Yup it gets frustrating how awful the situation is, blackmail, sexual harrassment, psychological torture and even physical abuse... and how little everyone seems to care about it and just goes about their daily lives like there's nothing wrong, including the MC and Erynn...This part of your post " The most important thing is getting through to her that she doesn't need to be afraid to love, to trust others and be happy." Reminds me of the other game in my signature, which does that very well. Which is a bummer to think about cause her path would be alot better for sure if we actually tried to get through to her but instead the MC goes day to day never trying to get through to her despite knowing something is wrong even before she told us everything.
I understand she doesn't like to talk about this but still... Which brings me too:
yeap after nikki left erryn and the mc become more than just friends for sure at first they where friends with some sexual tension (and few kisses) but afterwards on the last episode became really close and surely more than friend if you count the scenes in the MC room(in one scene tells erryn she is his) and the monologue of MC in his bathroom,the photo-shoot scene and the bathroom scene
i believe that MC in my save he loves Nikki but he is in Love with Erryn and erryn is the love of his life for years.
I'm not saying you guys are wrong, it does feel like they are beyond simple making out...I forget the dialogue but yeah, they kissed so much in this update + other fun things like the shower. it really felt like they were more than friends without having to say a word that's why it feels like to me the are unofficial commitment to one another to me unlike before were they were more on the edge of it. But I still think be nice for them to have that talk soon. Different story if you are on the Lexi Erynn path tho
But specially because we are dealing with a traumatized person... the MC needs to vocalize his feelings and stop playing "smooth".
This is a person who needs every reassurance that there's gonna be someone there to catch her when she jumps, so i do think the "big words" need to be said.
Hopefully the beach event provides this opportunity, it's possible her ex-boyfriend(the one from the tape) is gonna be there.
This should provide the perfect opportunity to say something.
