Again - speaking from personal experience - it just isn't worth the impact on your own health to deal with someone who doesn't seem to really care all that much about your personal emotions. MC doesn't have to be a dick to her, but expecting a second chance when your actions resulted in someone leaving for 5 years.You should rethink that really, a second chance to someone who was a true friend and expresses desire to reconnect is a good idea.
Not telling you to fully press the reset button and forget, but... put one feet in the water and gradually step in.
I've seen the theory that Erynn might be suffering from mental health issues currently due to poor experiences during those 5 years, so perhaps some people here see someone they want to try to fix? It's actually not a bad character arc for Erynn if this is the direction it's going, and that might be enough reason for me to at least be kind to her rather than shutting her out completely. However, the relationship she wants (i.e. BFFs or similar) just isn't something I'm personally willing to do.
There are always consequences to any action you take in life regardless of the circumstances. It also goes both ways, meaning if the MC does decide not to give her a second chance that she is by no means obligated to atone for her actions.
