Many here forget That time and Age play a part here, our personal views of today are skewed by time, age and knowledge, we have watched the events that have happened up to now and the options of the Mc, now vs. the time he confessed are not the same and depending on the way you play the Mc is a male slut possible scumbag for being with so many. In game he is doing his job. But if you inject any part of the real world no girl will keep him once they all know.
But at the beginning the Mc just wants his crush to respond. Initial rejection did happen, Mc’s Mom screwed up the possible acceptance. And the kiss by Alexis is a boy taking advantage of opportunity. Even if you play for Erynn you don’t get anywhere she still puts him off. He used her when he was little for some protection now, she wanted to use him as away out. I don't see love on her part ever in the game. At best she likes him. Once she sees him after all the time passed, she doesn't acknowledge any part of what she did to him because in her mind when mommy sent her away, she did her part to rectify things back then however he rebuffed her after that day. So everyone is equally screwed up in this game and at fault
As the Mc in this game Zach and Ethan must pay.
