I think you could say Iris is very straightforward, or just forward -- she doesn't hide her feelings, and she readily makes snap decisions rather than spend lot of time weighing her options. I suspect her hangup on MC is in part because they've never had anything that'd count as a real closure. So yeah, she's kind of stuck in the "he's still my boyfriend" mode, even if she wraps it in a guise of a joke.
But whether that has prevented her from getting involved with anyone else in the meantime is an open question. Until recently you could probably bet on a "no" given how the author was trying to avoid anything approaching NTR, but i think that's not really the case anymore and you can see that "boiling the frog" in terms of introducing some NTR-adjacent elements has started with the most recent updates. So learning that she, not unlike MC, had some hookups --at least with girls-- in the meantime wouldn't surprise me. Heck, the first thing Iris asks of her "supposed boyfriend" when they meet again is to help her hook up with Erynn, after all.
I feel like while she would love to have him back Iris is scared about the possibility of the MC having moved on, this terrifies the normally confident Iris.
Even confident people can get scared when they get the "feelings".
This sounds pretty realistic, and they never really talked about possible relationships during that time. Yes, Iris definitely has bisexual tendencies, and I don't rule out the possibility that she's had a pussy eating session or two. But I definitely think that if she got MC back, she'd be loyal and it would be one of her happiest days...
I think Iris staying celibate would cross into "extremely unbelievable".
It's not like she was expecting to ever meet the MC again...
Saying she had sex with some girl from college will be something that doesn't make things too unbelievable while being easier to swallow for most players.
I can understand her not getting laid since seeing the MC again, because she can't stop thinking about him and stopped calling her booty-call.
And it's not like the players remained "pure" since Iris(some crazy guy might who knows...).
I don't think that would have this sort of ramifications -- why would it, when it happened while MC literally didn't yet meet Alexis and Layla, and it was seemingly a one-off with neither party trying to make it anything more than that?
That's true, but now after all this time, I think we'd both do it again... And let's not forget, this would be another Nyx drama on the list...
Yes to both, as of now it's just an awkward coincidence...
But Nyx is sure to give us the rope for us to hang ourselves by trying something with Lakeyin
Also Gianna the bartender, i wanna tap that
