For Melissa i believe we will have a conversation in which she'll say "let's just forget this happened".
And we will get options like "Yes" and "I don't want to forget", picking the second option makes her relationship path "real".
And then there's how having Erynn as a romance will interact with this...
Surely it will make Melissa feel terribly guilty, it's a much heavier secret for her to hold on compared to a random girl you have a relationship with.
Iris(this applies to Erynn too) is trying very hard to stop herself from doing something that will jeopardize her relationship with Alexis.
But she still loves the guy and i'm betting that eventually she will "give in" and we are gonna have a conflict.
Same thing with Erynn-Alexis, girl is in love with her BFFs boyfriend, she's not doing anything... but we know she wants to, let's see how long she resists.
It's the jump to boyfriend that happens out of nowhere to me... they had just gotten back together, i was still in "let's bang" mode when the jump happened. And of course there's no choice here, it just happens.
The last choice (a full chapter earlier) was simply "i wanna continue to see you"...
I feel like i didn't read the whole contract, there were clauses i missed completely
It's hard to compare the speed against "flashback relationships", they do happen very fast... but that's because they are summarizing months in an hour of gameplay(applies to Nikki, Cara and Iris).
