Erynn's sexual development is so slow and strange that you might think she's the MC's sister.
I mean, even with younger, less confident, and inexperienced girls (Layla, Cara), everything was much faster and somehow more normal.
But here, Erynn is older than Layla and Cara, she is not a virgin, she is confident in her body (she even works as a model and has no problem undressing for a photo shoot), but for some reason, the sexual dynamic is purely sisterly, where the boundaries of what is permissible must be expanded in small steps.
Perhaps with this strange dynamic, the author wanted to show that she is somehow traumatized or something... but it's done very weakly, if that was really the goal.
I wonder why even the main character himself doesn't ask himself what's wrong with her and sex? Although the MC here is not very quick-witted, he doesn't really like to think at all.

In short, an incest patch wouldn't hurt))
I'd say is pretty obvious that she is traumatized, her first sexual experience led to her getting blackmailed and forced to do things against her will... those things leave a mark, sub-counciously she's afraid of what will happen afterwards.

It makes her afraid of commitment...
A confusing relationship already made the MC run once(her relationship with Zane also didn't end on a posistive note), she fears that something might happen and make the MC leave again...
So in her mind sticking to a simple friendship is the safe choice, as Kaskaze put it, she fears losing her friend.

The MC x Erynn relationship won’t be easy at all.
First off, they both know they’re friends. If they decide to take it further and things don’t work out, they lose not only a partner but also a friend. Even if things end, it’d be hard to see each other just as friends again. It wouldn’t be ‘Hey, that’s my friend,’ but more like ‘Hey, that’s my ex.’ So it’s basically a lose-lose situation if anything goes wrong. That’s already one reason why they both act the way they do — their whole relationship feels like walking through a minefield.

The second reason is everything with Erynn + Zane + Ethan. A girl who’s been used like that won’t trust anyone. Like, literally no one. She’ll be super cautious.
It was mentioned that there are tons of people on set/photo shoots, so she might feel a bit safer — or at least pretend to. That’s probably why taking a few pictures as a model is easier for her.

(And hey, I’m not a psychologist or anything, just sharing my thoughts )
That’s why Erynn acts kinda distant or slow with her actions — but honestly, it’s totally understandable
For god’s sake, if people are already bringing up the incest patch, someone drop a meme about not being able to fuck Emily — ‘cause you just know someone’s gonna ask

The only thing I don't necessarily agree with is the part about Erynn's fear of losing a friend, she doesn't behave with the MC as if they were just friend, not for the age they both are.

She's a grown woman, open enough to have chosen a career as a model, and she's VERY aware of who she is and how she looks.

What I mean is that for me the only real reason that justifies how slowly the relationship with Erynn develops, is the traumatic situation she's in, not her past friendship with the MC, or the risk of losing a friend.

Friendzone IS a thing, she doesn't put the MC in the friendzone, she routinely jumps in his bed, she flirts with him, she's jealous of other women he hangs out with.

Going to ask, how many of you had a friend of the other sex when you were in your late teens/early 20s? How many times did they jump into your bed while you were asleep or strated changing in front of you? In the case it happened, how did you react to it and how did your friendship develop?

EDIT because I pressed send before finishing it lol

Erynn is afraid of losing the MC, but not as a friend, that's not what she wants.

'Friends' also don't usually let you grope their boobs either lol.

yea, I think if not for the Ethan stuff, Erryn would be an all-or-nothing girl much like Alexis. I believe that question from so long ago and the aftermath truly fucked her up.

Friends definitely fuck with each other while sleeping, but all the other stuff, probably not.

This is generally a weak theory, but even it could only have been relevant up to episode 11, before they began a sexual relationship. When two “friends” kiss while half-naked or naked, engage in petting, masturbate each other, it is obvious that this is not a normal friendship, but a romantic relationship. There is no difference between this and penetrative sex for mature adults. The difference only arises for inexperienced teenagers (not the case here) or siblings (not the case either, unless there is an incest patch).

So in her mind sticking to a simple friendship is the safe choice
But she doesn't make that choice! The MC is not and never has been in the friendzone.
I'd say is pretty obvious that she is traumatized
No, it's not obvious. It's a theory based on the events we know about.
But her behavior is not like that of someone with sexual trauma. Even Valeria shows this better.
It's just a flaw in the author's work, which we have to fill in with our own guesses.

Erynn is afraid of losing the MC, but not as a friend, that's not what she wants.
I get the feeling that because they are friends from a very young age, friends that used to sleep on the same bed as kids, showered together... Erynn(perhaps innocently) doesn't see these things(sneaking into his bed, waking him up, "intense" hugs) as flirty, like an older teen/young adult would see.
At least to a certain point she sees it as the kind of relationship they had before (and she misses dearly).

The "afraid of losing her friend" part, isn't so easy because she's conflicted between the safe choice of staying friends and the new feelings she has for the adult MC, part of her wants the relationship, part of her is afraid that this could damage their friendship.

Id say the fact that she blueballs the mc on multiple occasions when they both get undressed shows how timid she is in terms of sexual interactions. That and the fact that she basically isolates herself from everybody.

I just gave one frame from episode 11.
Does this look like friendship? If the MC's other LI sees this, will she believe that this is just a normal thing between friends, or will she decide that they are lovers?
The only one who will forgive, but not believe such nonsense, is Iris.

I've already said, she's split between wanting a relationship(and she does want a relationship) and afraid of possible negative consequences of this relationship.

Obviously as things progress she's gradually moving more and more towards relationship and leaving her fears behind.

It is pretty obvious to me... her sometimes wishy-washy actions are consistent with someone who wants something but is afraid to trust.

Never mind that your stupid ass started this because you wanted Erynn to be the MCs sister or some other dumb shit...

God, you're such a snowflake. It was a joke, considering that Erynn acting like a sister.

Maybe it’s a weird example, but Iris also has a relaxed and very specific approach to friendships and relationships (like watching Alexis and MC’s sex). I’ll still stick to the idea that MC + Erynn have a different kind of relationship than everyone else. Both have their fears, both have their flaws, and both are afraid to take a step forward Zrzut ekranu 2025-10-27 193709.png You can see it here too. Erynn wants to say it, but she’s scared, and MC isn’t pushing or forcing her

Unless they are... say... dealing with trauma.

You are so close to getting it :cool:

God, you're such a snowflake.
So edgy... careful not to cut yourself ;)

You do know that the pictures you upload are from the Erynn route, right? It wasn't MC's decision, it wasn't Erynn's, it was yours.
You as a player decided to think with your dick and not your brain. If you say no to the photoshoot together, then these scenes don't exist. Especially not on a Lexi route... You want more from Erynn and you don't think about Nikki... So, I ask, why are you complaining? It's all your decision... Or do you just want to troll... :unsure:
