I think so, but even if she knew, she could realistically think Ethan wouldn't have that much influence in his father's business.

well the poll someone posted a few pages back said it needed to be animal themed so wouldn't work if I recall. Just not sure if everyone's has to be or just Alexis wants hers to be

If I recall correctly, Erynn told the MC that Ethan's dad scouted her and signed her.
Still an awful risk to take with a guy that has been causing trouble for her for years and just blackmailed her...

I think she also said his dad has been nothing but nice , respectful and all around a good guy to her. So she didn't think anything of it and had no idea Ethan would be her agent and when she was gonna quit the brought up the blackmail again.
Unless I'm mistaken I might be wrong with some of the details here

I did before the newest update (you should try her current path btw if you haven't to see if it can change your mind too) but she's still not my favorite. I always felt she got a lot of hype I could never understand with the content she had.Meanwhile I'm reminded of how I'm probably the only one in here who doesn't like her

The new content made me feel some kind of way. He's normally a horndog that tests boundaries but he had that shit turned up to ten on his date with Val

I'll be short because I don't want to get chased away with torches and pitchforks.
The issue I had wasn't that much with her, but how she was forced onto me as a player, in my first playthrough (I only started playing this VN 2 updates ago) I had no interest in pursuing her yet, for what seemed to me like forever, she kept popping up no matter how hard I was trying to ignore her and pick negative answers.
I'll eventually try a playthrough involving her, but due to my age I tend to gravitate towards older LIs, not just in Intertwined mind you.

yeah before this update I saw Val as an overhyped pretty face now she is in my top 3.

You'll get no pitchforks from me, different stokes for different folks. I just always try to do all paths in a game, even if i'm not into them to see their story. (I hated Quinn in BAD till i tried her path) You might change your mind or maybe not.

I'm an old stubborn mule, one of my many defects, so first impressions tend to stick with me, but I'm also a bit of an OCD completionist, so I'll have to play also her route.

with your MC's name that's gonna be confusing when it comes to his best friend haha.
But there is no Elena in this update just trying to make things with Layla has she gave the MC an ultimatum in the last update.

There's a very good chance, yes. Did you do a route without Val? I don't know if Ximena say the same thing regardless (if we didn't take the picture with Val, or if she didn't see MC on the side walk.
There's also a slight chance she would know MC because of Anders, because she seem to know him. But she would've probably made the connection right there "Ahh that's how I know you" (or something like that). But these characters aren't always the brightest (for the sake of writing a story with a lot of twist), so it's possible.
My money is also on Ximena-Valeria, especially since every renders of Val mom look exactly like her.

I think you're overthinking this. I can't remember if it's been mentioned at all, but where was the tape recorded? Did they say it was a motel room? My thought is that Ethan just happened upon it by chance - the way he was, it wouldn't surprise me if he was keeping a close eye on Erynn, potentially even stalking her. He could easily have just been outside a bedroom window filming them on his phone. I certainly don't think however it went down that there was a camera set up in advance...
Zane was definitely involved, but probably only in the sex part. It's very easy for him to have had just as much knowledge of the filming part as Erynn did.

Yeah I kind of always thought it was just a happy accident and he pulled out his phone but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he was a stalker with that scene in ch 12 that shows how obsessed he is over Erynn. Tho im not convinced Zane was involved just yet. The only reason im not convinced because how he broke up with her over Prom. While that doesn't mean anything and Ethan could of lied and betrayed him if he was involved. But my gut tells me if he was involved he wouldn't of broken up with her over Prom but rather help Ethan and get a "turn" with her once in awhile.

Yeah, I definitely agree - I don't think Zane was involved (except for being the other one on the tape). I guess that he's as much a victim as Erynn, just that he's not had it used against him, and potentially doesn't even know about it at all.

Not sure how you can say that Val is "forced" on to the player, far from it IMO. To even get on to her path romantically you have to make every single positive choice with her on the training camp trip, otherwise they are just friends. Or is it that you have an issue even being friends with her?
