Eh, Ethan is definitely connected to this - either as a blackmailer and a pimp or just a pimp.By the expression of her face you can really see that she isn't happy at all. She's in dark spot, probably wants out but doesn't know how. And here's the hole in entire plot. Something or someone is keaping her from leaving. Whether its a blackmail or something else. What kind of job she does? Prostitution, striping with touch me element, some sort of addult escort whatever its clear that she doesn't like it a bit. You can say that she's a hooker, by the job she does. The q in my mind is is Ethan in anny possible way conected to it. Does he blackmail her or its something else? From last episodes you can see that she isn't a fan of him and yet somehow he have a grip over her.
As for MC shifting all the blame to himself its more 50-50. Sure he does have some fault in some cases but he isn't responsible or fault for Erynn, choices she made and job that she do. Its all on her an her alone. Note that i like Erynn, she's like number 1 girl for me in this game but you have to be real in some questions.
Guess we will find out in due time.
