So whats the timeline here for release?
I think it's getting close I saw the title of one of the previews mentioned something about going home. So that tells me she is close to being done with Day 2 out of 3 at least. Tho there is a chance she made that render head of being close to done with day 2.

I actually want to see what Nyx does with Zach. His betrayal needs to be addressed.
I don't think we'll see it in v0.13. The next update is the rest of spring break with the weekend in Riverside and Alvarado Hills as biggest part of it. MC will see Zach earliest on Monday and I think it'll be v0.14. We've to be patient.

Yes. You have to be a on a Gabi path to take a photo with Ximena. Actually when you're on the Gabi path, Ximena will ask if you want a photo with her. She's probably doing it as an assist for Gabi. But she doesn't know that you're a student of Gabi. And it also looks like she's interested with the MC.
avn is nothing w/o 3some. :p

So I'm just tidying up a couple of final saves before moving on, and I figured I'd check - is Elena always involved in a Layla save? I mean the fooling around in the hottub after Sienna and her guy leave. I was going to do a quick run through for a "clean" Layla save just in case (as I prefer to have no entanglements if it's a dedicated LI save) but then wondered if there was a need to. I presume Elena is "avoidable" because it would be a bit weird having some of the thoughts if you're on a Layla solo path (i.e., not trying to branch off it to Elena or any possible throuple).

Yes it is possible to do a Layla run without involving Elena, but I don't remember exactly which choices. It seems to me that kissing on the subway is important

I thought as much, but as I was starting up the save I thought I'd check just in case I was wasting my time :LOL:

you just largely go for choices where you get Layla points instead of Elena and you won't even get the option in the hot tub to kiss Elena. Even if you have enough points with her, you can still decide against involving her, so it's entirely player driven. The train kissing scene is automatic I think, no points to be gained there.

I excuse the whole Erynn being friends with Ethan cause she was young. Hell when I was young I was friends with people I knew I shouldn't because I didn't have the backbone to not be friends with them anymore. So if I go from that point of view I can understand why she kept Ethan around and was friendly towards him for awhile. Not saying that's case for her but I can at least understand it a bit.

As far as the walking off with the confession thing, yeah i see your point but at the same time she probably didn't know what to do since she was around her friends. Not something you really should do in front of others as it can cause embarrassment for the girl or vis versa as well if she isn't into you then she would have to turn you down infront of her friends. Which makes a damn if you do and damn if you don't situation at least if she is nice enough and doesn't want to cause a scene or embarrassment for you infront of others. So I can't really blame her for walking off personally.

The only reason it's blackmail material for Erynn is because of the career she wants to go for. It can hurt her chances of ever becoming a math teacher.
I'll give on the walking off bit cause your right, she probably didn't know what to do and needed to have time to think. But the friends with Ethan? No She claimed to be so close to MC and Ethan always picked on him i would have never hung out with someone that picked on one of my close friends. He would have been #1 enemy. And the walking off part and laughing at a stupid video regardless of her not knowing what to do or not it would still be her fault.

I see where you are coming from but for me they are both at fault for different reasons.

I mean you are right but I am giving her the benefit of the doubt here because of my personal experiences of still being friends and hanging out with people I shouldn't. Since when I was young because of my lack of backbone prevented me from cutting said people off or stop being friends with them.

I think you have to tell Zach that Elena is nice in the club, if you don't she won't go in for the kiss.
Many other choices can knock Elena off, not helping her train, not staying with her and her brothers at the beach...

And as you said even after all that you can still chose to focus on Layla for a Layla exclusive scene in the bathtub, not even an option to tell Layla that you like Elena if you do that, you just skip straight to the bedroom.

I think not all of it was known, too. Like in one of the flashbacks Ethan agrees to stop being harsh on MC, then walks round the corner, bumps into him, and pushes him over and tells him to stay away from Erynn. It's a bit naive perhaps, but I don't think she knew the worst of it, which if she did, would probably have pushed her to act, or act more forcefully, at the time.

Reason #1858 I'm liking this game: the different interactions you get on different paths that just seem so much more evolved than in most other games. Layla clearly likes you, and she'll get jealous if you interact with other girls even if you're not on her path, but she has that sweet spot as well where she is a perfect best friend. Maybe it's just because it's Valeria, another friend of hers, but several times Layla teases you when she notices you looking at Val, and she acts like a wingman too, telling you to stay and take more photos with Val. Another time she offers to help find you a girlfriend. I love that from a girl who on another save is a full LI/MG.

I would buy that if it didn't come from her own mouth that Ethan always picked on MC during a flash back.

What a simple action can trigger in people's lives.

At the party, besides the MC, there are three more people, all about three years older. They are chatting lively when, suddenly, the MC hands a flower to Eryn, saying something that visibly leaves her flustered. However, before the situation can unfold, Ethan interrupts by showing a funny scene on his phone, making Eryn burst into laughter. Feeling offended, the MC pulls away, and Alexis, noticing the moment, approaches him, saying she would love to receive a flower too. Without hesitation, he steals a kiss, making the MC feel so shy that he rushes up to his room.

Meanwhile, Eryn, after the video, remembers what happened with the MC and decides to go after him to try to clear things up, but the MC’s mother stops her from going upstairs. And so begins our eternal drama... All of this could have been avoided if the MC’s mother had let Eryn go upstairs.

Yeah, so she knew about it, but did she know the extent of it? There's a difference between picking on someone and properly bullying them (though I accept it's a nuanced difference). Not an excuse, by any stretch, but even at 15, kids might easily miss the full depth of something like that.
