Erynn's relationship is the key differentiator...I hadn't been focusing on this constellation the whole time until the discussion started here.
Now I'm really excited to see how Nyx resolves it. And before anyone shouts, of course Nyx will give us a choice at some point, either mother or daughter, but how that comes about and what happens after that will be really interesting.
Does Melissa still go for it or having Erynn means she ultimately backs off and never acts on her desires?
If the choice to act comes then how we procede from there? How we tell Erynn? What would be her reaction and what happens to their relationship? It's basically Layla-Elena times 100x.
With no Erynn there isn't anything at stake...
Emily might be a little pissed off innitially, but Melissa doesn't have much of a relationship with anyone else... the worst it can happen is she loses a client
