well Iris is blonde and she was the first, tho not a proper LI at this point
- Thread starter Maleficent
- Start date
Can anyone pinpoint the moment when Layla and the MC become a couple? Alexis has already introduced him to their Dad and Lakeyn as Layla's Boyfriend, and the MC affirms it, but they never really make it official like on the Alexis route.

I don't think they had that conversation but I say it's implied when she had sex with him for the first time . As everything since then moves forward like they are official

It's almost like it was written to organically grew into an exclusive relationship.
Layla has several conversation with Adriana about the 'boy', and even 'boyfriend', and Layla never denies it. Adriana catches them making out on the couch at their place. There are lots of little things, but no singular "will you be my girlfriend/boyfriend" moment that I can recall.

yeah it's not like with Lexi. For me it makes no difference really but it could have some importance in the game, can't really say
I guess thats kinda fitting cause this is Layla's first relationship, so it makes sense since they kiss all the time and do other stuff she would just assumes that the MC is her boyfriend. And eventually, even though its not explicitly conveyed, the MC probably realizes that she feels that way and just goes with it.
Maybe it could be a loophole the MC uses if he's been cheating on Layla like "Hey I know I took your virginity, but I didn't know that meant I couldn't bang other girls" lol
Not that he was her first relationship, but I was looking forward to see how Elena would exact revenge on Lucas. Was very, very, disappointed that story just disappeared into the void. Elena can be great at the best of times but I was just imagining the kind of horrors she'd be capable of when she's really pissed.
It's probably still coming, with Spring break over it may happen as soon as next update. If you're not dealing with the Layla breakup

Lucas is a dropped ball. It's been so long now that if Nyx does anything, it doesn't have the benefit of pacing and will feel out of place. If Lucas stays in the void, his impact on Layla is a lot less significant than the initial story would have led you to believe. I think Lucas should have been one of Ethan's goons when Zach betrays MC. Would make Ethan a more compelling villain as he is taking the effort to actually look into ways to harm the MC, forming a type of alliance with others that seek to get rid of him.
Agreed, the main difference between Erynn-Ethan and Layla-Lucas(btw does Nyx like to make her villains names match first letters?) is that Lucas never had any impact into Layla's psyche or her life, Lucas left no scars on Layla, no trauma for her to overcome... and he also hasn't bothered Layla in a loooooong time.
After the last time he stopped her in the park there's the weird hoodie theft that we don't even know if it was actually him(and rich girl Layla just bought another one with minimum fuzz, literally no effect
).The Layla relationship grew without any concerns about Lucas, there's some mentions of "think about what happened last time" from Elena in the early chapters but it got forgotten fast and things kept moving forward seamlessly.
Maybe Nyx will bring him back to get his ass kicked... could be fun.
But she really dropped the ball by completely forgetting him and not integrating his plot with the Layla relationship blossoming.
That was part of why it was interesting when Lucas accosts MC in the park, that Darryl and his track buddy (did he have a name?) are there also. Was it preplanned? It certainly seems like it as none look or act surprised to see the MC walking by. They both seem to be involved, as when they get off the bench they tell Lucas that he's taken it to far and they are leaving.
From that scene on, I had hope there'd be some "Intertwining" of the villains between Lucas, Darryl, and perhaps even Ethan/Zach.
He's called TJ, always takes part in the sprints(and loses).
It seems like Lucas was telling Darryl about the guy who grabbed Layla and the MC happened to walk in.
Darryl recognizes the MC and remembers Tori flirting with him, he backs off when Lucas starts his attack, like he expected to make some threats but not actual assault.
Right, TJ. Going to have to fire it up again. Forgetting too many small details. Only problem is what LI...

I honestly don't even see Darryl as a villain anymore. He's clearly threatened by MC coming in and besting him at track, seeing Tori flirt doesn't help things, even if Darryl is a typical jock. All the flaunting around Val is meant to evoke an emotional response from the player, since Val isn't going to do anything with him ever and Darryl isn't the type to assault someone.
I think it would be neat to have a way to slowly win him over, he's never gonna be best friend material. With friends like Zach, who needs enemies?). At the least he should be able to come to a mutual respect over track and I'd love a plot to put Tori in her place (not that type of threesome or anything, just something where Tori gets embarrassed).
At the training camp, when you had the option to either Walk Away or Confront Him, after he cut into your race lane, I had initially thought that would be a catalyst moment to establish how the two progress. Walking away would allow for wiggle room and confronting him could make that bridge harder or more difficult to cross. But he overall seems to have petered off into becoming more of a background character since camp.
