others just because they are nice in general.
Some people give up their sits on the subway, some pretend not to see an old person...
Alexis saw a kid hurting and tried to lift up his spirits... her words in that scene didn't sound like "i wish you gave the flowers to me instead", just general "keep your chin up" stuff.
I think before the backyard she may have "liked" him in the way you might think the friend of your friend is a nice guy.
The only other reference to how much they were connected before the backyard is when Erynn says this:
They are confronting and speaking directly to each other, no reason for that to be a lie, perhaps it's an exaggeration? There must've been at least a couple of "good morning, nice to see you" lol.
But nothing that indicates huge prior connection, much to the contrary, they never talk about any past events where they were together... besides the obvious one i mean.
And like we previously touched on, the MC has no idea who she is at all... not something that happens with people you have some relationship... on the plane he's slightly fearful about how meeting Erynn again will pan out, he still hates and remembers Ethan, but Alexis doesn't even compute... Heck he recognizes fucking Zach right away
.
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'll be taking my primary save to the end, it's Erynn + Layla with a side order of Gabi
, the travel will be just to see Nathan since i broke up with Nikki in this one.
It's a relatively straightforward one for the mess of girls tripping over each other that i usually make lol.
Second... the big messy one, Alexis, Val, Erynn still wants in, Gabi, Nikki... hopefully some fights and angry chicks this episode lol.
For anyone who actually did the Tori route, does she ever actually show a softer side or is she always just Tori?
She's starting to soften up but doing her best to hold up her tough chick act.
Each time she cracks a little bit, she denies and says something bitchy right after.
